Good Morning, Monster by Catherine Gildiner

Good Morning Monster offers an almost novelistic, behind-the-scenes look into the therapist’s office, illustrating how the process can heal even the most unimaginable wounds. Gildiner’s account of her journeys with them is moving, insightful, and sometimes very funny. As in such recent classics as The Glass Castle and Educated, each patient embodies self-reflection, stoicism, perseverance, and forgiveness as they work unflinchingly to face the truth.

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. 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. In these pages, she has gorgeously captured both the privilege of being given access to the inner chambers of people’s lives, and the meaning that comes from watching them grow into the selves they were meant to be.” -Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone In this fascinating narrative, therapist Catherine Gildiner’s presents five of what she calls her most heroic and memorable patients.
