Kathryn interviews Author Author Sara Glass PhD LCSW. With honesty and courage NYTimes Modern Love contributor -Please God Help Me Stop Missing Her- Dr. Sara Glass tells her coming-of-age, awakening and survivor story. As a teen growing up in the small, insular Gur Hasidic sect in Borough Park, Brooklyn she had accepted her calling as a servant of God: to become a dutiful wife and bear children. Still, she had questions. Hardest of all was to understand why she so deeply and powerfully felt a love that she was taught to hate — love for someone of her own sex. She takes us inside the community and family in which she was raised, her two troubled marriages, and her struggles with shame, guilt and the dread of losing her children. We follow her through a hard-won divorce and her extraordinary journey to finding herself. Sara, therapist, writer and speaker, helps members of the queer community and individuals who have survived trauma to live bold, honest and proud lives.Kathryn also interviews Author Bill Eddy.When we think of bullies, most of us think of aggressive kids or teens who terrorize individuals they perceive as weaker. Yet, bullying isn’t relegated just to the schoolyard. On the contrary, adult bullies exist everywhere and run rampant in many families, workplaces, neighborhoods, political arenas, and organizations of all types and sizes. And in a media landscape where conflict, chaos, and fear reign supreme, we witness celebrities, politicians, and other public figures exhibiting some of the most egregious behavior. Bill Eddy — therapist, lawyer, mediator, and personality expert — reveals how adult bullies have infiltrated every aspect of our society and explains why we so often allow them to operate unchallenged. He is the author of over 20 books and manuals and has a popular blog on PsychologyToday.com.
