Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, Her Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed
Why I recommend it
Gottlieb is funny and honest about the people on both sides of therapy. The person helping someone else has unfinished work too.
What stayed with me
Helpers have blind spots and needs of their own. That’s worth remembering in coaching and leadership.
Who it’s useful for
People curious about therapy, and anyone working through a difficult stretch of life.
A tension or limitation
A story can make change seem tidier than it is. Recognizing a pattern and changing it can take very different amounts of time.
