Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb
4.0
This was a wonderfully written book. It is a non-fiction book, but reads like a novel. The concept of a therapist and her journey with her own therapy helps take away the stigma of therapy. I got quite a few nuggets that I will keep with me, like the importance of the difference between privacy and secrecy (which sounds simple, but is not) and this quote:
"We talk to ourselves more than we'll talk to any other person over the course of our lives but our words aren't always kind or true or helpful - or even respectful. Most of what we say to ourselves we'd never say to people we love or care about, like our friends or children. In therapy we learn to pay close attention to those voices in our heads so that we can learn a better way to communicate with ourselves."
