Overview

Therapists are human too. They cry in the shower, spiral at 2 a.m., and occasionally eat an entire bag of chips while rewatching the same comfort show-just like everyone else. In Therapized, Anne Petraro-a licensed therapist, educator, and unapologetic dog mom-opens up not just as a professional, but as a person who's lived through trauma, healing, and everything in between (with snacks in her pocket and dog hair on her clothes). Part memoir, part guided journal, this book invites you into the real, raw, and sometimes ridiculous process of being human. Through deeply personal stories and powerful journaling prompts, Anne helps you stop striving to be ""fixed"" and start accepting what it means to be fully, beautifully, imperfectly real. You'll laugh, cry, maybe throw the book across the room-but most importantly, you'll feel seen. Not as a diagnosis or a label, but as someone deeply worthy of healing and joy. Written with heart, grit, and enough dog hair to knit a sweater, Therapized is for the over-thinkers, the people-pleasers, the trauma survivors, and the ones still trying to make sense of it all. You don't need to have it all together to begin. You just need to show up. Let Therapized be the place you finally do.

Author Information

Anne Petraro is a beautifully imperfect educator, Ph.D., licensed therapist, CEO, volunteer, and freelance artist who illustrated her son's published work and somehow still finds time to eat snacks. She brings both clinical depth and real-life heart to everything she does. With a strong faith in God, a passion for healing, and a sense of humor about this whole being human thing, Anne writes like she lives; vulnerably, loudly, and with lots of dog hair on her clothes. Therapized is her first book, part memoir, part healing guide, all heart. She lives in New York with her son Joseph (the actual best), her husband Ozzie, and their two dogs, one of whom is a rescue, and both of whom fully believe they run the house. She enjoys spending her time being Joe's mom, creating art, and advocating for others so they can eventually find their voice, too.
