Aana V asked Lori Gottlieb:

I am pursuing a Masters in Mental Health and Wellness counseling and your book was my companion through one of the dark phases in my life. Thank you for that! I wanted to know if you suggest any other book that reads like yours- a memoir or personal account about being a therapist and the work we do for our clients ?

Lori Gottlieb Thank you, Aana! I'm so glad the book was your companion during that time. I highly recommend Love's Executioner by Irvin Yalom.

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?
