I recommend this book to almost everyone but especially if you have an interest in mental health or if you have ever been through trauma that made you consider therapy. I recommend this to people who work in therapy social work or healthcare. It starts off slow and you may say “why do I care about this” but when the author starts drawing parallels between her experiences with that of her patients and experiences with her therapist it’s very interesting and enlightening.

What a great book! Lori Gottlieb talks about her life, how she became a therapist, and her struggles as well as the life challenges of her patients in such way that we feel like we're reading a novel. So many insights, the kind of book that naturally teaches you so much about psychology and gives you tools to cope with your own struggles without sounding like a "self-help" book. I loved it! ❤️

Did not expect to get so emotionally attached to many of the characters in this book. I cried at the end.

Splendid read, definitely one of my best reads so far. While it most certainly does not paint the whole picture of what therapy is, it was am informative, fun and heartening read.

🎯 I loved learning about the technicalities shown through examples of the patients as well as Lori herself.
🎯 The growth of all the characters, even the worst ones. I celebrated and cried with some (her experience with Julie got my tears flowing).
🎯 Seeing parts of others and myself in the characters made it a good opportunity for reflection.
🎯 It was well-written and personable, there were twists that kept you going
🤔 The bouncing back and forth of characters and timeline got a bit confusing at some points
🤔

It felt like Charlotte didn't really get an ending, like what happened to her and dude?

Overall a great book if you're seeking a (not-so-dry) book to learn more about yourself and have a great insight into therapy.

Essa leitura conversou muito comigo de um jeito que me levou a gatilhos que nem mesmo sabia que poderiam me afetar, mas sobre os quais refleti bastante (e levei a minha própria terapia).
Achei a forma como foi exposto e escrito as histórias e exemplos, foi muito respeitosa e honesta. Acompanhar alguns pacientes em paralelo em como reverbarava na Lori, foi especial, enfim, uma leitura que eu amei muito, apesar de ter sofrido em muitos momentos.
