In this episode, we read the book Maybe you should talk to someone.

This remarkable book offers us a rare dual perspective on therapy - Gottlieb writes both as a seasoned therapist treating her own patients and as someone who finds herself in desperate need of therapy after a personal crisis turns her world upside down.

Gottlieb weaves together multiple narratives. throughout the book and we follow her work with four distinct patients, each grappling with their own struggles, while simultaneously experiencing her own vulnerability as she sits across from her therapist, Wendell. The result is an honest, often humorous, and deeply human exploration of what it means to seek help and healing.

As we discuss this book today, we’ll explore themes of denial, growth, relationships, and the courage it takes to examine our own lives honestly. Whether you’ve been in therapy yourself or are simply curious about the human condition, Gottlieb’s narrative offers profound insights into how we connect with others and, ultimately, with ourselves.
