Lori Gottlieb: Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

The person you talk to the most in your life, is you. Yet what we often say to ourselves isn't always kind, true or helpful.

Enter today's guest: Lori Gottlieb.

Lori is a psychotherapist and author of the New York Times bestseller 'Maybe You Should Talk to Someone'. In our fast-paced world of independence and individualism, we often minimize the importance of our interdependence to each other.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into:

• How to recognize and manage negative self-talk
• How to gain perspective on another person's point of view
• How to use self-compassion is a tool for motivation and reflection
• The power of emotions as a compass in our lives
• and much more...

In addition to her clinical practice, Lori writes The Atlantic's weekly "Dear Therapist" advice column and contributes regularly to The New York Times and many other publications. Her recent TED Talk is one of the top 10 most watched of the year. A member of the Advisory Council for Bring Change to Mind and advisor to the Aspen Institute, she is a sought-after expert in media such as The Today Show, Good Morning America, The CBS This Morning, CNN, and NPR's "Fresh Air." Her new iHeart Radio podcast, "Dear Therapists," produced by Katie Couric, will premier this year.
