... Read moreIn 'Maybe You Should Talk to Someone', Lori Gottlieb presents a compelling narrative that intertwines her experiences as a therapist with her personal journey seeking help. This New York Times bestseller explores the challenges therapists face, offering a unique perspective on the profession and its emotional toll.
