"We need to read stories about folks who have been through hell and kept going... Fascinating." — Glennon Doyle, A Favorite Book of 2020 on Good Morning America

"Gildiner is nothing short of masterful—as both a therapist and writer. In these pages, she has gorgeously captured both the privilege of being given access to the inner chambers of people's lives, and the meaning that comes from watching them grow into the selves they were meant to be." — Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

In this fascinating narrative, therapist Catherine Gildiner presents five of her most heroic and memorable patients. Among them: a successful Chinese immigrant musician struggling with sexual dysfunction; a young woman abandoned by her father with her siblings in a freezing cottage; and a glamorous workaholic haunted by her mother’s daily greeting, “Good morning, Monster.”

Each patient’s story unfolds like a mystery, revealing deep-seated wounds and powerful journeys of healing. Gildiner’s compassionate storytelling captures resilience, courage, and forgiveness as her patients face the truth and transform their lives.

Good Morning, Monster offers a moving, insightful, and sometimes humorous behind-the-scenes look at the therapeutic process, showing how even the deepest pain can lead to profound growth and recovery.
