Therapist Lori Gottlieb takes us behind the scenes of her practice - where her patients are looking for answers, and so is she. She recounts her experiences with her own therapist, Wendell, and explores the inner lives of her patients - a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed with a terminal illness, a depressed senior citizen, and a self-destructive twenty-something - realising that the questions they are struggling with are often the same questions she is asking herself. Maybe You Should Talk to Someone offers a rare and candid insight into a profession that is conventionally bound with rules and secrecy.
