47. How Can I Find My Authentic Self and Embrace Healing? With Lori Gottlieb

In life, change — even positive change — is hard, and sometimes we inhibit our own healing. In those moments, it’s helpful when someone breaks us out of harmful narratives and patterns. For years, author and therapist Lori Gottlieb has done just that — helping patients access therapy to gain new understandings of their lives. In her written work, she brings readers into therapy sessions and demystifies the process for anyone who has doubts about seeking a therapist. Lori tells Claire what her first therapy experience was like and describes how she navigates writing about her own personal struggles.
