Start from the bottom and work your way up: My Open Book is the podcast version of an intimate mental health centered blog, written by a seasoned psych receptionist serving north central Alabama. A single mother diagnosed as Bipolar at age 15 with history of mild & recurrent autistic traits, I got my foot in the door of the provider's side by starting as a housekeeper for a state funded mental health facility. Since then, I have majored in psychology, served as an activities director for geriatric residents & dementia patients, scribed provider notes & worked as the front desk receptionist.
