The book includes individuals who overcame enormous trauma and whom Gildiner considers “psychological heroes” so if you’re a fan of heroism, first-class storytelling and feeling inspired, this upcoming podcast sounds like the one for you.

The book’s synopsis states:

“In this fascinating narrative, therapist Catherine Gildiner presents five of what she calls her most heroic and memorable patients. Among them: a successful, first generation Chinese immigrant musician suffering sexual dysfunction; a young woman whose father abandoned her at age nine with her younger siblings in an isolated cottage in the depth of winter; and a glamorous workaholic whose narcissistic, negligent mother greeted her each morning of her childhood with Good morning, Monster.

“Each patient presents a mystery, one that will only be unpacked over years. They seek Gildiner’s help to overcome an immediate challenge in their lives, but discover that the source of their suffering has been long buried.”

Good Morning, Monster: this fascinating psychology memoir is being adapted as an exciting new podcast
