If you’re curious about what actually happens in therapy, think you’re alone in your neurosis, heartbreak or trauma and need to be reminded otherwise, or intrigued by what transpires when a therapist needs therapy, then pull up a couch. But I was invited to a book reading and discussion with Lori Gottlieb, the author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone and she was so earnest, so lovely, so committed to her patients (who all gave permission to be included in the book) that I couldn’t help but look at the NYTs best-seller with fresh eyes. A book that seemingly sensationalizes therapy and is being turned into a television for ABC starring Eva Longoria? Well that seemed like equally a stretch for a subject matter that I take very seriously: therapy. As if I’d be selling out or fall into a 50 Shades of Gray shame spiral. I always hesitate to read books getting all the buzz.
