Enter Wendell, himself a veteran therapist with an unconventional style, whose sessions with Gottlieb will prove transformative for her.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTaking place over one year, and beginning with the devastating event that lands her in Wendell's office, \u003cem\u003eMaybe You Should Talk to Someone\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'What makes this book a joy to read is that it offers a wise and witty meld of the author's personal insights and clinical observations plus bite-sized nuggets of psychology without ever lecturing or boring the reader ... For those who are skeptical, fearful or turned off by the idea of the talking cure, this fly-on-the-wall view of the subject just might convince you that therapy is remarkably worthwhile ... For self-help aficionados, there is wisdom galore on topics such as the drivers and inhibitors of psychological transformation, managing loss and grief, discovering meaning in life and work ... And for therapists, there is the chance to sit back and take note of how another clinician applies her skills to conjure up the magic of effective therapy ... A talented and highly accomplished writer, Gottlieb's insecurities and chronic internal conflicts may surprise some readers. The fact that she doesn't hold back talking about her suffering is what makes this book so powerful ... a most satisfying and illuminating read for psychotherapy patients, their therapists, and all the rest of us.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n-Karen R.

In showing us how patients reveal just a part of their selves, Gottlieb gives us a dizzily satisfying collage of narratives, a kind of ensemble soap opera set in the already soap operatic world of Los Angeles ... Gottlieb can be judgmental and obsessive, but she's authentic, even raw, about herself and her patients.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n-Alex Kuczynski, The New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'A hugely entertaining memoir about a therapist in therapy.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n-Kerri Sackville, Sunday Age\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45693320167660,"sku":"9781922310712","price":34.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781922310712.jpg?v=1725597560"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/lori-gottlieb.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
