Renowned psychologist Dr Beth-Anne Blue is getting out of her chair and onto her own "couch," so to speak. That's right, she's doing therapy with herself. For the first time in her life, she's turning her musings inward, shifting the focus from others to her own journey. And this book? Consider it an open invitation to join her. A writer at heart, Dr. Blue has spent over two decades as a clinical psychologist, licensed in three states, guiding others through their stories, while quietly tucking away her own. Now, she fully embraces her inner scribe, bring those long-buried pages - thoughts, insights, and raw moments - to life for you to read. "Pearls and Purse Straps" is a deeply personal collection of anecdotes, a fusion of wisdom and vulnerability, penned by a storyteller who finally has something to say. The book is broken down by chapters or "stories" from the author's life, each finishing with a prescriptive moral that hopefully resonates with all readers.
