Peter Strisik, Ph.D.
Clinical Psychologist

In Sister Siren, Michaela shares a heartfelt, engaging, honest, and intensely personal story about addiction, family, love, persistence, and the roller coaster ride towards recovery for all involved. Making use of all the resources she could find, she invites us to take that ride with her and her family, implementing those resources with simultaneous strength and vulnerability as she learns, tries, grieves, despairs, and triumphs……. repeatedly. Joining her on the journey – if we allow ourselves the vulnerability to vicariously experience the disappointments, tragedies, victories, and joys – we are rewarded with greater understanding of addiction, the role it can play in the family crucible, self-discovery, and insights about our own families. In Sister Siren, Michaela opens a door for us that, once
we enter, there is no turning back, only going through.
