I first came across Lori Gottlieb\u2019s work when I read \u201cMaybe You Should Talk to Someone,\u201d her funny, candid memoir written from both sides of the couch \u2014 as a psychotherapist working with patients, and as a person undergoing therapy herself.<\/p>\n

I was struck by her original voice, her wit and her ability to be vulnerable on the page. So I was thrilled when I found out that she\u2019d be writing an advice column for Well called \u201cAsk the Therapist,\u201d tackling reader questions about life\u2019s difficulties. Her first column was just published<\/a>; look for future installments twice monthly. (You can sign up to get it in your inbox<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

I called Gottlieb, who is also a host of the \u201cDear Therapists<\/a>\u201d podcast, and asked her to share some of the best advice she had gleaned from her 15 years of clinical practice. She told me she wanted people to think of their mental well-being as \u201chealth, and not as a separate entity.\u201d Some of her patients, she said, \u201cwait until they\u2019re having the equivalent of an emotional heart attack \u2014 and then they come in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her tips from the front lines are below.<\/p>\n
