This is a beginner's guide, using manga and charming illustrations to illuminate how interpersonal relationships have a strong effect on our mental well-being. The author, Tenten Hosokawa, is a cartoonist and also the self-proclaimed "Queen of Negative Thoughts." One day she visits a psychiatrist, Dr. Hiroko Mizushima and begins a journey of self-discovery. Dr. Mizushima is a leader in the field of interpersonal psychotherapy, a practice that focuses on the interpersonal relationships closest to us as a way to improving our mental health. Join them on their journey of growth, learning and self-acceptance. To put it simply, we, as humans, are hugely impacted by the interpersonal relationships closest to us. Our self-awareness of who we are is cultivated by the relationships we have with the people around us.Decrease the stress you receive from interpersonal relationships and increase the power you receive from interpersonal relationships.
