125: Growing in Connection with Others with Lori Gottlieb

On Episode 125 of You, Me, Empathy, therapist and New York Times bestselling author, Lori Gottlieb and I explore having compassion and empathy for ourselves first, operating out of fear or love, society not accepting vulnerability in men, compassion without forgiveness, Lori’s amazing book, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, and how we grow in connection with others.

In this shorter episode, Lori and I get right to it and talk about her New York Times bestseller, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. We talk about how you can’t grow without having compassion for yourself, feeling alone in our experiences, and why the book doesn’t necessarily mean we should all go to therapy; it means we should talk more with each other.

We also gab about fear and love, control, men and their feelings, cultural norms we internalize then allow to seep into our interpersonal relationships, listening as part of empathy, and why you don’t need to forgive a person to have compassion for them. Plus, look out for Maybe You Should Talk to Someone as a tv show! And a new podcast coming soon from Lori!
