Summary
Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the closed door of the therapist's office? What's revealed there may surprise you.
Psychotherapist Josh Fletcher takes us on a candid and human journey into the individual sessions of four patients - Levi, Zahra, Noah and Daphne - sharing their self-discovery and recovery as they engage in therapy for the first time. And he lets us into the inner thoughts of a therapist, from shock and sympathy while in session, to how it feels to run into a former client on a messy night out.
Interspersed with straight-talking advice on common issues such as anxiety, OCD and panic attacks, as well as a therapist's guide to how to find the right therapist, And How Does That Make You Feel? is darkly funny, illuminating and full of promise that a better future is always possible.
It's everything you wanted to know about therapy (and quite a few things you probably didn't).

Beautiful!
A really engaging book, it was fascinating to consider how both therapist and client "feel", and how I felt listening. A real mix of funny, moving, dark and relatable. Brilliant!

Compulsive listening
I came to this book after reading a glowing review in (I think) the Times and was not disappointed. Written in an engaging yet respectful style, it interweaves a number of therapeutic cases which all in their various ways resolve in satisfying (if not necessarily neat) conclusions. The big question hovering over all this is the process of anonymisation and whether - in the act of concealing (or “scrambling” as the author puts it) the identities of the clients - the details have been changed so much as to render them semi-fictional: for instance if one of the clients really was an A list actor doing a show in Manchester in the past few years then it would be incredibly simple to figure out who this was. Which prompts the question - was she actually an actor or some other figure in the public eye? Has (for instance) the gender been changed? And so on. So I would like to have understood more the principles of this “scrambling”. I’d also be fascinated to know whether the subjects were consulted in advance about their cases being reworked, as presumably they would be able to recognise themselves even in an anonymised form. None of this detracts from the book: Joshua Fletcher inspires confidence as a narrator, and it would be impossible to tell the story of these cases if they weren’t altered. But a little more insight into that process would have been enlightening. Anyhow. I found it hard to stop listening and in the end found myself rationing the book so I didn’t finish it too soon. What better recommendation could there be than that?

Great book, funny, interesting - and eye opening
I bought this book after seeing a friend post about it on social media. I really enjoyed it - it’s a great insight into the value of therapy, told in a way that is accessible, relatable, funny and entertaining. Thoroughly recommended.

a must read for therapists in training and anyone who thought therapists were not human!
i have started my journey as a therapist after years of being on the other side (helpee) and this book was so refreshing and reassuring. we are all human and it's a relief to hear that therapists are too. After years of trying to "suss" Counsellors out, thinking "how can you be so neutral and together when I am falling apart!?" I now have a much better understanding of who they really are and how they really feel - exactly like the rest of us, just very well trained in the art of helping. This book has helped me reaffirm my trust that I am on the right path, that it's ok to be a slightly broken person when helping others - it makes you more empathic and understanding. Thank you Josh for your contribution and for helping me along the way to achieving my goal.

Everyone should read this book!
A funny and beautifully written account of some of Joshua’s experiences as a therapist , and an honest and sometimes raw account of the thoughts and feelings he has experienced. What an inspiring young man. Please write another book soon!

Touching and compassionate
Joshua Fletcher’s first book, PANICKING ABOUT PANIC, changed my life. Truly enlightening. In this book, Josh explains anxiety and its many manifestations in a methodical, logical, yet accessible, manner and provides us with the tools to shift our perception of and behaviour towards anxiety.
PRACTICAL ABOUT PANIC and UNTANGLE YOUR ANXIETY are amazing supplements to put the concepts into practice.
But, after more than 20 years of fighting anxiety alone, it was Josh’s DISORDERED podcast, co-hosted by Drew Linsata, and their army of listeners, that touched me emotionally. You listen (avidly), you relate (often), you cry (sometimes), you laugh (a lot) - and you do it anyway.
….. AND HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL? has it all. It is simply “un-put-down-able” entertaining, and psychoeducational. Read with or without background knowledge of Josh’s work, it is a deeply touching and compassionate piece.
Josh, thank you for sharing.

Insightful, a good insight into the kind of a therapist…. With oodles of humour!
Loved that it is read by the author. Provides great reminders for qualified therapist and super insights for those in training or for anyone wondering what therapy is about and how the therapist works.
Josh’s honesty, vulnerability and use of appropriate humour make it capturing from start to finish.

A lifeline!
My doctor recommended that I read Josh’s first book. It really resonated with me and I found it far more insightful than any other book around anxiety. (I am well read!) I loved this audio book too. I think the fact that Josh reads it enhances the overall messages that he is communicating. For me, the content resonates with me because I really sense that Josh has been through hard times and come out the other side. The book is a bit like therapy itself to be honest. I have started to follow Josh on social media and have a sense of who he is and what he does. Listening to the audio book was at times like getting sound advice from a good friend! Well worth the read/listen! (I have a paper copy too!)
