I’m Lori Gottlieb, author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone. And I’m Guy Winch, author of Emotional First Aid. We’re both advice columnists, TED speakers, and of course therapists in clinical practice who want to bring the lessons of the therapy room outside the therapy room… to all of you. Each week on DEAR THERAPISTS, we invite you to be a fly-on-the-wall in these personal, raw, transformative sessions with everyday people and then hear what happens when we give concrete, actionable advice and have them report back to let us know how things went after the session ended. We’re sharing these real sessions because we believe that everyone can benefit from hearing how people just like them get through their struggles and grow and change. So sit back and come into the therapy room with us… and prepare to learn a lot about yourself in the process.

Helps you understand yourself and others better

Though the problems people come with are idiosyncratic to some extent, they are also problems that many can relate to. The advice Lori and Guy provide can be practiced by listeners as well. They underline the importance of open communication and bring forward shadows that many of us have and which we can learn to love and view with compassion. I really enjoy the podcasts and I spend time reflecting on what was said. I have also shared some of the things I learned with friends and colleagues at work. As a side note, I would like to add that Lori’s book “Maybe you should talk to someone” is very good. Not only is it well-written, but the story is relatable and very insightful. Lori also has a great sense of humour. If you haven’t read the book, you should :)
