I Left Myself on Read
€11.00
A novel about therapy, relationships, and growing up
How do you end up leaving yourself on “read”?
Much more easily than we think.
Every time we overlook a need, every time we don’t express what we feel or fail to recognise our own
emotions, something inside us is left suspended. A message is opened but never answered.
Something remains unsaid.
Something is ignored.
Something waits.
Perhaps… ourselves.
The printed edition is available only in Greek.

Description
About the story
Giorgos and Dimitra are introduced to us through their personal experiences, guiding us along a deeply
human journey of self-discovery. Through their feelings and their stories, the psychotherapeutic process
is revealed as a path of understanding, connection, and emotional maturity.
Relationships, therapy, trauma, a dog, a cat, and a dolphin coexist in a narrative that illuminates the
complementarity of human beings and the constant effort not to leave ourselves on “read.”
