Maybe You Should Talk To Someone

NOW BEING DEVELOPED AS A TV SERIES WITH EVA LONGORIA AND ABC! "Wise, warm, smart, and funny. You must read this book." Susan Cain, The New York Times bestselling author of Quiet Psychotherapist and The New York Times bestselling author Lori Gottlieb, takes us behind the scenes of her practice where her patients are looking for answers and so is she. Through this book, with compassion and humor, she invites us into her world as both therapist and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope that is life. As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients' lives – a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better, and a twenty-something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys – she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell, her own therapist. 'Maybe You Should Talk to Someone' offers a rare insight into a profession that is conventionally bound with rules and secrecy. It is also the story of an incredible relationship between two therapists, and a funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious inner lives, as well as our power to transform them.
