Dog Medicine

Julie Barton is 22 years old when she finds herself paralyzed with anxiety on the floor of her New York kitchen. Her mother helps her pack her bags and takes her back to her family, in Ohio. No one understands what is happening to her, she herself does not recognize herself. The diagnosis falls: it is depression. Then begins a long and painful journey to understand and recover her health... Psychoanalysts, psychiatrists, parents, all despair of seeing her get out of this state of self-destruction that holds her prisoner. It is the adoption of Bunker, a golden retriever, and the unconditional love that unites her very quickly to the puppy, that will change her destiny, modify her perception of herself and others, and allow her to understand the repressed cause of her malaise. A moving testimony, which delves into the prevalence of childhood trauma, demonstrates the need for forgiveness and the ability of humans to overcome the most difficult trials. A text full of hope, which depicts the fierce fight of a young woman to live. Presentation: Softcover, paperback
