Kim Potts asked Lori Gottlieb:

I loved your book and have already recommended it to three other people who are reading it right now! I kept thinking how much I would like to find a therapist like you — in past attempts I haven’t managed to find someone I really felt was right for me. What advice do you gave for finding the “right” therapist? Thanks so much for writing! Please keep it up!

Lori Gottlieb Thanks so much for reading and recommending the book, Kim! You won't know if you've found the "right" therapist until you sit in a room with this person. Go for a consultation and see how you feel after the session. Word of mouth is often a great way to find a good therapist. If you have a friend who loves her therapist, ask her to ask her therapist for a referral for you. Her therapist will likely have a good recommendation.

I am pursuing a Masters in Mental Health and Wellness counseling and your book was my companion through one of the dark phases in my life. Thank you for that! I wanted to know if you suggest any other book that reads like yours- a memoir or personal account about being a therapist and the work we do for our clients ?

A Goodreads user asked Lori Gottlieb:

Hi Lori - I read two of your books, Marry him and you should talk to someone. Both were extremely credible, which to me is the holy grail of any story, fact or fiction. My question is how to spice up my sex life with my wife. I have read a lot of books on this subject, which recommend everything from couples therapy to hotwifing, and find it all confusing and not intuitive. Can you shed any light on this?
