There are people who spend their entire lives trying to arrive. Others arrive... yet continue waiting to feel that they truly belong there. Some achievements transform life on the outside, yet fail to convince what exists within. Recognition comes. Responsibilities grow. Results appear. And still, the strange feeling remains that everything could collapse the moment someone discovers there has been a mistake. As though living meant occupying a borrowed place.
Katari is forty-five years old. She has built an admired career, a family, and a solid life story. In the eyes of everyone around her, she occupies exactly the place she earned. In her own eyes, however, she is still trying to prove that she deserves to remain there. When this quiet distance between who she has become and who she believes she is begins to affect her work, her relationships, and the way she sees her own life, she agrees to begin a therapeutic journey.
Over the course of twelve sessions, Katari will discover that perhaps she has never lacked competence, courage, or dedication. Perhaps all she has lacked is an inner place from which she could simply exist without having to prove, once again, that she deserves to be there. This book is a therapeutic work of fiction about the difficult journey between earning a place in the world... and discovering that no one but you can grant yourself permission to remain there.
