My Bio

Linda Appleman Shapiro
Having grown up as the daughter of immigrant parents with a mother who suffered from bouts of major depression, I felt compelled to share my life, not as a how-to manual, but rather as a way to describe a story which allows readers to experience how it is possible to survive years of trauma with the ability to forgive without forgetting and to move beyond pain with dignity and love. ~ I earned a B.A. in Literature from Bennington College, a Master's in Human Development/Counseling from the Bank Street College of Education, a Master Certification in Neuro-Linguistic Programming from the NY Institute for N.L.P and further certifications in Ericksonian Hypnosis and Substance Abuse/Addictions Counseling. ~~ I have been in private practice as a psychotherapist for more than 25 years and served as senior staff member at an outpatient facility for recovering addicts and their families. As an oral historian, I document lives of the elderly, presenting families with leather-bound volumes taken from hours of taped interviews, along with photos and memorabilia.
