Hi Lori! I just finished "Maybe You Should Talk to Someone" and I'm curious, has your perspective on virtual therapy shifted at all since the pandemic? In the book you seem partial to in-person therapy because of reading body language and added intimacy. Did you have virtual sessions during the pandemic? How did they go? Do you see different benefits to virtual therapy now than you did before? Thanks for your time!
Lori Gottlieb
That's a great question! I've talked about this a lot in interviews since then, and while I'll always prefer in-person, I've found great value in virtual sessions as well. In fact, have you listened to my DEAR THERAPISTS podcast? Each episode is a real session with a real person, and the sessions are done via Zoom (you just hear the audio on the podcast). Those sessions go very deep, even though we're on Zoom. Take a listen... I'll be curious to hear what you think!

I'm thinking about talking to a therapist. I am ashamed about it and will not tell anybody. Why do you think people are so uncomfortable with the concept of talking to someone about a problem? Do you think I can resolve my problem (former best friend has distanced herself from me) in just a few sessions?

Lori Gottlieb:
Not exactly a question, but wondered if you knew libraries are unable to get your book _Maybe You Should Talk to Someone_ in audio format? Here is the explanation: "The eAudio was published by Audible, and they (and Brilliance) do not sell their titles in eAudiobook format to libraries. Unfortunately they have also not made it available for purchase on audiobook CD format." Can you fix it? Thank you!
