Book 34 - I'm a Therapist, and My Patient is Going to be the Next School Shooter: 6 Patient Files That Will Keep You Up At Night by "Dr Harper"

Reading date - November 2020

This was a strange book.  I can't describe it more than that, it seems to gloss over very serious mental health issues for the sake of making a story up.

It starts with the therapist speaking to a boy at the school where he works, the boy goes on a rampage with another boy but is stopped by the therapist before he manages to do any damage..and then we find that the girl he likes has shot both him and his friend.

Then it lurches to a story of a boy who is burning his own groin with fags because he is gay and doesn't know how the process the thoughts he is having about another boy at his choir practice.  We find out that the burner boy (eh? eh?) is actually the therapist.

There are a few other stories which are so strange that you know they're made up. It fucks with your head which isn't what you need when you've been forced into a second lockdown, even though I read this the week before the second lockdown was enforced (November 5 2020).

I wouldn't suggest you run out and read it.
