Thanks for watching! Read all about Lori here 👉🏼bit.ly/richroll464

My guest today Los Angeles-based psychotherapist and journalist Lori Gottlieb. Lori is the weekly ‘Dear Therapist’ columnist for the Atlantic and contributes to several publications including the New York Times. Her latest book, ‘Maybe You Should Talk to Someone’ is NYT bestselling peek behind the scenes of a therapist’s world.

This is a conversation about what happens when a therapist -- someone specifically trained to understand what makes people do what they do -- experiences her own personal crisis. But it’s also a broader conversation about mental well-being in general. A discussion about the psychological impact of comparing ourselves to others. Healthy and unhealthy parenting practices. Repairing ruptured relationships. And many other topics.
Enjoy!
✌🏼🌱 - Rich

    This woman is inspiring and relates so well to people and their lives. Thank you for this informative , thoughtful conversation.
  • @opennewproject
    Therapy certainly has its benefits but one of the main reasons many people don't do it more is because there are not many good and affordable therapists. The ones who do except insurance are usually not the right match. So to say that people are not willing to claim responsibility for their own lives and expose themselves to a less comfortable side of truly dealing with issues are a bit too far fetched. It's a choice between 200$ per session (at least) and other maybe more pressing responsibilities one needs to take care of.
  • How great is this podcast!!! This was my first time ever listening and I was not familiar with Rich or Lori at all yet could totally relate to everything they talked about. There really are no coincidences. I am in therapy and this really helped me too although I wouldn’t use just the internet for therapy and expect to make as much progress. I really appreciated everything they talked about too and only wish I had this available to me 40 years ago when I was 19 instead of 59. Maybe I could have avoided some of the pain I’ve put myself through. Thank you Rich, Thank you Lori, both of you for sharing some of your own personal stories and the enlightenment you’ve gained.

    I majored in French then followed a similar trajectory by doing pre-med, med school and ending up as a therapist treating substance abuse. Excellent interview and great discussion.
  • Feel comfortable to listen to this podcast in a not lovely day~~

  • @elinalocika5485
    Lori, you are adorable!☀️❤️ Thank you for waiting right book to come!
  • I love that you included your story with your patients stories.
  • Wow it's so admirable that you have so easily confessed that you are a pathological people pleaser. Also you are so human to admit that one can momentarily lose their trend of thought. Very honest and easy to relate to. I like to remind myself when people talk to me and relate their problems that they are telling me one side of their story, their version. there is also another version from the other person. Very helpful 🙏 podcast.🙏
