The Book in 3 Sentences

• Therapists also needs therapy
• Lori Gottlieb writes not only as a therapist helping people through grief, heartbreak, illness, and regret, but also as someone who unexpectedly finds herself sitting on the other side of the couch after her own life unravels.
• We often think we know why we're struggling—but that's usually just the beginning of the story. Through her patients and her own therapy, Gottlieb shows how the narratives we tell ourselves can protect us while also keeping us stuck, and how healing often starts when we're willing to look a little deeper.
• Even though every patient's story is different, I kept seeing the same themes come up: the need to be loved, the fear of change, the difficulty of letting go, and the hope that it's never too late to grow.
