SUZANNE CHESSLER
Special to the Jewish News

I

f Martha Stewart sought
c ounseling from area psychol-
ogist Sonya Friedman, the
response would explore how
to bring something positive out of a
bad situation.
Although Friedman might feel that
Stewart's treatment was unfair in
light of more serious

charges facing other execu-
tives, the psychologist
would attempt to turn her
away from a path of feel-
ing victimized.
That's the general mes-
sage Friedman presents in
her latest book, Take It

eight years on CNN.
The psychologist, who earned
master and doctoral degrees from
Wayne State University, is schedul-
ing speaking engagements related to
her latest book, and the schedule
will be on her Web site,
www. sonyafriedman. corn.
She recently discussed some of
what she presents before audiences
with the Detroit Jewish News:

From Here: How to Get
From Where You Are to
Where You Want to Be
(Kensington; $22).
"If Martha Stewart goes
to jail, she can be helpful
to a lot of women there if
she chooses to be,"
Friedman says. "If she
keeps saying she has been
falsely accused, it's not
going to help her get
through this process in a
way that is cathartic for
her.
"Whether in jail or out,
she has an opportunity to
do a lot for other people
and take a look within
herself. We can all become Dr. Sonya Friedman: Change is choice.

ourselves as others see us and then
