Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed by Lori Gottlieb

emotional hopeful informative lighthearted medium-paced

5.0

What en excellent book. I’m struck by how good the writing is: witty and entertaining but not shying away from hard truths or nerdy topics. She beautifully layers in her experiences with that of her patients, showing me that while each of us have our unique struggles, there are certain universal experiences that bind humanity. I’m glad I read this book after I spent 3 years in therapy, and not before. The background knowledge of how therapy happens would probably have distracted me. Now, however, this knowledge has deepened my appreciation for my therapist, and for myself and the hard work I did in therapy.
