Lori Gottlieb has spent years helping others untangle their problems until one day her own life unravels. Suddenly, the questions she asks her patients land back on her own shoulders. Balancing humor and heart, Lori brings you into her world of therapy: the Hollywood producer who thinks she’s invincible; the newlywed facing a terminal diagnosis; the senior citizen who has lost every reason to live; and the self-destructive twenty-something who can’t stop making the same mistakes. Through each session, Lori discovers that even therapists need help. Enter Wendell, a fellow shrink with an unconventional style, who gently leads Lori to confront her own pain. As she listens to her patients and sits on the couch herself, she learns that anyone even those who seem unshakable, can find new strength by talking it through. You’ll connect with Lori’s honest, funny voice as she shows:
  • How our personal stories shape our fears, hopes, and relationships.
  • Why laughter can sneak in even during our darkest moments.
  • That healing often begins when we admit we need it.
If you’ve ever felt alone with your thoughts, worried about being judged, or wondered what really happens in a therapist’s office, this book feels like a warm conversation with a friend who “gets it.” Lori’s story reminds you that we all carry hidden struggles and that sharing them can open the door to true change.

Who should read this book?
Anyone who’s ever wondered what really happens inside a therapist’s office—whether you’re curious about therapy, going through a tough time, or simply enjoy honest, heartwarming stories.

No. It’s partly about the people Lori treats and partly about Lori herself, as she becomes Wendell’s patient. You get a balanced view of both sides of the therapy chair.
Does Lori share personal details?
Yes. She opens up about her own heartbreak and struggles, so you feel the real stakes behind every therapy session.

You’ll pick up gentle insights—for example, why simply talking and being heard matters. This isn’t a step-by-step therapy manual, but you’ll come away with a deeper understanding of how change happens.

It’s both. Lori balances humor with heartfelt moments. You’ll laugh at her wry observations and feel deeply moved by the more vulnerable passages.
