Even as a therapist, after a crisis causes her world to come crashing down, Lori needed therapy herself. Enter Wendell, the quirky but seasoned therapist in whose office she suddenly lands. In her book, Lori explores the inner chambers of her patients’ lives and finds that the questions they are struggling with are the very ones she is now bringing to Wendell.
Gottlieb reveals our blind spots, 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.
