PRESS RELEASE
Dr. Laura Berman Announces
Transformational New Book: Crying Out Loud
[Los Angeles, CA] — When the tragic death of Dr. Laura Berman’s sixteen-year-old son, Sammy, made national headlines in 2021, millions of Americans watched a grieving mother speak out about the hidden dangers facing children online. Now, years later, Dr. Berman is sharing the deeper story of what it means to live through unimaginable loss in her powerful new book, Crying Out Loud: A Path Through Grief to a Life Reimagined.
In Crying Out Loud, the internationally recognized therapist, media personality, and New York Times bestselling author offers a compassionate and deeply personal guide for navigating life after devastating loss. Drawing on more than three decades of clinical experience, along with her own journey as a bereaved mother, Dr. Berman explores how grief reshapes us at every level; emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
Rather than encouraging readers to silence or “move past” grief, Crying Out Loud invites them to meet it honestly and compassionately. Through practical tools, relatable stories, and powerful insights, the book shows how grief, when supported and expressed, can become a path toward deeper love, meaning, and connection.
Combining clinical psychology, somatic healing practices, and spiritual insight, Dr. Berman offers readers a roadmap for navigating loss while discovering new sources of strength and purpose.
Part therapeutic guide, part personal story, and part spiritual exploration, Crying Out Loud helps readers:
- Understand how grief lives in the body and nervous system
• Process overwhelming emotions without becoming stuck in them
• Find support, connection, and community in the healing journey
• Maintain meaningful bonds with loved ones who have passed
Crying Out Loud is an invitation to move through grief with honesty and courage—and to discover that love continues even after unimaginable loss.

She’s appeared in almost every news and daytime talk outlet and women’s magazine, and has hosted several television shows on OWN, Showtime, and Discovery.

Today she combines her clinical expertise and lived experience to guide people in creating lives filled with connection, resilience, and love.
Long Bio
My journey into this work was born both from passion and from pain. On February 7, 2021, my world shattered when my beloved son, Sammy, died at sixteen from fentanyl poisoning, delivered to him by a dealer he met on Snapchat. Walking through the fire of that unimaginable grief has changed me forever. I know what it is to have your heart broken open, to feel like you cannot go on, and to slowly find your way toward light again. Out of that heartbreak has come a deeper calling: to help others not only move through loss, but grow through it with grace and courage.
Before this chapter of my life, I had already devoted more than three decades to helping people live fuller, more authentic lives. I earned two Master’s degrees and a PhD from New York University and became known as one of the most recognized sex and relationship therapists in the world. For years, I guided people as the resident expert on The Oprah Winfrey Show, hosted a five-day-a-week live call-in show on Oprah Radio, and launched two television programs on OWN (In the Bedroom with Dr. Laura Berman and The Dr. Laura Berman Show). I also hosted Showtime’s Sexual Healing and Discovery Health’s Berman and Berman, wrote nine books including a New York Times bestseller, and appeared on countless news and daytime programs, as well as in nearly every major women’s magazine.

Now, my work brings all of this together. My decades of expertise as a therapist, author, and media personality meet the lived truth of a grieving mother who has been through the fire. I am here to offer guidance, compassion, and practical tools for anyone who is navigating grief, trauma, or relationship struggles. If you are seeking healing, love, and a renewed sense of connection, you are in the right place.
