. . Brief introduction of content. .
This is the memoir of a psychotherapist, telling the story that happened in the clinic. In this narrow confined space, people will show their truest and most vulnerable side; It is also here that people get companionship and listening, as well as valuable cognition, growth and change.
In the book, we will see the stories of four tourists. They are:
A Hollywood producer in his forties has a successful career and feels that everyone around him is an idiot;
A female university teacher in her thirties was diagnosed with a terminal illness just after she got married, and her time was running out.
A 69-year-old, divorced three times, felt lonely and desperate, claiming that his life could not be improved and he would commit suicide on his seventieth birthday;
A girl in her twenties, with family trauma and drinking problems, has been frustrated repeatedly in love.
At the same time, there is a fifth person in the book who asks for help, and that is the therapist himself. She is a single working mother. I was lovelorn in my forties and almost collapsed. A friend said to her, "Maybe you should talk to someone," so she found herself a therapist. When she switched to the visitor's position and sat on another therapist's sofa complaining about her inner fragility and sadness, she could feel why psychotherapy has the power to heal and change.
This book shows the process of psychotherapy from the dual perspectives of therapists and visitors, and makes us find that no matter how different the identity background is, the troubles faced by human beings are actually the same-love and being loved, regret, choice, control, uncertainty and death, which are all problems that we must face and study together as human beings. All the pains and difficulties we encounter in real life can be heard in this book and hope can be found.

"The crux of your sadness is something more important."
#
No one can escape the pain, but at least you can find someone to talk to, talk about the real you, and talk about those seemingly unsolvable difficulties. When you face pain, you will find that all difficulties actually have a way out. Speaking out is the best treatment-the miracle of psychological counseling, and that's how it happened.

Parents may be jealous of their children, and an environment full of encouragement and acceptance can really make people grow up. # Two notes full of tears
#
People are eager to be understood and to understand others. So what is more romantic is "I know you".
Breaking up is like losing peace. You have lost not only one person, but also your lost time, company, jokes and metaphors, as well as memories belonging to both of you.
Divorce is not only the loss of a partner, but also psychological failure, rejection, betrayal and unknown. What hurts more is the life track that runs counter to one's expectations and the loss of enthusiasm for getting to know people again.
These feelings have to start from accepting themselves before they can come out.
Oh, my God!

That day has finally arrived.
When the plane landed, the crew said, welcome to Holland.
You will be surprised and angry. I think Holland is a dirty, terrible and disgusting place.
But you still have to get off the plane to buy a new guidebook, a new language and meet people you didn't know before.
But people around you, when going back and forth to Italy, will say: Yes, I went there.
