Mental Health Mission: The Unusual Way One Mother Saved Her Daughter’s Life - Episode 70


Listen Later

Brenda and Faith Ferber are a mother-daughter duo determined to smash the stigma against mental illness.

Brenda recently wrote an article on HuffPost with the title: “My Daughter Told Me She Wanted To Die. To Save Her Life, I Gave Her Permission To End It. The subtitle of that article is "There'd Be No Stopping Faith...if we could get her to adulthood alive.”

Faith is now a full fledged adult who is a licensed master social worker and therapist. She says that her adolescence was a tough one, marked by self-harm, sexting and attempted suicide, but she not only survived, she thrived.

How did her mom, Brenda, an award-winning author and crisis counselor, bravely make that statement and support Faith during those challenging years?

We’re discussing all, including Faith and Brenda’s journey through mental illness, including the power of energy healing, and their mission to help others live their most fulfilling lives.
