Your therapist isn’t there to solve your problems for you. Here’s how to make the most of your 45-minute therapy session

I've been reading Lori Gottlieb’s Maybe You Should Talk to Someone. In short, it’s a memoir from a therapist about everything she’s learned in therapy (ironic, right?). 

It gives a raw look at her patients—how they move through loss, loneliness, and fraught relationships. It reminds us how delicate life is, the myriad of emotions we possess, and how we all want to feel a sense of belonging and often get lost along the way. It also reminds us that therapists are people, too. Ultimately, it got me thinking much more about what we do in therapy.
