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, and a 20-something who can’t stop hooking up with the wrong guys – she finds the questions they struggle with are the very ones she is bringing to Wendell.
Maybe You Should Talk To Someone offers a deeply personal yet universal tour of our hearts and minds, a revealing portrait of what it means to be human and a funny, illuminating account of our own mysterious lives and our power to transform them.
