Lindsey asked Lori Gottlieb:

Hi Lori! Loved your book!! As a therapist myself and a blogger I was curious from a logistical prospective of how you were able to write about your clients? I wondered the whole time: How much of this is true? How much did she have to change? But mostly I just wished were we’re coworkers/friends because I enjoyed every word and lesson you wrote. Thanks!

Lori Gottlieb Thanks so much, Lindsey! There's an Author's Note at the beginning of the book that explains this :-)

First of all, I loved the book. I've been in therapy for a long time myself, and I always wonder what the therapist is thinking... And I have been considering going back to school myself to become a therapist in my late 30s after working as a writer my whole career. What was it like for you changing careers, and how do you think your writing background helps you as a therapist?
