Jude asked Lori Gottlieb:

This is not a question. I have struggled so much with exploring and knowing myself as an individual in this universe (this sounds so existential but I'm existential unfortunately). Your book gave me a clear path on where to start to mentally get better by actually understanding myself. I laughed and cried so hard reading it! It touched me on a very deep level like no other book I have read! Thank you for writing it! ?

Lori Gottlieb Thank you for your kind words! I'm so glad the book resonated with you. If you'd like to hear something similar to the book, you might enjoy my DEAR THERAPISTS podcast, where we do real sessions with real people (like in the book), but you can hear them happening and also get follow ups on what happened after they tried the advice we gave after the session :)

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?

Ribeiro Maria Clara

Ribeiro Maria Clara asked Lori Gottlieb:

not a question, i just want to thank Lori for writing such a life-changing book. "maybe you should talk to someone" changed my perspective and made me take action when i first read it over a year ago, and now that i'm re-reading it, once again my perspective is changing and i'm ready to take action. thank you, Lori!?

Linda Howard

Linda Howard asked Lori Gottlieb:

I loved your book!! I found myself in tears at times, and also laughing out loud. I also found gems that helped me personally (the book is dogeared in those spots!) Thank you for your candor, kindness, and self-examination. I am curious....did you ever get a diagnosis of your chronic illness? I am a Sjogren's patient and I have a feeling some of what you are experiencing is due to Sjogren's.
