"Kay Hutchison had a successful career, a beautiful home, and a loving husband until the day she woke up and said ‘I’m leaving’. Why on earth did she walk away from it all and turn to a host of weird and wonderful treatment in search of answers to a question she couldn’t even articulate? Part memoir, part guide, this is Kay’s journey of self discovery as she faces up to her darkest moments via homeopathy, astrology, silent retreats and reiki, whilst also dabbling in past-life regression, sonic therapy, shamanic retreats and many more along the way. My Life in Thirty-Seven Therapies is the frank, funny, moving and ultimately uplifting story of one woman’s pursuit of happiness and inner peace."
I'm really looking forward to reading this book.

I did thoroughly enjoy this but I was left wanting a little but more. Felt like it was a little surface level.

I quite enjoyed reading this book - i could relate to a lot of it from my own experiences and felt i wasnt alone. Worth reading.

I received this book complimentary from NetGalley but all opinions are my own.

I just couldn’t get into this. I didn’t get how the author just jumped ship on her life. It isn’t bad writing or anything but I just couldn’t get into it.

The book had some wonderful details, and I think one of the therapies she tried, writing, really paid off. Some of her actions were surprising: such as deciding to leave her husband during a carefully planned, seemingly fun vacation.While other circumstances, falling in love with a man she later found out was married, would have been something most of us would have grappled with. Finding a good therapist, and the several she tried, accounted for a pretty fair chunk of the book, but there was also the unexpected such as psychic phone calls.

Overall, I enjoyed reading about the author, Kay Hutchison's experiences, and I might even want to try a few of the therapies myself!

This book catalogued a journey the author made through a variety of therapies to try and get her life in order. She tried some mainstream, some holistic, and other types of therapies in her journey. While there were some funny and moving movements, parts of this book seemed repetitive. It was definitely an interesting primer on therapies that people have tried.

I liked the book. It’s not about the typical midlife crisis for moms and raising kids (I read a couple of those kinds of memoirs, such as I miss you when I blink). This is Kay in her struggles with work conflicts, owning her achievements, being a feminist, and coming to terms with not wanting children and out of her marriage. With depression and midlife, the divorce but remaining friends and eventual business partners with her ex husband, and meeting the ideal man, all of her therapies were experiences along the journey. I thought some therapies seemed interesting and credible. While some didn’t work for her, she could have called out each as a hoax. Only once or twice did she truly raised her eyebrows in disbelief... I agree with other reviewers that the organization of the chapters seemed to jump around without chronological or some sense of order. For some therapies, they were quick references without stories so those feel dry to read through though they were short and I’m glad they were included, to get the full sense of what’s out there. Could be better edited and overall an interesting person and read.

This book tells about a woman's struggle to deal with midlife crisis, through a variety of different therapies. These range from meditation and neuro-linguistic programming to other, weirder programs, such as voodoo and sonic therapy. Throughout the book, the author tries to connect with her past and seeks to solve present uncertainties through the therapies. A glossary of the therapies helps readers by providing short descriptions of the therapies, as the chapters discuss the personal experiences with them. This book contains some humor, as the author tries to remain open-minded about each of the programs. In the final chapter, she digresses into feminist rhetoric, which did not seem to fit the rest of the book.

For me, this book became extremely tiresome, and seemed self-centered. This book is definitely "all about me." It was not what I expected, and the chronology made it difficult to follow as it seemed to skip around a lot. It sadly missed the mark for me. Readers should also be aware of the use of profanity throughout the book.

I received this book from the publisher and from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions expressed here are entirely my own.

This book provides an interesting overview of the author's life and the various therapies she tried as she coped with some very big changes in her life. I enjoyed reading about the different approaches she delved into because it provided a smorgasbord of therapies that address different parts of her life. I know that various therapies help people & this gives an overview of how they did or didn't help the author. Hutchison had an interesting approach & I was glad to read about her experience.

Kay Hutchinson is an excellent writer. In fact, I would venture to say that this might be a better memoir than Eat, Pray, Love in that it reads as a more honest portrayal of a life. Jennifer Egan complained in her review of the latter that this honesty was missing, and I can't help but think that she might appreciate Thirty Seven Therapies all the more.

I wish Hutchinson, and most of us didn't feel that we needed a life partner to be complete, but I get it.

Hutchinson touches upon the fact that these therapies were quite costly, but I wish she had addressed her privilege as a middle-(or higher)-class individual who could afford to dabble in these various therapies.

That said though, it was fun to vicariously experience therapies that I had never heard of, through Hutchinson, and at no cost.

This is a fun, quick read, that I would recommend that people gift to the women in their lives.

Thank you to NetGalley, Belle Media, and the author for the ARC of My Life in Thirty Seven Therapies.

This was a quick and engrossing memoir about mental health and the varied options for help and therapy. I was a bit disappointed in the book as my expectations were that the author would delve deeper into the 37 therapies she tried--but the book was more a memoir than the exploration in detail of the therapies.

I reluctantly gave the book two stars. I have respect for all writers in all formats of writing but even more so for writers that write about their own truth and experiences.--but this book was just a bit of a miss for me.

This book left much to be desired. The title felt a little misleading, as I thought the book would be more organized based on the therapy types. However, the therapies are intermixed throughout the book, which leads to a disorganized feel. I also did not connect with the writing, and struggled to understand why the author felt the need to try so many different therapy styles. I think this book had so much potential, but it's disorganization and lack of focus led to a lackluster story.

I found this a very sad book. Kay ,obviously has enough money to pay for all these therapies in her quest for happiness but doesn’t seem to get much out of any of them. It seemed she had walked away from her marriage and life and fallen down a hole of unhappiness. I am interested in therapies but it seemed there is a huge industry of charlatans ready to relieve you of your cash in the quest for so called enlightenment. Kay’s busy life made me feel anxious! Maybe a simpler approach would be as fulfilling. Thanks to Netgalley for the chance to read this .

I really struggled with this book. There were a few parts that were interesting, but the book jumped all over the place, with no clear timelines of when anything was happening. And the author seemed so upset about problems that were so minor. It made the book feel a little bit melodramatic. Also, I was disappointed that the author didn't share more about how the therapies did or didn't help her.

My Life in Thirty Seven Therapies does indeed take the reader through the author's spiritual journey from one self-improvement phase to the next.. Written with self-deprecating humor, this book enlightens the reader about the finer points of each modality. Mid-life crisis, post-divorce, post-breakup, and job issues...none of these issues seem to call for the level of angst the author experiences, but she certainly does make an effort to acheive enlightenment.

Kay Hutchinson has certainly lived a very full and interesting life. From the description, I thought this book was going to be something very different. As someone who has also tried some therapies, I was looking forward to hearing more about the therapies.

I thought this memoir sounded fun and would have some insightful anecdotes... but to be honest I found the book dull and unmemorable. I think if the memoir aspect had felt easier to follow (in terms of chronological time) that would have helped. I had no gauge really of when different therapies were occurring and to what reason at that particular time.
Sadly, I did not enjoy this book, but it did make me think I'd really like to go on a yoga retreat one time in my life, that's about it though.

I am obsessed with all things therapy - and self help. If it promises it can help me I am down to try it. The problem? I do not commit to it. The good thing about this book? It is like a cheat sheet for everything out there with a genuine honest opinion. THANK YOU! I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

When I decided to read this book it wasn't what I expected, I thought it would be a step by step description of each therapy session and how these impacted her life. Instead it was a book of self love and discovery (with many a yoga retreat). It made me consider my own life choices and decisions and to reflect on things more than what I would before. I would recommend this book to people who like to read self help books but don't like a step by step guide as this is the book you need in your life!

Thank you for the opportunity to read Kay Hutchison's 'My Life in Thirty Seven Therapies'. While I am familiar with some of the therapies Kay described there were many others that I had little knowledge of had not heard of. It was interesting to learn about them but it did get to the point where I felt like she was just trying treatments out in order to write a book.
