“One occupational hazard of being a psychotherapist is to rely too heavily on the question of ‘Why?’ Katie Krimer points out how our thoughts, among the most ephemeral of all phenomena, have a disproportionate gravitational pull on our experience of ourselves in the world. She offers alternative and practical suggestions to chip away at these persistent, limiting, and destructive thoughts, mercifully delivered in an easy-to-swallow manner. (I just wish I knew what sh*t meant…).”

“Katie Krimer would be the first to say that she didn’t ‘invent’ many of the ideas in her book, but might have to follow some of her own principles to admit what will be obvious to any reader: She is a wonderful writer with a lucid style and the ability to synthesize numerous concepts to make eradicating negative self-talk an approachable, practical, enjoyable, nuanced, and non-corny enterprise!”
