The Heart Is My Beat - Inside the Work and Life of a Psychotherapist

Have you ever wondered what really goes on in psychotherapy? What a therapist thinks while the client is pouring out all those feelings? What kind of person is drawn to doing this work, and what life experiences go into the making of a therapist? In these stories and essays, Dr.Bernstein reveals some of the answers to those questions. With warmth, humor and humanity, he will take you inside the office (and the life) of a psychotherapist and candidly share a lifetime spent unraveling the mysteries of his clients, as well as the challenges he has faced on his journey to becoming a healer. In pulling back the curtain and sharing his stories, Dr. Bernstein illuminates what is meaningful about doing therapy, and being in it, and most of all, what is so beautiful, heartbreaking, absurd and glorious about pursuing this privileged profession.
