Publisher's Summary

Ever wonder what your therapist is really thinking? Now you can find out...a hilarious, thought-provoking and surprising new book that takes us behind the scenes of a therapist's world.  

Meet Lori Gottlieb, an insightful and compassionate therapist whose clients present with all kinds of problems. There’s the struggling new parents; the older woman who feels she has nothing to live for; the self-destructive young alcoholic; and the terminally ill 35-year-old newlywed. 

And there’s John, a narcissistic television producer, who frankly just seems to be a bit of a jerk. Over the course of a year, they all make progress. But Gottlieb is not just a therapist - she’s also a patient who's on a journey of her own. 

Interspersed with the stories of her clients are her own therapy sessions, as Gottlieb goes in search of the hidden roots of a devastating and life-changing event. 

Personal, revealing, funny and wise, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone opens a rare window onto a world that is most often bound by secrecy, offering an illuminating tour of a profoundly private process.

Good Book with terrible narrator

Good that story is very good and keeps you engaged. Narrator is terrible. keeps reminding me of Ross from friends. Giving stress on some words and breaking sentence unnecessarily.

Great insights and wonderfully narrated

The storyline revolves around a Clinical Psychologist (the protagonist) and her therapy sessions with her clients. It also gives us a glimpse into what happens when the tables are turned. We get a closer look at the protagonist's life and all that unfolds when she's in therapy with her therapist. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. The author has done a great job explaining how complex and messy human emotions and relationships can be. Both, internally and externally.

There's a lot to uncover in the book, so I won't get into the details. I'd like to highlight that some chapters can get quite dark and disturbing, while others would feel like a warm hug. But think of it like the author says (I'm paraphrasing here): "A good therapist will make you feel uncomfortable at some point, and if they don't, they just aren't good therapists!" That's also how this book reads. It makes you uncomfortable. But that's not all. It takes you on an emotional rollercoaster in the best way.

Also, the writing is beautiful.❤️ It really made me think and feel deeply, which is exactly the purpose of the book!

The author also addresses some common misconceptions that most people have. Like what most people think therapy is, and what it should look like or feel like vs. what it actually is and isn't, and why. The author lets us into the protagonist's mind as she seeks therapy for the first time ever in her 40s!

Overall, I would totally recommend this book. 💯 It's not only an insightful and entertaining read but is also a great investment in your mental health, especially if you are a therapy-virgin or have just begun therapy, are unable to find the right therapist or are simply interested in psychology.

A glimpse in psychotherapy

Talking to a good psychotherapist really helps. Book is balanced, carries each story till it's termination, character development is subtle well done. Worth listening.
