Past tense : facing family secrets and finding myself in therapy

Mardou, 1975-2024
Books, Manuscripts
When Sacha Mardou turned 40 years old, she was leading a life that looked perfect on the outside: happily married to the love of her life, enjoying motherhood and her six-year-old daughter, and her first book had just been published. But for reasons she couldn't explain, the anxiety that had always plagued her only seemed to be getting worse and then, without warning, she began breaking out in terrible acne. The product of a stoic, working-class British family, Sacha had a deeply seeded distrust of mental health treatment, but now, living the life she'd built in the US and desperate for relief, she finds herself in a therapist's office for the first time. 'Past Tense' takes us inside Sacha's therapy sessions, which over time become life-changing.
