The Book

Kay Hutchison had a successful career, a beautiful home, and a loving husband until the day she woke up and said ‘I’m leaving’. Her book, My Life in 37 Therapies – covers a period of life-change from the moment she left everything behind to start a new life. Her journey of self-discovery led her to try an incredible 37 therapies, from the normal to the extreme. Success isn’t everything and no one knows it better than media professional Kay Hutchison, the author of My Life in 37 Therapies. Recently released with much acclaim in the UK (Red Door Publishing 2019), Hutchison is bringing her poignant, relatable and often funny story to life in an audiobook that will be released on the 3rd March 2020, spoken in her distinctive and appealing Scottish voice.

Part memoir, part guide, My Life in 37 Therapies chronicles Kay’s quest for self-discovery. How she chose to deal with some very dark moments and includes forays into homeopathy, astrology, silent retreats and reiki while also dabbling in past-life regression, sonic therapy, shamanic retreats and other alternative modalities.

Thoughts on the book

Is there anything better than reading a memoir that can guide you through the tough times? We all face uncertainly in our lives, that one thing is certain, but it is how we handle those situations that makes all the difference. Most of us deal with life as it comes at us and learn the skills along the way. But what if you could armor yourself and gain the skills before you need them? I’m not talking about learning to can food in the middle of the apocalypse (although that is a pretty handy skill to have), I’m talking about the ability to mentally navigate the apocalypse without having a nervous breakdown. That is what this book is about. This is an exploration of therapy, trying them out so you don’t have too.

Overall

This is a great book for those of you who are afraid to walk away from a life that no longer serves you. We all experience tough times and sometimes we need to walk away but are too afraid. As someone who has often thrown her hands in the air and walked away from the “comfort” of my life, I can enjoy the book in a way that most people won’t. It is almost like sharing an inside joke with someone who has been there and done it.
