Her clients are lucky to have her voice dispensing these words, and now the rest of us are, too. –Meg Wolitzer, New York Times bestselling author of The InterestingsA magical guide to conquering our fears, phobias and emotional pain! With a warm and affirming tone that conveys, I get it! , Lisa Ferentz shares years of accumulated wisdom grounded in research but communicated as if she and the reader were simply sitting side-by-side, deep in conversation –Janina Fisher, PhD, author of Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma SurvivorsI absolutely love this book! A resource for people wanting to heal into the possibilities embodied in their present-day life, Lisa offers solid information and practices to free oneself from old patterns and behaviors. The questions at the end of each chapter deepen the reader s ability to recognize and experience what has held them back while also pointing them towards the healing that is available and possible in their current life. I recommend this book not only for individuals who seek to heal but also for clinicians who want solid and useful tools they can use with their clients and for their own personal growth. –Nancy J Napier, MA, LMFT, author of Recreating Your Self, Getting Through the Day, and Sacred Practices for Conscious LivingI know Lisa Ferentz to be a very wise and talented therapist so it is not surprising that the wisdom culled from her long career would be simple but profound.
