Publisher's Summary

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.

Rich & Beautiful

I loved this book. Educational for an aspiring therapist like me, but so human and real. The stories melt your heart. I laughed, cried, looked into each character and into myself. I will read this over and over I suspect and get new insight every time.

Absolutely amazing , interesting , heartfelt and sometimes confronting!

I listened to this book at every opportunity ! Sometimes for a few minutes depending on my child or dog or partners needs and sometimes for hours! I didn’t want it to end! For someone who has done therapy on and off for 12 years and has contemplated as a career at times it resonated on so many levels !! I cried and I laughed! But mostly it had me confronting some of my own life with a few penny dropping thought provoking , confronting moments . I highly recommend this to anyone who is looking to understand themselves and how they relate to the world !

I felt Loris passion in my heart

A beautiful read that I look forward to reading again in the future. Reminded me of my appreciation for my psychologist. Inspired to thank him next time I see him, for his dedicated work with me. Also assisted with my daily journaling!
