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

7 reviews

hannahgunther's review against another edition

Gottlieb crafts a raw, real, and personal narrative that answers the question: what does it mean to be human? However, her frequent use of lewd, vulgar language and often "TMI" anecdotes made me put the book down.

emotional hopeful informative reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

I had heard that this book was good, but I didn't realize how good it was.  It's more than a memoir.  In the book, the author explains her issues and how she worked them out during therapy and her patients' therapies.  She also introduces many psychology concepts in a much more interesting way than a Psychology 101 class.  Be warned:  the terminally ill young woman she works with until her death is life-affirming and heartbreaking.
