For over 30 years, I have helped thousands of clients release pain and self-defeating patterns and blossom into their talents, building freer and fuller lives. You get clearer how hurtful history affects you, and how automatic reactions keep you in an endless-feedback-loop, making it hard to escape the past. You'll learn the real purpose of self-criticism and how to work with your brain-functions
more effectively to make change. I also teach you specific Energy Dynamics techniques that enable you work through old patterns, develop new skills, and a new outlook on life. From Hurt to Joy will help you deal with anxiety and pain and protect yourself from troublesome people effectively. It will teach you how to feel confident and self-supportive, to embrace your strengths, and to build the life you were meant to live on your own terms. The methods are a unique synergy of Energy Medicine, Oriental Medicine, and traditional Western and positive psychology. The theoretical basis of my work parallels Buddhist psychology on many levels. I draw on 30 years experience with clients, my own history, and lots and lots of research. The Energy Dynamics skills in this book work whether you’ve been hurt physically or emotionally, whether it was a traumatic or more usual upset involving hurt, loss, confusion, overwhelm, or any other dilemma. They can also help you enhance your self-awareness and well-being and evolve as a human being. No matter how much suffering has been piled on top of it, joy is lurking deeply within all of us. When you resolve old pain, and uncovering your joy, you can then build the habits that change the foundation of your life.
