A therapist with her own practice in Los Angeles, Lori Gottlieb spends her days helping patients sort through their emotions and discover how to heal. But Gottlieb has her own insecurities, and when life throws her for a loop, she signs up for therapy herself. In this refreshingly candid and frequently funny memoir, Gottlieb invites the reader into the world of both doctor and patient, sharing absorbing portraits of an array of patients with various issues, as well as her own journey toward transformation after a difficult breakup. For anyone who's ever been in therapy, considered therapy, or even been skeptical of therapy, this book is a delightful revelation about what it means to be human.
