STOP BLAMING YOUR PARENTS (and others): Confessions of a Hypnotherapist

Front Cover

Anyone But Me: The Emotional Audit You Didn’t Ask For (Inspired by the Muses of Misery)

By Your Friendly Neighbourhood Hypnotherapist

Meet your new life coaches: Socrates, Oprah, Bugs Bunny... and three one-star reviews named Ariel, Vanessa, and Ember—collectively known as The Muses of Misery. Their complaints were so emotionally unhinged they accidentally funded this book. You’re welcome.

Anyone But Me takes a blowtorch to the pity party and delivers a scalding manifesto for anyone still blaming their parents, the planets, or their birth chart for their inability to respond to an email.

This is not your standard healing handbook. A self-help exorcism. Each chapter is a therapy session, stand-up set, and philosophical slap in the face—all designed to make you laugh, cringe, and maybe grow up a little.

If you've ever used "trauma" as an identity or weaponized your inner child to get out of group texts, this book is for you.

And to the Muses of Misery:

You launched your crusade.

But instead of cancellation, you became canon.

Now your receipts are forever—archived online, immortal by incident.
