Christie Tate’s non-fiction catalog consists of two memoirs that explore different aspects of human connection. Group: How One Therapist and a Circle of Strangers Saved My Life (2020) recounts her years in group psychotherapy and how the experience changed her life. It became a New York Times bestseller and resonated with readers who recognized their own struggles with intimacy and trust.
B.F.F.: A Memoir of Friendship Lost and Found (2023) shifts focus to platonic relationships. Tate examines the friendships she has lost, damaged, and rebuilt, asking why adult friendships are so hard to maintain and so rarely discussed with the same seriousness as romantic ones.
