Bøger af Lori Gottlieb

"Fantastisk bog. Jeg har læst mange terapibøger ... denne er den mest velskrevne, kærlige og nødvendige af dem." – Leonora Christina SkovDen ene dag hjælper Lori Gottlieb sine klienter som terapeut i sin praksis i Los Angeles. Den næste styrter hendes verden sammen. Ind på scenen kommer Wendell, den sære, men erfarne terapeut, i hvis kontor Lori pludselig befinder sig. Mens hun undersøger de indre kamre af sine klienters liv – en selvoptaget Hollywood-producer, en ung nygift med en terminal sygdom, en ældre kvinde der truer med at slå sig selv i hjel på sin fødselsdag, hvis ikke tingene bliver bedre, og den nogen-og-tyve-årige, der igen og igen ender med de forkerte fyre – finder hun ud af, at de spørgsmål, de tumler med, er de samme, hun tager med til sine sessioner med Wendell.

Den ene dag hjælper psykologen Lori Gottlieb patienter i sin praksis i Los Angeles, den næste styrter hendes verden sammen. Ind på scenen træder Wendell, den sære, men erfarne psykolog, der tilbyder Lori en plads i sin sofa.Med humor og visdom tager Lori sine læsere på en åbenhjertig og dybt personlig rejse bag facaden for at blive klogere på det, der gør os til mennesker. Hun undersøger de historier, vi fortæller os selv og hinanden, mens vi tumler med livets store temaer: kærlighed og begær, skyld og tilgivelse, mening og dødelighed, frygt og mod, håb og forandring.Vi møder den succesfulde, måske sociopatiske, tv-producer John; den unge, nygifte og dødeligt syge Julie, den 69-årige kunstneriske Rita med selvmordstanker og den seriemonogame, nogen-og-tyve-årige Charlotte, der ikke kan holde op med at engagere sig med de forkerte fyre (endda én fra venteværelset).Måske skulle du snakke med nogen er en afvæbnende sjov og tankevækkende fortælling om vores komplicerede liv. Den er for enhver, som går i terapi, har gået i terapi, burde gå i terapi eller bare har et følelsesliv.

"One day, Lori Gottlieb is a therapist who helps patients in her Los Angeles practice. The next, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but. As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients' lives -- a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better, and a twenty something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys -- she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell. With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change. Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is revolutionary in its candor, offering a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly revealing portrait of what it means to be human, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them"--
