Download or read book Good Morning Monster written by Catherine Gildiner and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-09-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A therapist creates moving portraits of five of her most memorable patients, men and women she considers psychological heroes. Catherine Gildiner is a bestselling memoirist, a novelist, and a psychologist in private practice for twenty-five years. In Good Morning, Monster, she focuses on five patients who overcame enormous trauma--people she considers heroes. With a novelist's storytelling gift, Gildiner recounts the details of their struggles, their paths to recovery, and her own tale of growth as a therapist. The five cases include a successful but lonely musician suffering sexual dysfunction; a young woman whose father abandoned her and her siblings in a rural cottage; an Indigenous man who'd endured great trauma at a residential school; a young woman whose abuse at the hands of her father led to a severe personality disorder; and a glamorous workaholic whose negligent mother had greeted her each morning 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. It will take courage to face those realities, and creativity and resourcefulness from their therapist. Each patient embodies self-reflection, stoicism, perseverance, and forgiveness as they work unflinchingly to face the truth. Gildiner's account of her journeys with them is moving, insightful, and sometimes humorous. It offers a behind-the-scenes look into the therapist's office and explains how the process can heal even the most unimaginable wounds.

Book excerpt: 'How To' Guide books aren't supposed to be works of fiction, are they? (Even if some of the advice they give can be difficult to believe!) And writing manuals don't often tell a story, even if they tell you how to write one. Frances Nolan is a young girl with a problem - she reads too much. So much, in fact, that she begins to think she is a character in a novel that she's writing. This 'beautifully-angled novel about growing up and breaking down' (Richard Coles) is also a multi-layered book-within-a-book, cleverly charting the creative process of writing a novel and exploring the complex relationship between fact and fiction.
