Dear Therapists with Lori Gottlieb and Guy Winch

Encore: S03 Ep 13 - Melanie’s Difficult Mother

This week we’re in session with Melanie, who wonders if it’s possible to interact with her mother in adulthood in a way that won’t cause so much pain.   If you have a dilemma you’d like to discuss with us—big or small—email us at LoriAndGuy@iHeartMedia.com.   Follow us both online:   LoriGottlieb.com and on Twitter @LoriGottlieb1 and Instagram @lorigottlieb_author   GuyWinch.com and on Twitter @GuyWinch and Instagram @Guy Winch   Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.

I’m Lori Gottlieb, author of Maybe You Should Talk To Someone. And I’m Guy Winch, author of Emotional First Aid. We’re both advice columnists, TED speakers, and of course therapists in clinical practice who want to bring the lessons of the therapy room outside the therapy room… to all of you. Each week on DEAR THERAPISTS, we invite you to be a fly-on-the-wall in these personal, raw, transformative sessions with everyday people and then hear what happens when we give concrete, actionable advice and have them report back to let us know how things went after the session ended. We’re sharing these real sessions because we believe that everyone can benefit from hearing how people just like them get through their struggles and grow and change. So sit back and come into the therapy room with us… and prepare to learn a lot about yourself in the process.
