I really enjoyed this book, and of course, I’m obsessed with trying to figure out who John is and what’s the name of his show!

I liked her thoughtfulness and deliberateness with her patients. I liked knowing she is also someone who needs a therapist as well. It’s given me a new lens to look at me in therapist through.

I enjoyed this one a lot! Lori Gottlieb is a great writer and takes the reader into the mind of a therapist who is seeking therapy. My main takeaway was that we need to humanize therapists and not expect them to be these unshakeable pillars that can solve all of our problems. Therapists are people with the same life struggles and also need someone to talk to. This is one of the better memoirs I've read in recent times.

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.
