Recording her dialogues with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period, Baek begins to disentangle the feedback loops, knee-jerk reactions, and harmful behaviours that keep her locked in a cycle of self-abuse. Displaying 1 - 30 of 3,923 reviewsJuly 25, 2022I reached for “I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokbokki” by Baek Sehee for two main reasons: 1) I hoped to get a better insight into the way a standard therapy is conducted in South Korea, 2) I was interested to see how therapist’s culture influences the approach.
The book, structured in the form of twelve conversations is a record of three months out of ten years of the author’s therapy, plus some loose chapters about her problems and thoughts.
The author’s statements and expressions of emotions resembled those of some of my students and it was interesting to see how her psychiatrist addressed her issues. Very quickly, though, I found their level of incompetence unbearable. It was pretty obvious for me from the beginning that Baek may be experiencing a burnout and may be suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome (she ticks all the boxes) but the psychiatrist does not suggest or imply it even once. They (their gender is never revealed) give advice which in my cultural environment would be highly
unprofessional (not to say that it isn’t helpful at all): “Just tell yourself, ‘I won’t drink so much next time’” or “Try to enjoy the present” or “Don’t think about the future too much. Your anxiety can become a burden to others”, to quote a few. The author complains about her low self-esteem, fear of being judged, obsession about her appearance, jealousy, anxiety, hypersensitivity (which she and her psychiatrist call ‘oversensitivity’), her desire to please others, especially men, but the therapy never goes anywhere. The conversations have no structure, no
direction, they are all over the place, and I felt that the psychiatrist isn’t even interested in helping their patient. They didn’t probe thoroughly enough, often didn’t seem to ask the right and most obvious questions, didn’t address extreme patriarchy, which made me see clearly how much the therapist is the product of their culture, in which abuse towards women and alcoholism are normalised.
Psychiatrist’s statements like: “We drink precisely to get drunk but now you’re envious of people who drink and don’t get drunk” or inquiring with an only slightly hidden shock why the author gained five kilos (“Really? You don’t look like you have. Was there a particular reason?”) made my skin crawl. Several times the psychiatrist openly judged the author, calling her childish, and blamed her for not telling them about experiencing side effects of prescribed medication. This for me is highly unprofessional and completely unacceptable. They also didn’t seem to
lead the conversation well when the author shared her obsession of always looking beautiful for men and asked questions like: “Maybe I just don’t have the kind of face men like?”. After three months of therapy the author states “Everything is a mess” and feels more out of control than before she started the therapy, which I fully understand, considering the low quality of sessions she had. Even if she sometimes felt the psychiatrist understands her, she never got any constructive guidance on how to solve her problems. What she received was several pieces of
advice on how to avoid dealing with the problem, which seemed to be random ideas of her psychiatrist, not a product of their experience, qualifications and knowledge. For example, Baek complained about drinking too much but instead of investigating why she does that and what kind of coping mechanism her drinking is, her therapist just suggested avoiding friends with whom she goes drinking. This may be a common way of sweeping problems under the rug in Korean culture but it is totally inappropriate from the therapy’s perspective as it does not solve
the root cause of the issue. I could name many more similar tips the author received. I learned from the book that the author spent ten years in therapy and didn’t end up much wiser. No wonder. The psychiatrist prescribed her a ton of medications without explaining the reasons for doing so, side effects, expected results and even ways of seeing when the medication starts working (!): “I’m going to change your medication a bit. The antidepressants will lift you from the ground a little more, and I’ll also include some mood stabilisers”. I have heard of this level
of incompetence from some of my Asian students and I don’t need to mention how extremely frustrated it makes me. Denying a patient knowledge about their health and treatment is a gross misconduct. The author claims to have learned several things - she understood that she can let herself be, that she can let herself feel whatever she feels, that she interprets events in her life depending on her mood. However, I would expect her to learn this and start processing the positive change within the first month of therapy, not after ten years. The fact that her
psychiatrist didn’t give her any homework, didn’t explain what they are going to do in their therapy sessions, left me speechless. This whole book is a case study on how NOT to do therapy and treat patients. It is also a really badly written (and, I suspect, translated - there are glaring linguistic mistakes) record, called by the publisher “a memoir”, of the author’s struggle with her mental health, reading about which can make many readers frustrated. Recognising yourself in the author apparently happens to some readers but the level of advice and support is so
poor that I warn anyone hoping to actually find some guidance and clarity in it that it is most likely not going to happen. Save yourself time and go to a therapy. And if you find a therapist similar to the author’s psychiatrist - run away and find a more competent professional. asia non-fiction south-and-north-koreaMarch 30, 2023Inhaled this book this weekend morning and I am so glad I decided to pick it up after getting frustrated by my recents reads turning out to be either DNFs or very disappointing ones.This short memoir deals with mental health and a lot
of issues most of us keep thinking about almost everyday regarding our own unhealthy behaviour towards ourselves and others (including strangers!).I feel this is a must read book and it has gained popularity over the years ever since it got published in Korea for so many reasons, one of the reason I feel is that it has a very comprehensive way of presentation which is very easy to follow regarding the talk between the author and the psychiatrist. autosys 11.3.6 user guide All I can say is that it brought me so much peace and comfort.luce (in the doldrums &
very behind reviews)May 25, 2022❀ blog ❀ thestorygraph ❀ letterboxd ❀ tumblr ❀ ko-fi ❀ “I wonder about others like me, who seem totally fine on the outside but are rotting on the inside, where the rot is this vague state of being not-fine and not-devastated at the same time.” There was something about the title and cover of this book that brought to mind Ottessa Moshfegh’s My Year of Rest and Relaxation and a line from Madame Bovary: ‘She wanted both to die and to live in Paris’.
Naturally, me being a fan of both of those novels, I found myself intrigued by I Want to Die But I Want to Eat Tteokbokki. 86820708568.pdf This is a relatively short read which is made up of the transcripts from the author’s session with her psychiatrist over a 12-week period. While there are occasional breaks in this patient/psychiatrist dialogue, these are brief, lasting one or two pages and consist of the author musing on the words of her psychiatrist or offering her own words of wisdom. Now, on the one hand, I appreciated reading these sessions as they lead
to discussions on self-esteem, depression, anxiety, peer pressure, one’s desire to fit in and be liked, toxic relationships, etc. Baek’s worries and everyday tribulations will likely resonate with many millennials. While I appreciate the honesty that radiated from these sessions, and from her willingness to confront, assess, and critique aspects of herself, I did grow a tad bored by them. I remember coming across a book (i think it was a book) where a character comments on how, most of the time, other people’s dreams do not strike us as interesting as our own ones.
Well, this is how I feel about this book. Baek, understandably, finds these sessions to be enlightening as through them she gains self-knowledge and a more nuanced understanding of her mental health, I did not. As I said, I could certainly relate to some of the conversations they have around self-esteem and self-perception, but at the end of the day, these sessions were tailored for Baek, and I couldn’t help but feel a bit uneasy at being ‘invited’ in. Maybe because I have always associated therapists/psychiatrists with privacy, but there were several instances
where I wanted to bow out and leave Baek some space. Part of me wishes that this book could have taken only certain exchanges from her sessions, and incorporated these into longer pieces where the author considers the issues they discussed. In short, I wanted to hear more from Baek, and less from her psychiatrist. transitive and intransitive verbs worksheet pdf
If I were to record my hypothetical sessions with a therapist or whoever, I doubt anyone would want to read transcripts of it. And if they did, well, that’s kind of sus.Anyway, jokes aside, this was by no means a bad book. I just think it could have benefitted from more original content (ie mini-essays/think pieces).5-so-so-reads netgalley-edelweiss nonfiction July 12, 2022This is a hard book to review or rate because according to how it is being marketed it is supposed to be "part memoir" and "part self help", but then, it is neither. This book is literally (yes, I mean
literally) TRANSCRIPTS of her therapy sessions with her therapist with some short reflections re the sessions. I thought that the "therapy conversations" part were just going to be excerpts that serve as a jumping point into her actual thoughts and experiences as someone living with Persistent Depressive Disorder, but it was really 80% just "therapy conversations". For a book that supposedly lays it all out, it lacked depth in terms of allowing the reader to step into the author's experiences with her struggles with her mental health (examples of books I read
recently that did this well: The Limits of My Language: Meditations on Depression by Eva Meijer, Hello I Want to Die Please Fix Me: Depression in the First Person by Anna Mehler Paperny). clave de activacion movavi video editor plus 2020 gratis It also did not give the reader any insights into her process of seeking mental health support and being in therapy itself. Because again, you literally just get the back and forth between her and her therapist, not her internal thoughts or dialogues re what is being said in therapy. I get that it is brave to bare your
intimate conversations in the protected space of therapy out for the public to consume, but then, the way it was structured just makes it feel...a bit lazy. Aishah Humaira' (Mermaird ♡)February 17, 2020I think one of the most important lessons that I learned from this book is that there is only one "you" in this world, and you are special in your own way, regardless of what happens. I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokpokki is a book originally written in Korean, about a woman diagnosed with dysthymia. Baek Se-hee wrote the dialogues during her sessions
with a psychiatrist, and included her inner thoughts on how she wants to love herself better.I don't read a lot of self-help books–I can't remember any apart from Loveability by Robert Holden, but I didn't even finish reading the book completely–so I was quite unsure what to expect from reading this. I had wanted to love this book, and that is exactly how it ended to be—and perhaps I love it more than I had hoped.Although I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokpokki is actually a compilation of written dialogues between the author and her psychiatrist, I was
able to immerse myself into the conversation, to the point that it felt very intimate, as if I was in her situation all along. I was never clinically diagnosed with depression or any other mental illness, but I went through my own dark moments and I could relate to most of the things that Baek Se-hee went through. The confusion in Baek Se-hee's dialogues mirror my own, and the psychiatrist's words sent me a blanket of comfort that I absolutely needed.I had prayed for 2020 to start of well for me, but alas, January did not end as the best time for me. However, the
presence of this book, the words and dialogues written by Baek Se-hee were able to help me cope with my own dark overwhelming thoughts. I didn't finish the book in one seating, it took a whole deal lot of times, but I am utterly grateful for it. I Want to Die but I Want to Eat Tteokpokki is the kind of book that I will keep very close to me, and will reach out to it again whenever I'm at my lowest.I definitely recommend everyone to read this book. I was able to relate to a lot of it, and I hope others will find comfort from it as well. I hope that even when you feel
like dying, there is something that you still want to do to stay alive, no matter how small the matter is, even if it's only craving for some spicy rice cakes.October 16, 20223.5 stars !! ty Bloomsbury for sending an ARC !!the title grabbed me instantly and when i heard namjoon read it, i added it to my tbr immediately. i've never felt more seen reading a book.i really enjoyed the first half of this book. the writing style is very blunt and straightforward which i found myself appreciating (for this topic) but i lost interest over halfway, for the same reason. it felt very
repetitive and lost direction. it covered many topics such as depression, self-esteem, friendships/partners, etc. darefebekevoninozozagogo.pdf i feel like there was no arc to the story. each chapter brought on new issues and we slightly pick up from the previous chapter but there is no overall character growth. which i can understand because this is just a record of baek sehee's recount of her talks with her psychiatrist, but it did make the reading experience less enjoyable.despite the issues i have with the book, i still would recommend readers give it a try
because this honestly felt like free therapy to me. to my mentally ill besties, READ THISSSSSS !!arc asian-authors review July 4, 2022 ‘You are fine now, just the way you are. tia 569 e You might say silly things when drunk, there may be side effects from the pills, but you’re fine. If the latter happens, all you have to do is call me up and swear at me.’ To think that I’ve waited for (quite a while for) this to be translated…Made me feel a bit silly. And while I think the translation was extremely well done, the writing just didn’t resonate with me.
bewiwojavapibewamazapuz.pdf BUT still, I am so down for this – I love that journey for you, Baek Se-hee (as I failingly attempt to flip my hair like Alexis from Schitt’s Creek). Quit your job to turn your emotional shit into gold? I 'stan'. At least she seems very genuine about it all.
BUT my point is – this isn’t the book I thought it would be. I was expecting some dark beast of a book riddled with a whole platter of fuckeries. It’s very mild, but that doesn’t mean the writing doesn’t matter. It still does; it just doesn’t resonate with me. I’m not the right reader for this. Reading Baek’s book, made me feel like I have vastly under-rated Sarah Kane’s 4.48 Psychosis. ‘I wonder about others like me, who seem totally fine on the outside but are rotting on the inside, where the rot is this vague state of being not-fine and not-devastated at the same
time. The world tends to focus too much on the very bright or the very dark; many of my own friends find my type of depression baffling. But what’s an ‘acceptable’ form of depression? Is depression itself something that can ever be fully understood?
In the end, my hope is for people to read this book and think, I wasn’t the only person who felt like this; or, I see now that people live with this.’ Structurally, the book is all over the place, or at least I didn’t enjoy how it was structured. I found the conversations between her therapist completely redundant. Lazy even.
It’s like screenshot-ing and forwarding texts. I think this book is better suited for someone who has no idea what it’s like to talk to a therapist? I don’t know – because that could be a bit misleading as well.
Personally, when I was seeing a therapist last, I went through about ten before I found one that suited me. It was a whole ordeal. how to bypass intermatic timer I don’t think I’m that ‘picky’ per say, but Baek’s portrayal of ‘mental healthcare’ makes it all seems so simple and easy. But then again, Baek and I are clearly very different people with very different views. And I suppose I’m just the wrong reader for the book.
‘…empathy is an act of imagination. If I don’t plant the seed in myself, it will never grow. Which is why some people never seem to understand the lives of others. But the only way to create something inside me that is not there to begin with is through imagination. You’ve got to learn how to empathise, to imagine.I used to treat empathy as something very difficult, and shut myself off from the things that didn’t affect me emotionally. But surely to create something in me that didn’t exist before and to extend emotional solidarity to another person is one of the
rites of adulthood. We are so far, and yet so near to so many people.To learn about and imagine the emotions that I don’t understand or immediately empathise with: that is the affection I extend to others, and the only way to ensure that what’s inside of us doesn’t dry up or rot…’ In her, book, Baek wrote about how she thinks ‘empathy’ is a form of one’s ‘imagination’. And that bothered me, somehow? I’m not disagreeing with her completely, but I still think of constantly being aware of someone else’s feelings is a kind of human/social responsibility?
And the way she phrased it so simply felt kind of off-putting to me. Perhaps I’m only saying that because for me, there is no ‘on’ and ‘off’ switch when it comes to that sort of thing. I just sometimes 'pretend' to not be affected/care. I suppose that makes me sort of hyper-sensitive (usually when I’m in a ‘healthy’ state of mind)? For instance (though not the best example) I can usually tell what’s going on with someone I hold dearly when we talk on the phone. They would often be annoyed/delighted with my lack of surprise when they tell me about a certain thing.
But I think being ‘empathetic’ and/or ‘sensitive’ doesn’t naturally mean that one always is always having enough emotional/mental energy to cater/attend to someone else’s needs. And I suppose there is also difference between being a ‘sensitive’ person and a ‘reactive’ person. Just because you mirror someone else’s emotions, doesn’t mean you’re necessarily ‘sensitive’ and/or ‘empathetic’. But that’s a whole other set of discussions. And the point is that I wish Baek would explore these kinds of matters more instead of just ‘chipping the surface’ and skipping
over it.
It left me very unsatisfied. ‘I am in a vague state at the moment, which is not good. I was born depressed and pathetic. I don’t have deep thoughts or powers of insight. The only things I’m good at are regret and self-criticism, and even these I can only pause, never stop completely. I understand all this with my brain, but I have the hardest time modifying my behaviour appropriately. I support feminism and rail against racism, but I find myself shrinking away from a passing foreigner or my body reacts with distaste at the sight of a lesbian who doesn’t put on
make-up for valid political reasons.’ Also, I could have read it the wrong way as I’m not completely sure of it, but – the two times the word ‘lesbian’ appeared in the book, it made me rolled my eyes into a slimy, chewed-up gumball. The first time, she brought it up while talking to her therapist because she thinks of them as ‘minorities’ (after reading (I’m assuming it's Kim Hye-Jin’s Concerning My Daughter even though it wasn’t mentioned?) . Unnecessary segregation, but fine, we’ll just ignore that. And/but then she indirectly compared herself to the emotional
‘pains’/conflict them?? I get that she’s trying to say that a lot of our mental distress comes from societal pressures. But still a very unpleasant and unfair comparison. Not to trivialise her issues, but judging from what I’ve read, her emotional troubles come from body dysphoria and thinking that she’s not ‘achieved’ enough or whatever. While it’s completely okay to feel the way she feels about herself, I don’t know if I feel okay about her making these comparisons. What’s the point of it? Maybe I’m missing something? ‘There’s a desire to punish yourself, shall we
say. google drive john wick chapter 3 You have this superego that exerts control over you, a superego built not only from your own experiences but cobbled together from all sorts of things that you admire, creating an idealised version of yourself. But that idealised version of yourself is, in the end, only an ideal. It’s not who you actually are.
You keep failing to meet that ideal in the real world, and then you punish yourself. 36749078155.pdf If you have a strict superego, the act of being punished eventually becomes gratifying.
For example, if you’re suspicious of the love you’re receiving, and so act out until your partner lashes out and leaves you, you feel relief. You eventually become controlled more by imaginary outside forces than anything that is actually you.’ And to conclude, this Freudian block of trash just made my reading experience even worse. 98950818358.pdf I thought of sending it straight into the DNF pile halfway through, but I finished it anyway (thanks to the absolutely flawless translation). I love Anton Hur. And will always read everything and anything he
translates/write; and this is just a simple proof of that. I guess I should’ve just ate some ‘tteok’ instead of reading this. But if you’re someone who thinks that Sarah Kane’s work is too ‘heavy’, maybe Baek is just right for you.
I just want to clarify again, that this is not a badly written book, but I’m just not the right reader. If anything, I’m the ‘bad’ reader. And since I’m fine with being a ‘bad’ reader, there is no need for me to be ‘polite’ anymore, so allow me to shamelessly plug/recommend Tablo’s Blonote instead. Keep it in your tote, whether or not you want to read it. It does a whole ton more by being much less (in terms of word count anyway). It does enough even by just being. And my review of it , if it interests you.October 13, 2022Review: (1★) I try not to write overly harsh,
critical and mean reviews, but to be very honest, I hated this book. Having personally suffered from mental health issues myself, I was hopeful for this book. However, I found the writing disappointing, and the author immature, infuriating and insufferable. Some examples:• she got offended when a friend didn't seem to enjoy a book she recommended, and sent a scathing message to said friend, calling her "arrogant and exhausting"• she got annoyed when female friends and acquaintances praised her for being pretty, yet got jealous and unhappy when men
didn't compliment her on her appearances• she seemed obsessed with seeking external validation and reasons, using mental health as a way to justify her actions and behaviour (she seemed so eager to claim she had histrionic personality disorder, alcoholism and body dysmorphia)Overall, the book is really just snippets of conversation between her therapist and her, tape-recorded, transcribed and stitched together with diary-esque musings from the "author" that concludes with some feel-good cliches.
If that's your cup of tea, then go for it. But to me, it just feels a tad trite, lacklustre, and lazy.(Nonetheless, I am grateful to the author for so bravely, generously and candidly sharing her experiences through this book. May she, and everyone else, find their light within the darkness, their own reasons for living and happiness, even if it's as simple as a plate of tteokbokki.)If you're looking for better books that are similarly related to mental health and/or therapy, I'd recommend Lori Gottlieb's Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and
Our Lives Revealed (nonfiction). For fiction novels about mental health that are perhaps less uplifting but darkly humorous and surprisingly relatable, try Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar or Ottessa Moshfegh's My Year of Rest and Relaxation.April 26, 2023English: I Want to Die But I Want to Eat TteokpokkiThis novel proves that good intentions don't guarantee good literature: Autofictional protagonist Baek suffers from persistent depressive disorder (PDD), and the text consists of talks with a therapist over the course of twelves weeks, illustrating how Baek can find
a way to deal with her illness.
Clearly, the book is meant as a weapon to fight the stigma around mental illness, it is supposed to function as a resource to give visibility to people who suffer from depression and who might feel alone - and these are important objectives, as depression is a potentially deadly illness that is still misunderstood by many people. Alas, the book has a major problem: It is unbelievably boring. The educational impulse is overwhelming, protagonist Baek remains a chiffre, and the (highly professional) dynamic between her and her therapist doesn't allow for enough
immersion. Also, you would expect more complexity from a novel that focuses on the guidance of a mental health professional - but then again, I suppose the author wanted to connect to younger people who are afraid to reach out for help, and for this demographic, this highly accessible approach might be justified.Not for me, but I also love Tteokbokki.Deema ♡ (tella's version)May 21, 2023starting this part "memoir" and part "self-help" book that will hopefully make me cry and feel revitalised. this line convinced me to pick it up: "Why are we so bad at being

I finished reading this book tonight, and while it wasn't what I expected, there were things about it that I enjoyed.I loved the concept. Se-hee displays vision, creativity, and courage. small letter cursive writing practice worksheets pdf This project is the invention of a genre: The "MySelf-Help
Book"!Se-hee is blunt yet charming, I couldn't help but respect her throughout this book. The best parts of the text are her essays, which come at the beginning of each chapter, and at the end of the book.A whole group of essays concludes the book, and this is the best material -- personal, honest, beautiful. My favorite essay is "A Life With No Modifiers" p170.I had one really big problem with this book and that was that Se-hee's psychiatrist gave her terrible treatment. If the psychiatrist in this book was my psychiatrist, I wouldn't have returned after the first
session. Definitely not after he mischaracterized rationalizing and told me to go ahead with it. For sure not after his terrible advice on how to address my excessive drinking. That way he would never have the chance to make me think for a whole ten minutes that I have a personality disorder I don't actually have.Se-hee deserves better, but it's not her fault she didn't get it. People get sub-par mental health care every day, all over the world.

It’s not a five star read that blew my socks off, but oh myyy it was such
a comforting one.This is all about Baek’s mental health, which was timed perfectly with a lil blip of my own. Baek suffers from depression, but specifically persistent mild depression. As someone who feels simply hollow rather than having, say, violent feelings and suicidal desire, this book absolutely got it.The book is a write up of Baek’s time in therapy discussing this, as well as how she tends to use food for comfort. Usually the psychologist in me means that I have issues over confidentially, but as this is specifically Baek’s own stuff, I think I’m okay.Generally
this book was pretty repetitive. Little progress was made and Baek needed lots of reassurance she was doing okay. It wasn’t gripping or exciting, but also, that’s what therapy is like.It’s hard, it’s a long game, and although probably life changing, it doesn’t feel like it at the time. This one won’t give you a lightbulb moment, but it might make you feel very heard and a lil warm.V nice - which is all you sometimes want in a book. And for me, it’s porridge when I’m sad. 79354324910.pdf Maybe with cinnamon and slightly too ripe bananas, maybe with alpro
chocolate milk, absolutely piping hot and thick.January 4, 2021In the light of World Mental Health Day... “Hanya ada satu 'aku' di dunia. Dengan begitu aku adalah sesuatu yang amat spesial. Diriku adalah sesuatu yang harus kujaga selamanya. Diriku adalah sesuatu yang harus kubantu secara perlahan, kutuntun selangkah demi selangkah dengan penuh kasih sayang dan kehangatan. Diriku adalah sesuatu yang butuh istirahat sesaat sambil menarik napas panjang atau terkadang butuh cambukan agar bisa bergerak ke depan. Aku percaya aku akan menjadi
semakin bahagia jika aku semakin sering melihat ke dalam diriku sendiri.” (h. 111) Buku nonfiksi ini berisi rekapan percakapan antara si penulis–yang menderita Distimia–dengan psikiaternya selama prosesnya untuk bisa lebih menyayangi dirinya sendiri.
Terjemahannya bagus, isinya menarik, tapi memang sebaiknya buku ini secara perlahan dan tidak dibaca dalam sekali duduk. Jadi pastikan ada rehat di sela-sela membaca.Saya juga sangat mengapresiasi prakata dari Dr. Jiemi Ardian bahwa self-diagnosed itu tidak dianjurkan karena sangat mudah sekali bagi seseorang untuk melabeli kondisinya setelah membaca buku seperti ini. “Pada akhirnya, buku ini berakhir bukan sebagai pertanyaan maupun jawaban, melainkan sebagai sebuah harapan.” (h. 190) korean-literature nonfiction translatedNovember 27,
2022like many people here, i wanted to read this because of the wholly relatable title. 5 senses worksheets preschool and i finally picked up the book during a really bad mental health week, which was actually a good choice because it was nice to escape into someone else's problems, self-analyses, and anxieties (although it did make me question whether i'm doing therapy right).each chapter consists of a transcription of part of a therapy session, with reflections before and after. then in the end there's a note from see-hee's therapist, and see-hee finishes with
a few personal essays about specific problems in her life.
honestly, it seems like it must have been such a cathartic book to write. not only did se-hee forced herself to confront her issues in therapy, but she dug way deeper by choosing to write this book! that's next level.it's short and easy to inhale, and in translation the writing style is very straightforward and simplistic. i underlined a few helpful nuggets of wisdom, but my principal reaction is a neutral "huh."also: interesting to learn the term dysthymia, which describes "a state of constant, light depression." good to know. You're not hitting rock bottom right now.
When we're sinking in water, it can be a relief to feel the ground beneath our feet, the rock bottom, because we know we can kick against it to rise again. But if you can't feel the ground in life, the fear can be overwhelming. So maybe it's good to find your rock bottom. bio-memoir ebook-kindle first-read-in-2022 May 6, 2023Der Überraschungsbestseller aus KoreaWow, was für ein KnallerBuch. 183 Seiten, die ich innerhalb von zwei Tagen verschlungen und dabei jede Seite mit jedem Wort aufgesogen habe.Baek führt von außen betrachtet ein normales Leben:
Sie hat einen Job in einem Verlag, der ihr Spaß macht, Freunde und eine Partnerschaft, die sie sehr erfüllt. Ihre Gefühle kann sie gegenüber jeder Person gut verbergen und strahlt eine Gelassenheit und Leichtigkeit aus. vimoto_v8_bluetooth_user_manual_download_online.pdf
In ihrem Inneren ist Baek ängstlich, verzweifelt und niedergeschlagen und begibt sich daher in eine Therapie, denn es kostet sie viel Kraft diese Fassade aufrechtzuerhalten. Das Buch beinhaltet den Dialog mit ihrem Therapeuten, sowie authentische und ehrliche Reflexionen über ihre eigene Person. Und genau das konnte mich absolut abholen und überzeugen. Das Geschriebene lädt zum Innehalten und Nachdenken ein. Es geht um das Ergründen der Ursachen von Gefühlen und alten Verhaltensmustern, die sie mit Hilfe der Therapie umpolen kann.Ich hatte
ein tolles Leseerlebnis und kann den Hype total nachvollziehen.

least that much) but it’s really a self-help book, existing of written down therapy sessions. I just couldn’t connect.September 2, 2022READING VLOGIncredibly disappointing.Goes to show that the cross-breed between memoir and self-help should NOT exist. I think this worked as a bestseller in Korea because the country has a looo000ng way to go in terms of mental health resources. (Yes, I once had a therapist tell me that I should eat more kimchi and get a girlfriend and stop being gay.)America is far past this surface-leveled interest of wellness since our
Woody Allen women who all went to shrinks and even our YoutubeBetterHelpsponsoredGetYour10%Off! ads and the overall millenial movement of Canva-concocted pastel infographs that parrot pretty nothings. The literal Ctrl+C of the discussions you have with your psychiatrist do not hold any literary merit, which surprises me and puts into question the validity of creative writing courses in Korea. Did learn nothing? ??? ㅜㅜBy the end, comes off as shallow in such hollow writing better left on her naver blog.If you're curious about what my coworkers think
about on a daily basis with their weak ass sugary mix coffee, here it is.If anything, I think this is for the 18 year old crossing the threshold of frightened independency and absolute insecurity to better understand how people function in the most clinical sense possible.*additional star added to my review bc of pretty pink cover and some Korean texts mentioned that are perhaps more interesting than this book oopJessi ❤ H. Vojsk [if villain, why hot?]December 20, 2022I am someone who is completely unique in this world, someone I need to take care of for the
rest of my life, and therefore someone I need to help take each step forward, warmly and patiently, to allow to rest on some days and to encourage on others Before choosing this quote, I chose another one. A darker one. But then I was afraid and changed it to a more uplifting one. Isn’t that ironic for this kind of book? It consists of therapy sessions the author recorded and short texts on different topics between them. Many of the things that were said were relatable to me, so I really liked reading about the journey the author took with their mental health.
October 8, 2022I am not sure how to rate. A book that was more of therapy transcripts and reflection notes. I understand why people will read and relate to it. But I found this laborious to read. This was an experience similar to reading my diary, giving words to my inner voice. August 8, 2022April 15, 2023“That’s how it is with the people I love.
I love the light in their eyes, their passion and their courage in leaping into love. I’ve never loved anyone with half of my heart thinking, this is enough for me. As passive as I am, I share my everything.”A raw, no-filter memoir that felt like a cold plunge in icy water and a warm hug at the same time.August 11, 2022why go to therapy when i can read about people GOING to therapy, amirite ladies?as i was starting this one, i seriously had to take a step back and lower my hopes, with fears of being disappointed (it was a tiktok recommendation, don't judge me too
badly). thankfully, i found a gem!it is mostly a transcript of se-hee's visits and conversations with her psychiatrist, followed by chapters of reflections and conclusions about the various issues she'd face - perhaps that's why it felt impactful: it had based itself out of reality, yet it reads different from a memoir or a bullet point list. it was meant to be a book for a fast read, but i took (or tried) my own time soaking in all i read. i couldn't help but to see semblances of my own issues with se-hee's, and to drink the advices and words as if they were said to me. i
highlighted so many parts of my ebook that am now considering buying a physical copy so i can keep all the words truly by my side. se-hee is very open and self-aware, there are no tricks, and you'll read about the same problems more than once, which only enforces the real depth of her struggles. she's no angel, but neither am i. as a reader, i tried my best and she possibly tried her own best for us to see her as what she was: a human who is learning how to live. like all of us.now, this wasn't a stellar book. you won't get your depression or anxiety cured, and
you probably won't laugh either, even if the title might make you chuckle. but you'll get a very real descript of what living feels like so, so many times. you won't find solutions, but you might find some semblance of comfort. i really liked how stripped down it felt. August 31, 2022*This book, therefore, ends not with answers but with a wish. I want to love and be loved. I want to find a way where I don’t hurt myself. I want to live a life where I say things are good more thanthings are bad. I want to keep failing and discovering new and better directions. I want to
enjoy the tides of feeling in me as the rhythms of life. I want to be the kind of person who can walk inside the vast darkness and find the one fragment of sunlight I can linger in for a long time. Some day, I will.*July 23, 2022 i’ve always thought that art is about moving hearts and minds: faith that today may not have been perfect but was still a pretty good day, or faith that even after a long day of being depressed, i can still burst into laughter over something very small. i’ve also realised that revealing my darkness is just as natural a thing to do as revealing my
light. that's exactly what this book did. I felt so validated and seen.April 28, 2023this piece is a uniquely vulnerable, candid autobiographical work that i cherish, containing transcripts of a korean woman’s conversations with her psychiatrist, and her general reflections through included personal essays. this is a challenging book to critique, rate, or even discuss- because really, it is a very personal one that will mean something different to each reader. regardless, i think it’s a valuable resource, particularly for those struggling with their mental health, or
curious about mental health treatment. the transcripts, having been directly translated, are tender, reassuring and relatable, inviting readers into sometimes uncomfortable but deeply important discussions & moments. whilst obviously catered specifically to the circumstances and needs of the author, seeking the therapy for herself directly, i think there are pockets of the therapist’s advice that we can all learn from and adopt in our everyday lives. the essays were my favourite part! due to the immense talent of both the original author and the translator, the
writing flowed beautifully, in my opinion. it very much read like a stream of consciousness, with a journal like quality, but also contained insightful elements and profoundly thought-provoking content. i don’t know how to conclude this other than to emphasise my thankfulness to the author, for releasing this work. i imagine it was difficult and quite scary to publish her personal thoughts and challenges so publicly, but i think the courage in her words & story truly pack a punch. her eloquent, articulate voice has helped many readers identify truths within
themselves & feel expressed or represented. a very special memoir indeed :) “nothing comes from scolding myself or hating myself for these feelings. i simply must accept that i have room for improvement, and consider these moments as constant opportunities for self-reflection, to feel shame and joy at having learned something new and to keep inching towards change.” <3Displaying 1 - 30 of 3,923 reviewsGet help and learn more about the design.
