I finished reading maybe you should talk to someone and I absolutely loved the book. It was light, entertaining and helped me take a good look inside of myself (and even inspired me to start therapy)
Any recommendations of similar style books? No novels please.

Following! That was such a great book!
I also read a book called Normal by Magda Newman which was also a great book. Very different but also based on a true story and very poignant and thought provoking.

I LOVED Maybe You Should Talk to Someone, did NOT love Group. OP just so you know there's a lot (a LOT) of cursing (I'm sure MYSTTS had some too, but I don't think at all on the same level) and a lot of really TMI s-x stuff. And I just didn't really feel like I gained anything from it or had any revelations. Could be different for you but just putting that out there!

Thanks, ladies! Have just ordered the Gottlieb one, looks great Thumbs Up

2 good mental-health-type books : "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig, and "My mess is a bit of a life" by Georgia Pritchett.

Finally got around to reading group and really enjoyed it! (although as some people said above, there was plenty of inappropriate sx information.)but I actually can relate to the author a LOT and it gave me what to think about.

If anyone has any other similar book recs, I'd love if you can post!

Love's Executioner by Irvin Yalom

Also there is a TV series called "In Treatment" you may like

Normal was very moving. How was it similar to the OP book?
