You Don’t Understand Me – a Psychologist’s Guide to Life

Dr Tara Porter In Conversation With Julia Samuel

‘If God were a mother, this is the Bible she would write for teenage girls and young women’ (Caitlin Moran).

For girls and young women these are shifting times: never before have they had so much freedom and choice; but never before have they had so many demands placed upon them – by themselves as well as others.

It should come as no surprise, then, that You Don’t Understand Me, Dr Tara Porter’s new guide to life for girls and young women, is already a Sunday Times bestseller.

In this livestream, In Conversation event with psychotherapist and author Julia Samuel, Tara will pull together everything she has learnt to provide accessible explanations and suggestions for teenagers and young women everywhere on topics including exams, friendship, families and love.

Like a wise friend or big sister, Tara not only understands a young woman’s perspective but will guide them through the challenges they face. And in the process of helping young women to grow in self-knowledge, she will also provide an indispensable guide to their parents: a glimpse behind the rolled eyes and the protestations their daughter makes: ‘You Don’t Understand Me’.
