Lori Gottlieb

Neverojatno iskrennie i porazitelno otkrovennye memuary psikhoterapevta, pokorivshie mir. O knige s vostorgom otzyvajutsja Arianna Khaffington, Sjuzan Kejn i Irvin Jalom. Lori - psikhoterapevt iz Los-Andzhelesa. Kazhdyj den v ee kabinet prikhodjat samye raznye ljudi, chtoby rasskazat o svoikh problemakh - potomu chto im ne s kem ob etom pogovorit. Dzhon - uspeshnyj prodjuser s krasavitsej-zhenoj i dvumja detmi - uveren, chto vse vokrug idioty. No kakaja tajna na samom dele skryvaetsja za ego samouverennostju i egoizmom?.. Rita, odinokaja zhenschina, planiruet pokonchit s soboj, esli cherez god ee zhizn ne izmenitsja. Posle trekh neudachnykh brakov ona tak i ne obrela ljubov, a deti ne zhelajut ee videt. Est li u nee shans na schaste?.. Dzhulija vo vremja medovogo mesjatsa s ljubimym muzhem uznaet, chto u nee rak. Kak spravitsja s osoznaniem sobstvennoj skoroj smerti, kogda tvoja zhizn tolko nachalas?.. Sharlotta ne mozhet ostanovit beskonechnyj tsikl samorazrushenija: alkogolizm i besporjadochnye svjazi stali ee sposobom spravitsja s detskimi travmami. No esli proshloe izmenit nevozmozhno, kak izmenit sebja?.. Uendell - ekstsentrichnyj psikhoanalitik - nuzhen samoj Lori, chtoby spravitsja s tjazhelym rasstavaniem. No dejstvitelno li ona toskuet ob ushedshem bojfrende, a ne o chem-to bolshem?.. V kabinete psikhoterapevta net mesta tajnam, illjuzijam i samoobmanu. I bez bumazhnykh platkov tochno ne obojtis...

Lori Gottlib, uspeshnyj psikhoterapevt, konsultiruet mnozhestvo patsientov i pomogaet im spravljatsja s raznoobraznymi zhiznennymi peripetijami. No po sredam ona sama patsientka, rydajuschaja v kabinete psikhoanalitika, potomu chto ee zhizn letit pod otkos. Neverojatno zhiznennaja, chestnaja i otkrovennaja istorija zastavljaet smejatsja, plakat i bezuderzhno vozmuschatsja vmeste s glavnymi gerojami, kotorye pytajutsja izmenit svoju zhizn ili khotja by primiritsja s nej. Gottlib dokazyvaet: nevazhno, naskolko my vse raznye, ot boli i otchajanija ne zastrakhovan nikto - ni samouverennyj gollivudskij stsenarist, ni zhizneradostnaja devushka s onkologiej, ni dazhe ikh stojkij i uchastlivyj psikhoterapevt.

An eye-opening, funny, painful, and always truthful in-depth examination of modern relationships, and a wake-up call for single women about getting real about Mr. Right, from the New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. You have a fulfilling job, great friends, and the perfect apartment. So what if you haven't found "The One" just yet. He'll come along someday, right? But what if he doesn't? Or what if Mr. Right had been, well, Mr. Right in Front of You--but you passed him by? Nearing forty and still single, journalist Lori Gottlieb started to wonder: What makes for lasting romantic fulfillment, and are we looking for those qualities when we're dating? Are we too picky about trivial things that don't matter, and not picky enough about the often overlooked things that do? In Marry Him, Gottlieb explores an all-too-common dilemma--how to reconcile the desire for a happy marriage with a list of must-haves and deal-breakers so long and complicated that many great guys get misguidedly eliminated. On a quest to find the answer, Gottlieb sets out on her own journey in search of love, discovering wisdom and surprising insights from sociologists and neurobiologists, marital researchers and behavioral economists--as well as single and married men and women of all generations.

The next, a crisis causes her world to come crashing down. Enter Wendell, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose of-fice she suddenly lands. With his balding head, cardigan, and khakis, he seems to have come straight from Therapist Central Casting. Yet he will turn out to be anything but.As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her patients' lives--a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen threatening to end her life on her birthday if nothing gets better, and a twenty-something who can't stop hooking up with the wrong guys--she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell.With startling wisdom and humor, Gottlieb invites us into her world as both clinician and patient, examining the truths and fictions we tell ourselves and others as we teeter on the tightrope between love and desire, meaning and mortality, guilt and redemption, terror and courage, hope and change.Maybe You Should Talk to Someone is rev-olutionary in its candor, offering a deeply per-sonal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds and providing the rarest of gifts: a boldly reveal-ing portrait of what it means to be human, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.

"Fantastisk bog. Jeg har læst mange terapibøger ... denne er den mest velskrevne, kærlige og nødvendige af dem." – Leonora Christina SkovPsykologen Lori Gottlieb tager læseren på en åbenhjertig og dybt personlig rejse bag facaden for at blive klogere på det, der gør os til mennesker. Hun undersøger de historier, vi fortæller os selv og hinanden, mens vi tumler med livets store temaer: kærlighed og begær, skyldog tilgivelse, mening og dødelighed, håb og forandring. Vi møder den succesfulde, måske sociopatiske, tv-producer John, den unge, nygifte og dødeligt syge Julie, den 69-årige kunstneriske Rita med selvmordstanker og den seriemonogame, nogen-og-tyve-årige Charlotte, der ikke kan holde op med at involvere sig med de forkerte fyre (endda én fra venteværelset). Måske skulle du snakke med nogen er en afvæbnende sjov og tankevækkende fortælling om vores komplicerede liv. Den er for enhver, som går i terapi, har gået i terapi, burde gå i terapi eller bare har et følelsesliv.

A TIME magazine Must-Read Book of the Year Ever wonder what your therapist is thinking? Now you can find out, as therapist and New York Times bestselling author Lori Gottlieb takes us behind the scenes of her practice — where her patients are looking for answers (and so is she). When a personal crisis causes her world to come crashing down, Lori Gottlieb — an experienced therapist with a thriving practice in Los Angeles — is suddenly adrift. Enter Wendell, himself a veteran therapist with an unconventional style, whose sessions with Gottlieb will prove transformative for her. As Gottlieb explores the inner chambers of her own patients’ lives — a self-absorbed Hollywood producer, a young newlywed diagnosed with a terminal illness, a senior citizen who feels she has nothing to live for, and a self-destructive twenty-something who can’t stop hooking up with the wrong guys — she finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very questions she is bringing to Wendell. Taking place over one year, and beginning with the devastating event that lands her in Wendell’s office, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone offers a rare and candid insight into a profession that is conventionally bound with rules and secrecy. Told with charm and compassion, vulnerability and humour, it’s also the story of an incredible relationship between two therapists, and a disarmingly funny and illuminating account of our own mysterious inner lives, as well as our power to transform them.

"Part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself - to let go of the limiting stories you've told yourself about who you are so that you can live your life, and not the stories you've been telling yourself about your life."- Lori Gottlieb, New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk to SomeoneWhen Maybe You Should Talk to Someone was released into the world, it became an instant New York Times bestseller and international phenomenon, with readers across the globe finding their truth in the powerful stories Lori Gottlieb shared from inside her therapy room.

Using eye-opening concepts, thought-provoking exercises, compelling writing prompts, and real examples from the patients in the original book, Lori has created an easy-to-follow guide through the journey of becoming our own editors, examining aspects of our narratives that hold us back, and discovering the ways in which changing our stories can change our lives.An experience, a meditation, and a practical toolkit combined into one, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: The Workbook is the companion readers have been asking for: a revolutionary method for understanding which stories to keep and which to revise so that we can create our own personal masterpieces.

Vad händer när terapeuten själv hamnar i kris?Lori har lämnat Hollywoods lyxluncher och kändisflärd för att hjälpa människor på riktigt. Som psykoterapeut hjälper hon vanliga människor hantera kriser, sorg, ångest, utbrändhet, depression -- de trassel som kantar ett människoliv. Hon borde vara förberedd. Men när en oväntad kris drabbar henne blir det omöjligt att reda ut den känslomässiga härvan på egen hand.Så hamnar hon på Wendells kontor. Med cardigan, khakibyxor och begynnande flint verkar han som rekryterad från Terapistereotypernas Castingbyrå AB, men han ska visa sig vara så mycket mer.Parallellt med att Lori utforskar sina patienters inre världar en självupptagen Hollywoodproducent, en nygift ung kvinna som fått en dödlig diagnos, en pensionär som hotar med att ta livet av sig på sin födelsedag om inget blir bättre, och en tjugoåring som inte kan låta bli att strula med fel killar (inte ens killarna i väntrummet går säkra) -- upptäcker hon att de frågor patienterna brottas med är desamma som hon själv kämpar med. Kan en skallig, khakiklädd, udda terapeut verkligen hjälpa Lori, som redan känner till alla knep? Det här är Lori Gottliebs insiktsfulla, roliga, spränglärda och helt sanna berättelse om livet på båda sidor av terapistolen. Vad tänker terapeuterna egentligen när vi berättar om våra liv? Vilka metoder använder de för att lossa våra inre knutar? Vad känner de inför oss? Och framför allt: hur kan man lära sig att ta emot hjälp, när man vet lika mycket som personen i stolen mittemot?

Lori Gottlieb--psychotherapist, national advice columnist, and New York Times bestselling author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone--shares her "gripping" (The Boston Globe) chronicle of adolescent anorexia that "stands out as a fresh, edgy take...on that perilous time in a girl's life when she's no longer a child but not quite an adult (Entertainment Weekly). For a girl growing up in Beverly Hills in 1978, the motto "You can never be too rich or too thin" is writ large. Precocious Lori learns her lessons well, so when she's told that "real women don't eat dessert" and "no one could ever like a girl who has thunder thighs," she decides to become a paragon of dieting. Soon Lori has become the "stick figure" she's longed to resemble. But then what? Stick Figure takes the reader on a gripping journey, as Lori struggles to reclaim both her body and her spirit. By turns painful and wry, Lori's efforts to reconcile the conflicting messages society sends women ring as true today as when she first recorded these impressions. "One diet book says that if you drink three full glasses of water one hour before every meal to fill yourself up, you'll lose a pound a day. Another book says that once you start losing weight, everyone will ask, 'How did you do it' but you shouldn't tell them because it's 'your little secret.' Then right above that part it says, 'New York Times bestseller.' Some secret." Based on the author's childhood journals, Stick Figure is "a smart, funny, compassionate" (Entertainment Weekly) tale that delivers an engrossing glimpse into the mind of a girl in transition to adulthood and a powerful cautionary tale about the dangers of living up to society's expectations.

This memoir is required reading in many middle and high schools across the country and is also used by eating disorder treatment centers for those in recovery.
