Lori Gottlieb is an established psychotherapist who encountered a break in relationship that overwhelmed her. She found it hard to endure the breakup and eventually took the funny option, consult a therapist for herself. In the year-long consulting process, Lori was taking therapy sessions for herself and consulted her own patients on the other side.  During the sessions, she understands that loss tends to be multilayered, actual loss is one part of it but what the loss represents is far more critical. A solution to the loss lies in completely acknowledging it’s representation, an aspect that’s easier said than done.  As the sessions progressed, Lori understood that the crux of many of her patients' issues happen to be reflected in her own life as well. A spark of thought that never occurred to her before undergoing therapy sessions herself.   Overall, the book walks a respective reader through the mental construct of Lori’s patients and her own self while drawing a lot of parallel
