NEW! THE BIPOLAR THERAPIST
When a sudden onset of manic episodes lands her in a psychiatric ward, what is an established, respected psychotherapist to do? With an otherwise firm sense of self and an openness to new insights, Berger confronts the stumbling blocks of shame and stigma. A series of close friends and mentors stand by her through challenges with abusive colleagues, conflicted relationships with men, estrangement from her mother, and confusion about what truly matters.
The Bipolar Therapist is the only memoir that shows a complete recovery from bipolar disorder and describes how the author’s times as a psychiatric inpatient influenced her work positively as a psychotherapist serving psychiatric and alcoholic inpatients. Berger’s story hinges upon resilience, perseverance, drive, and courage.

“ART OF MANLINESS” HOST VETS MARRIAGE MEETINGS
Brett McKay and I talked about marriage meetings on his “Art of Manliness” show.
He says that after reading Marriage Meetings for Lasting Love, “My wife and I have regularly been doing marriage meetings for a few years now, and it’s been a powerful practice in our marriage. So thank you for your work.”
Past guests on this show have included everyone from celebrities like Arianna Huffington, Tony Robbins, Malcolm Gladwell, academics and authors/researchers, and business folks. I’m honored to be included!
GETTING TO KNOW YOU
“There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self,” said Ben Franklin.
It’s natural to hold on to a romantic view of ourselves or to just see ourselves as other people define us. Self-understanding is a lifelong challenge. It brings countless rewards in relationships in realizing your dreams.
Therapy helps you to be honest with yourself in a climate of understanding, compassion, and acceptance.
DEBUNKING MARRIAGE MYTHS
“…there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”
---Shakespeare (Hamlet)
If your partner tells you, “We have a problem,” does your chest tighten? Do you forget to breathe? Do you jump to the conclusion that something is terribly wrong with the two of you as a couple, so wrong that it may be impossible to fix?
