I liked what I read, but I just couldn't get through it. I never wanted to pick it up.
Loved this. Author depicts the humanity in all of us, with lightheartedness (where appropriate) and compassion. Most impressive is the way she weaves each person’s story together, evidencing the role connectedness plays in determining who we are and how we live.

I really enjoyed this! Even more so now that I'm back in direct practice. It really highlighted a lot of what I love about being a therapist.
beautiful. engrossed me. literally could not put it down.
i think i’m grappling with a lot of my feelings with therapy / therapists as i read this. will therapy for me ever end? that’s the “end goal,” right, but is that even possible? am i “high functioning”? how does my therapist actually perceive me? (am i as self aware as i want to be?)
it’s certainly not a perfect book, but it’s honest. and compassionate. and that’s everything to me. (i teared up a few times.)

I like this one far more than I thought I would. I identified with her middle age concerns and appreciated the interspersed stories of her work as a therapist and psych theory.
One of the most beautiful, funny, interesting, thought provoking memoirs I've ever read. Gottlieb's candor and general approach to examining her life and the lives of those around her and the complexities of how we make sense of one another is amazing. This one's going on the keep forever shelf.

Great at first. I loved the author’s voice. Was very interesting to learn what goes through the minds of therapists and learn about different concepts, theories and strategies that they use with patients. But I had a hard time staying attached about 60% in.
4.5 stars. I liked this more than I thought I would, primarily for the ways it illustrated the mechanics of therapy, which was fascinating. Well-written and we’ll-observed.
