This motivating and thought-provoking book takes you on a journey of what it means to show up for your life and live it with purpose. From my spouse’s journey through cancer, the adventures and misadventures of parenting, and lessons learned from tragedy, you will be taken through your own process of reflection and action steps to make new decisions for your life. Connect more deeply with yourself and others, and open yourself up to the bigger picture of your place in this world. Inspirational and poignant, this book is for anyone who wants to remove and let go of obstacles that are getting in the way of fully living.

Sharing stories of inspiration that highlight our common humanity and the ways we all influence and learn from one another, the authors address topics of intergenerational trauma and healing, self-betrayal, shame, adoption, addiction, rediscovering spirituality, and showing up authentically for life.

Working alongside therapists from around the world was an amazing experience where depth, change and connection happened and shines through in this collection.

The Healing Journey to Authenticity is a thought-provoking and inspirational collection of stories that highlight the reciprocal benefits of connection with others.

In this second book of the Reciprocity series, I worked with ten remarkable women from a variety of professions as they shared stories of personal awareness and growth discovered through their interactions with clients, family members, mentors, groups, and communities that have transformed their lives.

Alongside other Satir -trained therapists, I share my personal story about how the body is included in family therapy, trauma therapy, perinatal and infant therapy, dance and movement therapy, therapeutic applications of meditation, interactive sculpting and body-mind approaches to personal growth.

This whole person approach integrates the importance of the therapists' attention to the self of the client and therapist, congruence of actions and words, elements of pacing and observation of nonverbal cues in therapy, while engaging clients as full participants in the highly interactive therapeutic process.
