I want a silent spectator for my life. I want someone to watch my foolish antics, like when I stop to stare at every peculiar leaf and tree I find on my way, when I jump up and down at the smell of the first rain and wait for the rain only to dance with joy as the first drops of the season trickle down my face. I want someone to see the peculiar dreams I dream and the the way I look at the night stars as if I'm talking to them. I want someone to see how I talk to the moon (as if I'm talking to a random acquaintance I see everyday at work) about how it shows a different face every night.
I want to be seen without showing myself.

People often mistake numbness for nothingness, but numbness isn't the absence of feelings; it's a response to being overwhelmed by too many feelings.

" But part of getting to know yourself is to unknow yourself - to let go of the limiting stories you've told yourself about who you are so that you aren't trapped by them, so you can live your life and not the story you've been telling yourself about your life. "

Some comfy socks ft. one of my favorite reads of the past couple of years! Not only was reading this super cathartic, but it also offered a lot of insight into life as a therapist. I highly recommend!

Book Review: Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb
Tumblr media
I've been in the "everybody can benefit from therapy" camp for a long time, so this book was confirming for me in a lot of ways. It was also humanizing and stimulating, with Gottlieb going to delicate lengths to highlight how we all have issues we're working through, whether we're conscious of them or not, and regardless of our age, gender, social standing, or occupation. She gives readers a better understanding of how mental/emotional health infiltrates our lives in general and why it can benefit us to seek therapy when we need it. Or want it.
There was something lovely about the way the author lifted the veil of therapy, destigmatizing it as well as demystifying what it means and how it can feel to go through the process. I appreciated her honesty, the realness and rawness of emotion. Not just when it came to the patients she was treating, either - but also the confusing highs and lows, the setbacks and breakthroughs, the blurred emotional lines she experienced in her own therapy sessions with Wendell. I liked the therapist/patient duality of this, especially. It evened the playing field in a way that underlined what it means to feel and love and hurt as a human, and how we're all out here trying our best to cope, to grow, and maybe even to heal.
All in all, this was a funny, compassionate, and poignant book that encourages mental health awareness/acceptance and doing what we can to better understand ourselves. I'd definitely recommend picking it up!
3/5 stars

I explain to her that even in the best possible relationship, you're going to get hurt sometimes, and no matter how much you love somebody, you will at times hurt that person, not because you want to, but because you're human.

Not speaking about something doesn't make it less real. It makes it scarier.

“What people don’t like to think about is that you can do everything right […] and still get the short end of the stick. And when that happens, the only control you have is how you deal with that stick - your way, not the way others say you should.” - Maybe You Should Talk To Someone, Lori Gottlieb
