Many of those attending are unwiling to talk about their worries to anyone but the therapists, But problems seem torun the gamut from broken relationships, to anxiety about werk and money, to general depression as well as a varity of phobias. Advice tends to be succhet and practical, as suits the format. 5 ‘I'm really unhappy in my job,’ Novac tells therapist bean ones,‘ wish I'd become a painter, but now I feel stuck in ths position | have at a bank.’ ‘Follow your dreams,’ Jones tells fim, Nou may end p poo bu you wont have he ego not doing what you really want to do.’ Jones's advice ha Seer Oiginal, bul Novac says Pet sated. lke his syle = he seemed to understand, and care,’ explains Novae. I'm actually looking for a new therapist, and thisis a great way to try out eight of them in a short time. HE That's actually why many therapists take part in the event, “Jones tells us, This isa great source of new clients, And it's a {good way for me to advertise my new book - I just have it on the table infront of me and refer to it during my sessions.’ Some of those seeking advice aren't entirely happy with the format. ‘People near me can hear what I'm taling the therapist,” remarks Donna Bersch.' feel self-conscious.’ But with the loud buzz in the room that sometimes reaches the level of shouting, it's hard to imagine that anyone could actually eavesdrop on another session. Sometimes, they're lucky to be able to hear the person sitting just opposite them! TA. Read the headline and tick the best summary a), b) orc).
