The Angry Therapist by John Kim

The Angry Therapist by John Kim

Tackling relationships, career, and family issues, John Kim, LMFT, thinks of himself as a life-style designer, not a therapist. His radical new approach, that he sometimes calls "self-help in a shot glass" is easy, real, and to the point. He helps people make changes to their lives so that personal growth happens organically, just by living.
 
Let's face it, therapy is a luxury. Few of us have the time or money to devote to going to an office every week. With anecdotes illustrating principles in action (in relatable and sometimes irreverent fashion) and stand-alone practices and exercises, Kim gives readers the tools and directions to focus on what's right with them instead of what's wrong.
 
When John Kim was going through the end of a relationship, he began blogging as The Angry Therapist, documenting his personal journey post-divorce. Traditional therapists avoid transparency, but Kim preferred the language of "me too" as opposed to "you should." He blogged about his own shortcomings, revelations, views on relationships, and the world. He spoke a different therapeutic language --open, raw, and at times subversive -- and people responded. The Angry Therapist blog, that inspired this book, has been featured in The Atlantic Monthly and on NPR.

The Angry Therapist is the name of John Kim's blog. He treats his many customers with complete honesty and candor, which is frowned upon in the clinical world, and he is always looking for new and unconventional ways to help people. He founded the Catalyst Life Coaching Course, an online life coaching certification program, and he recently launched SHFT, an app that provides people with help when they need it and the opportunity to become a life coach. John Kim lives in Los Angeles, where he makes movies on his phone, CrossFits, and does sessions at coffee shops on his motorcycle.
