Who You Calling' Crazy: The Journey from Stigma to Therapy - Paperback

by Juliet Lam Kushnle (Author)

"Hi, my name is Juliet and I'm a therapist who goes to therapy."

This is THE book that finally peels back the curtain, mystery, and stigma around supporting your mental health journey!

From this first line on, Who You Callin' Crazy?! is honest, real, and relatable. Juliet, founder and owner of Sun Counseling and Wellness and practicing therapist for over a decade, is on a mission to end the stigma around therapy and to normalize and elevate the dialogue around mental health. Inspired by the collective experience we all had during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic, she wrote this book to make our understanding and ownership of how we struggle more than just a moment, but a movement: a movement to support each other in feeling less shame and judgment, and find pathways to more healing, growth, and balance. This is an easy to follow reference guide of sorts with helpful scripts and understandable takeaways. Juliet has organized the book into three parts and encourages readers to jump in wherever they are on their mental health journey:

• Part 1: Who You Callin' Crazy?!
• Unpacking myths and misconceptions about mental health, understanding its stigma, and claiming-or reclaiming-what mental health means to you.
• Part 2: Maybe I Should Go To Therapy
• Answering common questions about therapy and seeking support, like what therapy actually is, what are the common misconceptions, how to know it's time to go to therapy, how to find a therapist, how to know a therapist is a good fit, how to break up with a therapist, and much more.
• Part 3: Yep, I Go To Therapy
• A deeper dive into practical tips and takeaways for improving self-awareness; a little taste of therapy, if you will, that you can take back to your own therapist.
