I’m Going Around the Bend - Are You, Too?

In the morning, Mirjam Indermaur had given her sons the same stereotypical lecture about the fact that a dishwasher does not empty itself and that shoes do not clear away themselves. A few hours later, her priorities shifted radically. Her husband had been diagnosed with cancer. Mirjam Indermaur's emotional world was upside down and she knew that she would not be able to get through this fundamental shock without professional help. Having been suffering from exhaustion depression for a long time anyway, she looked for competent psychotherapeutic support. She found this with Denise Hurlimann, a psychotherapist, with whom she felt cared for from the first moment. After the therapy, Mirjam Indermaur developed the idea of writing a book about the path the two women had taken together. Once she, the patient, would write, then again Denise Hurlimann, the specialist. This is how - in mutual storytelling - a read-along psychotherapy emerged. A book that not only gives a deep insight into the world of psychotherapy, but also helps to develop strategies for surviving difficult times and even to find laughter again..
