(TOMS RIVER, NJ) -- When psychotherapist Lori Gottlieb's personal world collapsed, she found herself moving from the analyst's seat to the couch. The experience spawned her refreshingly candid Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. You might recognize bits of yourself in her Ocean County Library Virtual Author Talk on Tuesday, October 22, 2024. The event begins at 2:00pm.
Personal truths and fictions send some 30 million Americans to therapy each year. Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, available in print, audiobook and eBook versions at the Ocean County Library, is Lori’s witty, thought-provoking chronicle of her search for answers and the realization that patients with the same questions populate her office.
An ego-driven film producer, a senior citizen without hope, a terminally-ill newlywed and a young adult trapped in dismal relationships are some of the instances Lori highlights to expose our blind spots and separate reality and rationale, love and desire, fear and courage, guilt and redemption, hope and change.
Lori co-hosts the “Dear Therapists” podcast series, contributes the “Dear Therapist” column to The Atlantic and appears frequently on CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN and NPR. Her 2019 TED Talk has garnered nearly seven million views and she attracts nearly 200,000 followers on Instagram and X combined.
