Hi Lori! Like you, I’ve changed career paths a couple of times. Do you ever wish you would have become a therapist earlier? And how have those other careers affected your job as a therapist?
Lori Gottlieb
Hi Nicole! I don't wish I'd done this earlier. I feel that my earlier careers have made me better as a therapist. I write about the connection among all of my careers in the book--all of them dealing with the human condition, just from different angles.

Lori Gottlieb:
I bring your book up in almost every conversation! The way you talk about appreciating the beauty of humanity in each client's experience has me hooked on psychology. I'm an undergrad now and hope to continue schooling so I can get to know, appreciate, help, and connect with people every day. Do you have any advice for someone like me who is just beginning the process of becoming a licensed therapist or psychologist?

I loved your book!! I found myself in tears at times, and also laughing out loud. I also found gems that helped me personally (the book is dogeared in those spots!) Thank you for your candor, kindness, and self-examination. I am curious....did you ever get a diagnosis of your chronic illness? I am a Sjogren's patient and I have a feeling some of what you are experiencing is due to Sjogren's.

Lori Gottlieb:
Not really a question. But I just wanted to say "THANKS FOR THIS AMAZING GIFT". It clarified so many issues that were just questions and questions about a therapist's life. And how to avoid the fear of failing?. If a computer program doesn't work. you correct it. If therapy doesn't work it can be fatal. How do you manage it?
