Publisher's summary

From psychotherapist and TikTok personality Dr. Annie Zimmerman comes a toolkit to transform yourself and your relationships, with advice on how to heal past trauma, build sustainable connections, and take ownership of your mental health.

Every day, psychotherapist Dr. Annie Zimmerman meets clients in her private London practice who are struggling with their lives. They’re committed to achieving personal growth, making changes—but they’re struck at the question stage. They ask her: Why can’t I sleep? Why do I keep going back to a bad relationship? Why did I lose my temper? What is wrong with me?

Here’s the thing: nothing is wrong with them. It’s just that they’re asking themselves the wrong questions.

In Your Pocket Therapist, Dr. Zimmerman helps listeners delve into their past to identify unhelpful old patterns and teach them how to unlock the present. The book combines practical tools with anecdotes gleaned from the therapy room, distilling complex psychological concepts with her signature warmth and empathy. Her belief—galvanized by her hundreds of thousands of followers—is that if we learn to understand the roots of our suffering, we can bring about meaningful—and permanent—change in our lives. It comes down to learning how to ask the right questions.

A brilliant, necessary toolkit for those who want to break free from past patterns and embrace a life of abundant self-awareness and connection, Your Pocket Therapist is an absolute must-read in the field of psychology.

Informative & Thoughtful

I enjoyed how the book is put together, in bite sized sections with characters that are realistic and relatable. It’s easy to follow along with, the author does a great job at highlighting and breaking down key concepts, and is great to listen to as well, I love her accent!

Very helpful!

Loved all the examples, but more so the exercises, pauses and self questions! Also loved the vulnerability of the author and talking through her experiences.

So good, I bought 2 more physical copies!

Her ability to unpack, organize, and covay such complex situations is fantastic. Not too flowery while also not too cerebral. The content is digestible and relatable to anyone who is living and breathing, and I will be recommending this to all of my family and friends. Especially for those who are reluctant to physically start therapy. I loved the audiobook so much, bought a hardback for myself and mailed a softcover to my cousin!

She breaks everything down in the best way

A must read! It’s helping me tremendously after 10 years of being in therapy and still struggling. I bought the hardcover book as well just because I wanted to support. Her voice is so nice.. love the accent!

WOW

Just like the title this is pocket therapy, of course if you can afford one in person do that. But great job by the Author all around. I learnt a lot and this book reinforced things I am aware of and practicing. Very well done.

Thought provoking

Very well written. Thought provoking ideas. Keeps you introspection on your own experiences and beliefs.

It can truly help facilitate your growth and understanding in yourself. It already has for me.

Amazing book-huge breadth of topics

Authors voice and cadence are soothing. Topics and advice are not only helpful but cover a wide breadth of topics. I feel like I just sat down for tea with my wisest friend and left with a fulfilled soul.
