Thanks for the great book "Maybe You Should Talk to Someone". It was the right book for me to read this year as I've been going through a lot. What's most rewarding for you,,,one on one consultations with clients or writing a book that's well received by the public?? I would imagine both but when do you feel really strongly that your efforts are really rewarded and worthwhile? Thanks again, Kathy.
Lori Gottlieb
Hi Kathy, great question! I love the work I do with my clients, but I only have the opportunity to work with people one-on-one or in the context of a couple or family. I wanted to bring the insights from the therapy room to more people through the book. Both are rewarding if they're helping people to live better lives.

Hi Lori! I just finished "Maybe You Should Talk to Someone" and I'm curious, has your perspective on virtual therapy shifted at all since the pandemic? In the book you seem partial to in-person therapy because of reading body language and added intimacy. Did you have virtual sessions during the pandemic? How did they go? Do you see different benefits to virtual therapy now than you did before? Thanks for your time!

As a family physician, I see so many patients who struggle with their ambivalence to change their lives. I recommend this book as a way to get them to start thinking about their lives in a new way. Those who have read it, are so thankful. Thanks for writing this. Maybe you can write one for folks with medical conditions such as diabetes, etc?

Hi Lori! Loved your book!! As a therapist myself and a blogger I was curious from a logistical prospective of how you were able to write about your clients? I wondered the whole time: How much of this is true? How much did she have to change? But mostly I just wished were we’re coworkers/friends because I enjoyed every word and lesson you wrote. Thanks!
