A TIME magazine Must-Read Book of the Year Ever wonder what your therapist is thinking? Now
you can find out as therapist and 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).
When a personal crisis causes her world to come crashing down Lori Gottlieb - an experienced
therapist with a thriving practice in Los Angeles - is suddenly adrift. Enter Wendell himself
a veteran therapist with an unconventional style whose sessions with Gottlieb will prove
transformative for her. As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her own patients' lives -
a self-absorbed Hollywood producer a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness a
senior citizen who feels she has nothing to live for and a self-destructive twenty-something
who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys - she finds that the questions they are
struggling with are the very questions she is bringing to Wendell. Taking place over one year
and beginning with the devastating event that lands her in Wendell's office Maybe You Should
Talk to Someone offers a rare and candid insight into a profession that is conventionally bound
with rules and secrecy. Told with charm and compassion vulnerability and humour it's also the
story of an incredible relationship between two therapists and a disarmingly funny and
illuminating account of our own mysterious inner lives as well as our power to transform them.
