Episode Details

A lot of therapists I talk to dream of the day they publish a book, and some of us already have one written and sitting on our laptops. I’ll admit I have a couple of my own. Getting that book out into the world is a whole different story, and I learned that the hard way.

In this episode of The Traveling Therapist Podcast, Charity O’Reilly is back to talk about life after her sabbatical in Europe. It sparked a new workshop for therapists who want to write books. She has published two mental health books, one that won awards and one that became a bestseller. She’s really honest about the side of publishing nobody warns therapists about, and about how that world was never built with us in mind.

In This Episode, We Explore…

• What all that rest on sabbatical opened up for Charity creatively.
• The one thing she wants every therapist to hear before they publish a book.
• The trade-offs between traditional and self-publishing, and the math most of us would rather avoid.
• Why nonfiction and fiction take completely different paths to a publisher.
• What it was like co-writing a bestseller with her husband, Tom.
