Publisher Description
Ever wonder what your therapist is really thinking? Now you can find out … a hilarious, thought-provoking and surprising new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world.
Meet Lori Gottlieb, an insightful and compassionate therapist whose clients present with all kinds of problems. There’s the struggling new parents; the older woman who feels she has nothing to live for; the self-destructive young alcoholic; and the terminally ill 35-year-old newlywed. And there’s John, a narcissistic television producer, who frankly just seems to be a bit of a jerk. Over the course of a year, they all make progress.
But Gottlieb is not just a therapist – she’s also a patient who's on a journey of her own. Interspersed with the stories of her clients are her own therapy sessions, as Gottlieb goes in search of the hidden roots of a devastating and life-changing event.
Personal, revealing, funny and wise, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone opens a rare window onto a world that is most often bound by secrecy, offering an illuminating tour of a profoundly private process.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
It would be the perfect premise for a TV show: A therapist in Los Angeles grapples with her clients’ problems, but her own life is falling apart—so she goes into therapy. But Maybe You Should Talk to Someone isn’t fiction—it’s an entertaining, approachable wise memoir by psychologist Lori Gottlieb. Her book goes behind the scenes to explore what actually happens in therapy and how people start to heal in real life. Never shying away from the uncomfortable truth of our messy emotional lives, first and foremost her own, Gottlieb uncovers something precious: hope.

Loved it
The perfect audio book
Really Enjoyable
I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book, as therapy is not a subject I have any interest in. It made me laugh and cry and I highly recommend it. Narration was also wonderful.
Really wanted to enjoy this but...
I couldn’t deal with the voice... too fast and robotic sounding.
