Susie’s Take: My conversation with Brenda & Faith Ferber
When I first saw the title of the article “My Daughter Told Me She Wanted To Die. To Save Her Life, I Gave Her Permission To End It,” (https://www.huffpost.com/entry/daughter-suicidal-ideation-radical-love_n_6445b04ae4b011a819c21a54) I was taken aback. But then I read it, and I knew I wanted to interview the author, Brenda Ferber (https://brendaferber.com/). I was overjoyed when Brenda responded to my request and also wanted to include her daughter, Faith, in our conversation.
Don’t miss this extremely candid conversation with this amazing mother/daughter duo where they talk about Faith ideating suicide at the age of 9, some of her significant acting-out behaviors, and getting an accurate diagnosis after trying a myriad of treatments and therapies. Learn about Faith’s journey to wellness and how she has used her personal mental health battle to help others as a Licenced Master Social Worker and Trauma Informed Therapist (https://www.vivapartnership.com/our-clinicians/faith-ferber-lmsw-lgsw-msw/).
