Maybe You Should Talk to Someone
A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
About the book
Lori Gottlieb, a psychotherapist with a practice in Los Angeles, describes the period when a crisis brought her own world down and she became a patient herself. After her boyfriend ended their relationship, friends urged her to see a therapist, and she began sessions with a man named Wendell. Alongside that story she follows four of her patients: a Hollywood producer absorbed in himself, a newlywed facing a terminal diagnosis, a woman turning seventy who says she will end her life if nothing improves, and a woman in her twenties who keeps choosing the wrong men. Their questions turn out to be the ones she is bringing to Wendell. The memoir was published in 2019.
Arianna Huffington endorsed it, praising Gottlieb for exposing her own blind spots alongside her patients' and for showing readers they are not alone in their struggles.

This is a daring, delightful, and transformative book. Lori Gottlieb takes us inside the most intimate of encounters as both clinician and patient and leaves us with a surprisingly fresh understanding of ourselves, one another, and the human condition. Her willingness to expose her own blind spots along with her patients’ shows us firsthand that we aren’t alone in our struggles and that maybe we should talk more about them! Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is funny, hopeful, wise, and engrossing—all at the same time.
