Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

Author: Lori Gottlieb

This beautifully written and often funny book follows therapist Lori Gottlieb as she navigates the lives of her clients—while unexpectedly becoming a client herself. It’s a story about vulnerability, heartbreak, healing, and the surprising ways life brings us face-to-face with ourselves.

What makes it so compelling is its honesty. Therapy is often seen as a one-way process, but Lori invites us behind the curtain to see the therapist as a human being, too—struggling, healing, and learning. Her clients’ stories mirror so many of our own fears, doubts, and longings.

Why We Recommend It:
This book is a wonderful read for anyone curious about therapy—or nervous to start. It makes the process feel less intimidating and more deeply human. It also reminds us that healing doesn’t happen in a straight line, and that sometimes being brave enough to ask for help is the most powerful thing we can do.
