How I Understand It: A Bad Poet's Guide to Mental Health & Resilience


Overview

What happens when a therapist writes poetry about her own heartbreak, healing, and inner contradictions? You get a book that's part personal reckoning, part emotional survival guide-and, surprisingly, a little funny. How I Understand It is a candid, unconventional collection of poems, reflections, and clinical insights from a therapist who isn't afraid to call out codependency, detail the emotional complexities of grief, or tell imposter syndrome to go f*ck itself. Each chapter explores a universal theme-love, divorce, dating, trauma, forgiveness, grief, motivation-blending raw poetry with therapeutic commentary and journaling prompts that invite readers into their own journey of insight and growth. The book culminates with a guide on how to build your own collection of poetry for resilience, making it a practical therapy tool for anybody looking to upgrade their self-expression repertoire. Whether you're a therapy client, a clinician, or a human navigating the tender terrain of adulthood, this book is here to remind you: your emotions make sense, your perspective is valid, and your story is still being written. This is not your average poetry book. This is not your average self-help book. This is How I Understand It.
