Of Two Minds is a deeply personal exploration of bipolar disorder, addiction, motherhood, and recovery—told through three intertwined perspectives: living with bipolar disorder, working as a therapist, and parenting a teenage daughter facing the same diagnosis.
With honesty and vulnerability, Katherine shares her experiences with mood instability, substance use, toxic relationships, shame, healing, and twelve years of sobriety. She also reveals the heartbreak and helplessness of watching her daughter struggle with mania, offering a rare perspective on what bipolar disorder can look like from both sides.
Blending lived experience with professional insight, Of Two Minds gives readers a compassionate and unfiltered look at the realities of mental illness while reminding them that a diagnosis does not erase the possibility of healing, connection, or hope. This book is for anyone living with bipolar disorder, loving someone who is struggling, recovering from addiction, or trying to find their way back to themselves.
