Lori Gottlieb, psychotherapist, Dear Therapist columnist for the Atlantic and the author of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone: A Therapist, HER Therapist, and Our Lives Revealed (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2019) offers advice from her experience as a therapist and a patient.

@BrianLehrer how long should a patient be with a therapist? Does her book talk about how to become a therapist?

On @BrianLehrer, a great conversation around how the mix of therapy and psychiatry can be useful. I was lucky enough to have a good therapist who didn't push me to get meds but raised the idea and gave me the resources when I was ready. #WearYourMeds

@BrianLehrer on questions about therapy - my last therapist started to dose off (she was an older woman) and then opened her eyes, I stopped seeing her. My question is, how much do therapists actually listen ?
