''Rachel Jepson understands what drives musicians and what destroys them. These stories, interviews and contributions from others in the industry, together with her compassionate voice and gentle, reasoned advice points, make this an invaluable source of reassurance (you are not alone), affirmation (you are not a failure) and practical help and information (your life is not over) for musicians themselves and for the mental health professionals, counsellors and therapists from whom they seek help.''

Catherine Jackson, Editor, Therapy Today

 

 

 

''With this book Rachel has provided essential insight into the mental health concerns surrounding those who work in the music industry. This book is crucial in helping us understand the pressures facing those who are trying to make a living doing what they love.''

Pete Wilson, Guitarist
