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.

What an absolutely fantastic listen!

I don't usually read or listen to non fiction that much but this book came so highly recommended, that I decided to give it a go. I loved it! I laughed and cried, and some parts felt like it was written especially for me. I learnt so much from this book and relearnt about living once again in the best possible way - by letting go of unnecessary thoughts and things. Great book!

Funny, sad, real

This book caught me off guard. It’s a warmly written, but nonetheless grounded story of human experiences, told from the therapist’s couch. Some of it is extremely sad, although I laughed out loud enough to offset the times it had me sobbing into the washing up. The narrator is also very good - she could have written it herself. One to listen to if you like, or need, a bit of introspection.

Beautiful narration, couldn't stop listening

I really enjoyed this audiobook. The humane stories and gentle narrator's voice were just perfect. It gave me lots to think about and made me emotional more than once. I recommend this to anyone who's been through therapy or is considering it.
