When I Stopped Directing Traffic, the Lights Turned Green

As a result of her need to 'Direct Traffic," Sheila finds herself in many unfavorable situations. After a harrowing experience involving a sociopath, Sheila seeks safety by turning to practicing metaphysics. Due to an unforeseen spiritual overload she spirals into psychosis. For the next eight weeks, anti-psychotics are involuntarily administered to her-that exacerbate her condition.

Throughout Sheila's journey she experiences a multitude of metaphysical and mortal events. She surrenders her control to God, and embraces that 'Everything happens for a reason." Against all medical odds, she attends graduate school. Hers is a story of survival, conviction, empowerment, and infinite determination.

Today New York native Sheila M. Cooperman works as a licensed psychotherapist and hypnotherapist in South Florida. She is also a skilled psychometrist who can psychically channel information by holding jewelry or photographs.
