About the book
Lori Gottlieb's 2019 memoir follows her double life as a psychotherapist and as a patient. After her boyfriend abruptly ends their relationship, she seeks help from a therapist named Wendell, even though she is trained to offer that help herself. Alongside her own sessions, she describes four people she treats: a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a newlywed with a terminal diagnosis, a depressed senior citizen, and a young woman caught in damaging relationships and heavy drinking. Through these perspectives, the book examines grief, struggle, and ordinary human emotions from both sides of the therapy room.
