Professional Patient
As a psychologist and an individual with mental health problems, Leesa Abbott knows first-hand how difficult both of these can be. During her career, she has worked in prisons, schools, private mental health clinics, and universities. As a patient, she's been on medications, therapy couches, and mental health wards. Using life-events to show her decline into mental illness, Professional Patient illuminates an all-too-common tragedy . . . a denial of mental health issues and avoidance of help from outsiders. From significant traumas, to anorexia, substance abuse, anxiety attacks, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and facing bipolar disorder, this memoir uncovers her lifelong struggle to survive on both sides of mental illness. The secrecy, shame, stigma, and every emotion in between that she has felt are unveiled in this intriguing look at dealing with mental illness while treating others at the same time.
Dreams Like Mine
Dreams Like Mine is a powerful collection of poetry about love, loss, isolation, and strength in the face of suffering.

This collection of poems exquisitely illustrates the difficulty and intensity of facing one's demons, shame, and secrecy. They offer a provocative glimpse inside the mind of an individual struggling with grief, trauma, depression, and stigma. Despite the dark imagery some of the poems conjure, they often transcend these painful shadows into messages of hope, inspiration, and healing. They have a distinctive ability to evoke tears as well as courage and valor during life's obstacles.
