I loved your book. Are you planning to keep writing? Your book was just so awesome. What percentage of the book you wrote was true? If that’s too personal, that’s ok. Thanks for letting us understand that world! Lori By the way, great name! 😉

Hi Lori, the book is nonfiction, but I did change all identifying information, of course.

First of all, I loved the book. I've been in therapy for a long time myself, and I always wonder what the therapist is thinking... And I have been considering going back to school myself to become a therapist in my late 30s after working as a writer my whole career. What was it like for you changing careers, and how do you think your writing background helps you as a therapist?

Dear Lori, I am at the "I.Do.Not.Care." part of my current role and want to move in the direction of helping people, not the Man. How challenging was the school component of switching careers later in life and what advice would you share with someone looking to make a similar major transition? Thank you and keep up the good work with John, Wendel and the rest of the gang.

I’m a PsyD student and I love stories, so obviously your book was a delight to read. I like reading, and I love fiction: I love fiction because it forces me to imagine, and empathy (something, I’m sure you know, I will need as a therapist) and compassion are at least 15% imagination. so. what book should I read next?
