Our June Book of the Month is... Because We Are Bad by Lily Bailey, recommended by Small Brooklyn therapist Dr. Caroline Carberry.
📚📚📚
Dr. Caroline says: “Because We Are Bad is a moving memoir by Lily Bailey, offering an intimate look at what it's really like to live with OCD. Written from her own lived experience, Lily brings warmth and honesty to a condition often misunderstood or reduced to stereotypes about cleanliness and organization.
This book is a wonderful read for anyone who wants to better understand the inner world of OCD and approach it with more empathy. It challenges common misconceptions and opens the door to richer, more compassionate conversations about mental health and neurodivergence. Whether you're personally familiar with OCD or simply want to show up better for someone who is, Because We Are Bad is a meaningful and eye-opening place to start!”
