Letters to Gülriz by Dr. Fatma Yeşilyurt
New book — 2026

Letters to Gülriz

Psychotherapy Letters 1

What happens between two people in a therapy room, told the way I know best — in letters. Each letter begins where a real conversation begins: with a person carrying something heavy, and the question of what to do with it.

Written for anyone curious about the inner work of change — clients past and future, students of psychology, and readers who simply like an honest voice. No jargon, no case-study coldness; just the room, opened.

Inside the book

Letters on the work of becoming yourself

letters on beginning

Walking In

On the courage of first sessions — the rehearsed speeches, the car outside the office, and why the messy start is the right one.

letters on the middle

Staying With It

Resistance, grief, the sessions where nothing seems to happen — and the quiet weeks where everything does.

letters on endings

Leaving Well

Good therapy has a purpose, a direction, and eventually, an ending. On carrying the room with you after the last session.

“

A letter is the most honest form I know: one person, writing to one person, with nothing to hide behind.

The storybook series — fifteen books, fifteen values.

Co-authored with an educator between 2016 and 2019, each illustrated storybook is built around one universal value — honesty, patience, generosity, courage — and written to be read aloud, discussed, and argued with.

The series is taught in schools today. Educators can request classroom sets and the companion discussion guides; the 'Teaching values through stories' program builds on the same material.
