Call Me Crazy

<p><b>Gaslighting. Imposter syndrome. Toxic relationships. </b><br><br>We know these phases and what they <i>feel </i>like, but the world of psychology hasn’t taken them seriously – until now. In <i>Call Me Crazy</i>, psychoanalyst and Columbia University professor Dr Gila Ashtor offers the first major exploration of these hot topic emotional issues - plus empty consent, crazy girlfriend and autopilot – modern anxieties she calls ‘feeling disorders’.<br><br>Much like eating disorders, these interconnected issues disproportionately affect women and stem from an often-hidden truth—that our feelings can, and do, lie to us. Blending neurobiology with powerful storytelling, each issue is explored through the lens of Dr. Ashtor’s work with a particular patient, with the author providing a clear pathway to recognize, tackle and heal from it.<br><br>Destined to do for our emotions what Bessel van der Kolk’s <i>The Body Keeps the Score</i> did for trauma, <i>Call Me Crazy</i> provides the vital language we’ve been missing to finally make sense of our feelings, and is a smart, actionable roadmap to breaking free from toxic cycles.</p>
