Ribeiro Maria Clara asked Lori Gottlieb:

not a question, i just want to thank Lori for writing such a life-changing book. "maybe you should talk to someone" changed my perspective and made me take action when i first read it over a year ago, and now that i'm re-reading it, once again my perspective is changing and i'm ready to take action. thank you, Lori!?

Lori Gottlieb So glad to hear this! I agree that we read books differently the second time because WE change between the time we first read something and the time we come back to it. And often we pick up on something we missed the first time or see a quote we underlined differently or more impactfully. I remember writing the chapter, "How Humans Change" and hoping it would help people understand that change isn't a single decision, but an internal process, and that understanding this would help people to make changes in their lives (and take action) more effectively. Thank you for your lovely post.

Oh my gosh - I just finished "Maybe You Should Talk to Someone..." and I can't give it enough praise! There were so many moments of clarity the classic "ah-ha" moments, times of deep sadness and then so much Joy! I also found the discussion of 'time' and lack thereof so necessary - do you have any resources that you would recommend that discuss this more in-depth?

Marcia L asked Lori Gottlieb:

I am listening to the book and there are no author's notes at the beginning that would answer Rebecca's question. I too have the same question. How did you deal with confidentiality?

Gretchen Smith asked Lori Gottlieb:

I also wonder what more can be done to fix our mental health system - particularly intense treatment for those who need it. What more can be done to advocate for change? Gretchen Smith blacklabone15322@att.net
