About this listen

Psychotherapist Josh Fletcher takes us on a tour of the inner mind of a therapist—revealing a hilariously candid point of view on the therapeutic process, a practical guide to therapy, and maybe a few more cobwebs and dark corners than one might expect. It’s everything you ever wanted to know about therapy (and maybe a few things you didn’t).

Trauma, heartbreak, anxiety, and mourning are all parts of the human experience, and Josh Fletcher’s mission in life is to normalize the need to find a trusted professional with whom you can discuss all of life’s scariest aspects. Through the lens of four of his patients—Daphne, a wildly successful actor who still struggles to find contentment; Levi, an intim­idating bouncer with obsessive tendencies who’s trapped in a sex cult; Zahra, an anxious, people-pleasing doctor in the midst of unpacking serious trauma; and Noah, a shy newcomer with some major closet skeletons—you’ll share in their self-discovery and recovery as they untangle themselves from an all-too-familiar web of emotions. In between sessions, Fletcher struggles to balance his own well-being with that of his patients as details from his sometimes messy but always heartfelt personal life reveal that therapists aren’t immune to getting tripped up by the same hurdles as the rest of us.

And How Does That Make You Feel? is a primer on what to expect from therapy, how to find the right therapist, and the most common afflictions treated in therapy (such as depression, OCD, and panic attacks) as well as a darkly hilarious narrative about what’s going on in your thera­pist’s mind before, during, and after your session. Above all, it’s filled with the promise that a better future is always possible . . . if we’re willing to seek help and do the work.

Best book about mental health I have ever read

Funny, sad, inspiring, and so interesting to hear a therapist’s point of view. So many people expect judgement from therapists and this story shows the compassion, empathy, and care that is most often the reality.

So good! Highly recommend!

A follower of mine recommended this book after I had multiple panic attacks that led me to an emergency room visit. It was exactly what I needed at that time. Josh is the first person/ author that I have listened to/ read that actually described how I felt in words. So many things I have thought to myself, but couldn’t get out, made me not feel so alone. An incredible story. An incredible author! Highly recommend!

Recommendation 5⭐️

This story was more about the author/therapist than his patients. The author has categories for his feelings and he states this before he gives his thoughts, it is a bit hard to follow. Maybe easier in print. He is insightful for such a young author. Interesting listen.

Manchester, England sets the scene for a warts and all reveal of an authentic therapist’s professional and personal life. Loved the author’s sense of humor and ability to interlace story with information. Useful for any future interactions I might have with a therapist.

I absolutely LOVE this book. From someone that has gone through therapy for my own mental ailments, it is beautiful to see the truth from a therapists perspective. It is also comforting to see client reactions and behavior as I have been there myself. Joshua is a knowledgeable, empathetic person. Thankful to have listened to this book about his experiences. He shares parts of himself that make me look at therapy as more genuine and “ok” and less of a weakness. Thank you for this!

The raw, unfiltered and beautiful truth about therapy.

Mr. Fletcher does an outstanding job by letting the reader know what goes through the mind of a professional in the life of a clinical therapist. It starts off strong and keeps you engaged throughout. All the emotions are displayed here, which makes this such an enjoyable listen.

Excellent Read

I listened to the whole audiobook in less than two days. I loved it. As someone who's been dealing with disordered anxiety on and off for most of her adult life, and is finally in the process of seeking therapy, I found this book to be incredibly helpful. Josh's stories about his clients were fascinating. It's really interesting to step inside the mind of a therapist.
