Overview
What is therapy? There are many types, but psychotherapy involves meeting with a therapist to develop positive thinking and coping skills to treat mental health illness or past trauma. And it helps a lot of people. But many people that need help don't seek it out.
One study says that 1 in 5 Americans have a mental illness, and only around 50% of those with moderate-to-severe impairment seek help. There are many reasons someone wouldn't go to therapy when they need it. But for Lori Gottlieb, it was hard because she was a professional therapist herself.
In Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed, she recounts being left reeling after a breakup with the person she thought would be her forever. This book is a fascinating peek into psychotherapy from the perspective of a therapist who needed it herself.

"In therapy, we aim for self-compassion (am I human?), verses self-esteem (a judgement: am I good or bad?)"
