Welcome To Bipolar Coaching
Welcome,
my name is Samantha Smirin.
Author of “Life Interrupted – A Bipolar Memoir” and bipolar coach driven to assist those living with bipolar and their supporters.
36 years ago, just after being diagnosed with bipolar, I began a life of shame hiding myself from the world. I got lost in dangerous corridors of denial and loathed who I seemed to have become.
36 years later I am a bipolar coach and publicly disclosed, unashamed, stable and happy and working tirelessly to help people affected by bipolar. I started my work by publishing my acclaimed book “Life Interrupted – A Bipolar Memoir”. PLEASE NOTE: The store is currently inactive on this site. Kindly make contact if you wish to purchase the book. Thank you.
"Life Interrupted - A Bipolar Memoir"
I decided it was time to write a very honest story about Bipolar. A story from someone who lived it, not someone who studied it.
I am here to be of service to two groups of clients
- People living with bipolar who are experiencing a hopeless and undependable life and seeking ways to manage their lives.
- Family members and loved ones of people living with bipolar who are experiencing anxiety and confusion.
My unique positioning is that I am not a psychologist or a psychiatrist. Rather I am a person living with bipolar who has 30 years of facing this often devastating illness.
I offer my decades of lived bipolar experience ensuring genuine empathy, reassurance and evidence that bipolar can be managed so as to thrive in life.
I have experienced personal transformation resulting in a thriving, well chosen life.
I care because I’ve been there.
