SynopsisĬhristie Tate had just been named the top student in her law school class and finally had her eating disorder under control. I didn't know it then, but it was going to take away a lot of the shame.Today I am sharing my review of Group: How one therapist and a circle of strangers saved my life by Christie Tate. The invitation to share was going to lessen it.
I felt so resistant and I knew that resistance would be so important to break through. I never told anybody what I ate, how much, at what time and what speed. "I was invited to share what I had eaten the day before with my group. "The first moment I did something radical for myself was when I showed other people my mess and the things I worked so hard to hide," said Tate. The author knew she was going to go somewhere different in her life, but she didn't know where that would be.
While Tate was scared when she first started group therapy, she was also excited that she was taking a new action. It's like the same feeling you get when you get on a rollercoaster and the safety bar comes down and it's too late to get out." I remember the physical feeling of tremors in my belly. I was willing to do it because I was in that much pain. "Luckily someone suggested her therapist and people suggested therapy to me before, but therapy is expensive and time consuming and it's scary. "I couldn't do it on my own and I didn't know what to do," said Tate, in an interview with CBS Local's DJ Sixsmith. The author documents how group therapy changed her life in her new Simon & Schuster book " Group: How One Therapist And A Circle Of Strangers Saved My Life." The disparity between Tate's personal life and professional life led her to seek guidance and that's how she ended up in group therapy. Tate was lost when it came to building friendships and romantic relationships and she had a revelation that she was going to have a great career and no one to share it with.
