Hi Lori! I just finished "Maybe You Should Talk to Someone" and I'm curious, has your perspective on virtual therapy shifted at all since the pandemic? In the book you seem partial to in-person therapy because of reading body language and added intimacy. Did you have virtual sessions during the pandemic? How did they go? Do you see different benefits to virtual therapy now than you did before? Thanks for your time!
Lori Gottlieb
That's a great question! I've talked about this a lot in interviews since then, and while I'll always prefer in-person, I've found great value in virtual sessions as well. In fact, have you listened to my DEAR THERAPISTS podcast? Each episode is a real session with a real person, and the sessions are done via Zoom (you just hear the audio on the podcast). Those sessions go very deep, even though we're on Zoom. Take a listen... I'll be curious to hear what you think!

Hello, I read your book Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, and I thought it was amazing! I reviewed it on Goodreads, if you're interested in my thoughts on it. I related to it tremendously since I have also been struggling with numerous undiagnosed symptoms. The fatigue and pain, as well as the fear you describe when it comes to telling others, are very real to me. I wanted to know how are you feeling today?

I loved your book and have already recommended it to three other people who are reading it right now! I kept thinking how much I would like to find a therapist like you — in past attempts I haven’t managed to find someone I really felt was right for me. What advice do you gave for finding the “right” therapist? Thanks so much for writing! Please keep it up!
