內容簡介
內容簡介 ★上市首週強勢竄上亞馬遜網路書店總榜TOP 100;★獲選亞馬遜書店年度書籍TOP 10,長踞心理勵志類前茅;★囊括《O:歐普拉雜誌》與《人物雜誌》等眾多媒體選書;★即將改編影集,將延請《慾望師奶》伊娃・朗格莉亞演出!每年找心理師晤談的美國人將近三千萬名——其中有些病人本身也是心理師。在這本書裡,作者蘿蕊・葛利布告訴我們:儘管她受過嚴格訓練,也具備心理治療執照,但她之所以能做諮商,最重要的憑據是——她同樣是人類的一員。當她的世界因為一次危機天翻地覆,她寫道:「我知道當一個人是什麼感覺」。於是,她開始和古怪、經驗豐富,但很不典型的心理師溫德爾晤談。同一段時間,葛利布自己則在治療一個自戀的好萊塢製片,一名才剛結婚就被診斷出末期癌症的女子,一個威脅生活景況一年內沒有好轉就要在生日當天自殺的老婦,還有一個二十多歲、老是跟不對的人勾搭的年輕人(此君連診間的人都要搭訕)。在葛利布探索病人的內心世界的同時,她也發現:她的病人苦苦糾結的問題,其實正是她自己向溫德爾求助的問題。生活,就像是在鋼索上危步,我們游移在愛與欲、意義與死亡、罪惡與救贖、恐懼與勇氣,以及希望與改變之間。葛利布以過人的智慧和幽默揭露我們的盲點,檢視我們掙扎時對自己和他人道出的真相和虛構。作者除了是諮商心理師,亦長期為各大報章撰寫諮詢專欄,解答讀者們五花八門的疑難,這本著作不只帶我們一探諮商心理師的世界,看她如何幫助病人尋找答案,也看她如何在病人與同業身上看到自己的影子,服下自己開出的藥方。本書坦率程度前所未見,充滿歡樂、刺激思考又處處驚喜,對人心的探索既深入個人內在,又合乎人類通性,勇敢訴說人之為人的意義,並對我們轉化生命的能力提出有趣而生動的觀察。本中文書介出自《也許你該找人聊聊: 一個諮商心理師與她的心理師, 以及我們的生活》行路出版出版A TIME magazine Must-Read Book of the YearEver 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."
