Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb

4.5

emotional funny hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

---

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.
