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.

Really good read

I overall enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend to friends (this was recommended to me by a friend). Some of the narratives were really enjoyable and thought provoking. I liked the little snippet of insight into the job of a therapist too! I did find a few bits a little slow, but I didn't mind much because it's a good book to enjoy over time rather than rushing through to get to the end.

AMAZING

This has been one of the best books I’ve ever read/listened to. As a trainee counsellor it’s given me a great insight into the world of a therapist and was both touching and funny and had me in tears for some of it! Highly recommended! 10/10

Really enjoyable Book!

I loved the story which kept me hooked. As someone studying counselling, I loved how the counselling tools were incorporated into the story which helped with my learning. The book exceeded my expectations, especially taking into consideration it cost so little!

Brilliant book

I loved this book! The narrator has such a relaxing, calm and warming voice. It was a marvellous insight into therapy from the stance of a therapist. Well worth a listen.

Didn’t want it to end!

I listened to this everywhere I went for days!

As someone that’s had therapy and someone that loves audiobooks - this book has it all. I really warmed to all of her characters and was totally captivated by their stories.

The narration was warm and animated, I don’t have a negative thing to say about this book.
