Ep. 1: Grief and Ep. 2: Bipolar Disorder

Kathryn interviews psychologist, grief expert and widow Sherry Cormier PhD, author of “Sweet Sorrow: Finding Enduring Wholeness After Loss and Grief”. When we lose someone, everything changes. Cormier explains why no one should expect a grieving person to “get over it and move on.” Formerly on the faculty at the University of Tennessee and West Virginia University, Cormier has co-written and co-produced more than 50 training videos for Cengage Learning. Kathryn also interviews Michael Pipich MS, LMFT, author of “Owning Bipolar: How Patients and Families Can Take Control of Bipolar Disorder”. About 350 million people worldwide suffer from bipolar disorder and that two-thirds of all people with bipolar are misdiagnosed. Pipich believes that’s a big reason why bipolar may account for about one-fourth of all suicides. Pipich breaks down bipolar disorder into understandable parts so patients and families know what to expect from diagnosis, treatment and long term management.
