I Don't Need Therapy: (and other lies I've told myself)

Description

Most of us tell little white lies all the time. Whether it's 'I'm five minutes away' or 'It must have gone to my spam folder', most of these fibs are harmless. But what if you realised that you weren't just lying about the little things, but the big 'life' stuff too? When Toni Lodge sat down to write this memoir, she discovered that the lies she was telling herself were hiding some pretty important home truths-about her work, her identity and her mental health. Her dogged pursuit of these truths sent her on a brazen exploration of everything from gastro, fame and Twilight to funerals, the Dalai Lama and Brazilian waxes. In this hilarious warm hug of a book, Toni exposes the lies she has told herself about who she is and what she is capable of, inviting you on a riotous romp that will make you laugh, cringe, cry and utterly rethink the truth behind the stories we tell ourselves.

Toni Lodge is a young twenty-something go-getter. A comedian, author and podcaster, she makes up (the better) half of The Toni and Ryan Podcast. Growing up in Perth before moving to the big smoke, she now lives in Melbourne with her boyfriend and French Bulldog Pippa.
