Overview
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is Lori Gottlieb's candid, funny, and deeply moving memoir about life on both sides of the therapy couch. A practising psychotherapist, Gottlieb turns the lens on herself after a sudden breakup sends her reeling into her own therapist's office. Weaving together her patients' stories with her own therapy sessions, she crafts a book that is equal parts memoir, case study, and love letter to the messy, hopeful business of being human.

About the Book
When a painful breakup throws psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb's own life into chaos, she does what she encourages her patients to do: she goes to therapy. Enter Wendell, an unconventional therapist whose sessions with Gottlieb prove quietly transformative. As she sits with her own vulnerability, Gottlieb also takes readers deep into the lives of four of her patients: a self-absorbed Hollywood producer convinced everyone around him is an idiot, a young newlywed given a devastating terminal diagnosis, a senior citizen who feels she has nothing left to live for, and a twenty-something who keeps sabotaging her own chance at happiness with the wrong men. As their sessions unfold, Gottlieb realises the questions her patients bring to her are the very questions she is bringing to Wendell. Funny, wise, and unflinchingly honest, the book pulls back the curtain on the therapy room, revealing how universal our struggles with love, loss, meaning, and change really are. It has become a word-of-mouth bestseller, praised for its blend of clinical insight and genuine warmth, and has since been adapted for television.
