Rachel asked Lori Gottlieb:

Absolutely loved your book! One of the best I have ever read. In the beginning I was not comfortable with going to therapy but decided that I needed to and it has helped a lot. The hard part is saying what I feel out loud to her because I struggle with understanding my own feelings and do not know how to describe them. I usually just sit there unsure what to say. Does this get easier? Is there a way to overcome this?

Lori Gottlieb Hi Rachel, you might tell your therapist that this is a struggle for you. It will help a lot for him/her to know that you're having that experience.

don't you think if you really like an Author the little tab on goodreads should say not "follow the author" but stalk your fav Author's"? Ok, I clicked it.

Nima Morgan asked Lori Gottlieb:

Hi Lorie, I truly enjoyed your book, i cried and laughed and celebrated your success with you. I wondered after I finished your book, did you find it difficult to stop therapy, or do you stay in contact with your therapist? I think ending a relationship as deep as that would be difficult.

Molly asked Lori Gottlieb:

Hello, I loved your book, and my daughter just completed her PsyD and so I had her read it as well :). So, my question, for patient privacy of course you change the names, and maybe gender, age? But, were your patients able to identify themselves in the book?
