We recently received some glowing, pre-release praise for Jill Billeter’s Please Don’t Ask Me Why that we want to share with everyone.
“Self-awareness is a journey. In my research on self-awareness it became clear that there are those rare individuals who are born with a high degree of insight, but the vast majority of us come to it through experience and living. It is a practice. In Please Don’t Ask Me Why, Jill Billeter’s self-awareness journey clearly shines through. She comes to understand herself and others through the patience and insight of one amazing therapist. She moves from darkness, rumination, and constant self-interrogation, to see from different perspectives and angles on not only her own life but on the motivations and behaviors of those around her. In this recounting of her struggles we see the birth of self-awareness and insight and travel with Jill in her newfound abilities to make use of the tools she is given or discovers for herself along the way. Please Don’t Ask Me Why is a book about hope and a companion guide of sorts for self-discovery.” Author Tasha Eurich, Insight
“In Please Don’t Ask Me Why, Jill Billeter leads us through a psychological minefield, an emotionally gripping and brutally honest journey of her own that quickly becomes ours. This can only be accomplished with the skills and courage of a gifted writer. In her memoir, Billeter pulls directly from her own heart and puts it on the page, giving us access to the most deeply private recesses of a young woman’s mind as she navigates the tumultuous terrain of the mental health system. We share her desperation during a seemingly never-ending and exhaustive search for hope and order. And ultimately, we find ourselves cheering for the survival of the human spirit…and for Jill. ” Author Helen Stine, The Truthful Story
