Author, The Bipolar Therapist: A Journey From Madness to Love and Meaning
This week, Ira spoke with Marcia Naomi Berger, author of The Bipolar Therapist: A Journey From Madness to Love and Meaning. In this therapeutic episode of “Ira’s Everything Bagel,” Marcia talks about her first manic episode; why it took three hospitalizations before she realized she needed help; how after her hospitalizations, her colleagues interacted with her with, in some cases, a lack of acceptance; how her illness helped her become more compassionate towards her clients ; why he did not lose her confidence being able to help people; how having a sense of humor is crucial to get through life and helps her in her work; the importance of mentors; and writing the book so people who read it don’t feel alone with their mental illness.
