About this ebook
Dr. Christopher has a very difficult, unique job. He's a psychiatrist who works with superheroes. Some legendary warriors come with baggage and his job is to help 'keep 'em flying.' How are you supposed to save people who are supposed to be saving us? Half-serious, half-dark comedy, 'The Superhero Shrink' is "'The Avengers' Meets 'Ordinary People,'" an honest look at the people behind the masks.

Superhero Shrink - Jackson Allen
My next patient arrived early. He always does.
I space out my sessions. Professional therapists need time to write up notes, chill out and keep composed. These guys always come with baggage. It takes time and effort to help them.

I called through my door. This patient couldn’t fit into my cozy office space, so we held sessions in the waiting room.
