Molly asked Lori Gottlieb:

Hi Lori, I’m a LCSW and I really enjoyed your book. I’m curious why didn’t you include your LMFT credentials on the cover?

Lori Gottlieb So glad you enjoyed the book! It's clear that I'm a psychotherapist (on the book jacket) and because I'm writing this book from a human rather than clinical/expert perspective, I felt the letters after the name would give a different impression. Maybe in the same way that psychotherapist Esther Perel doesn't include her LMFT credentials on any of her books or other work, though it's clear that she's a psychotherapist. If anyone is curious about a therapist's credentials, they're easy to look up and available to the public. Mine are also on my website. Hope that helps and it's so nice to hear that the book resonated with you.

Knitten asked Lori Gottlieb:

Lori, I loved the book. As a psychotherapist I could relate to so much. My question is about your health problems. Has anyone connected the fact that you became ill after a vacation in Hawaii and that the Zika virus is prevalent in Hawaii? I am not a physician, but the symptoms you describe are similar to those of the tropical disease. Best regards, Rhoda Margolis, LCSW

Carrie asked Lori Gottlieb:

Hi Lori - Enjoyed Maybe You Should Talk to Someone! My question - do you have any books or resources for parents dealing with compassion fatigue? My son has Type 1 diabetes and the teen years are so challenging. I recently learned about compassion fatigue and would love to explore it further. I am thinking of re-starting a support group I had years ago and this would be a great topic of discussion. Thanks!
