Psychotherapist Releases Book About Her Experiences with Clients and Therapy
New York, NY, December 29, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Author and counselor, Amanda Stuart is pleased to announce the promotion of her book, The Longest Journey. This work explores the experience in counseling of a number of the author's ex-clients.
Relationship difficulties, anxiety and depression are common triggers for men and women to seek counseling. Amanda Stuart describes how for many clients it becomes clear in counseling that old wounds - neglect, hurt and anger - are at the heart of the presenting problem, often decades later. She decided to write The Longest Journey to highlight the effect of buried pain, which often links to childhood. The author interviewed a number of ex-clients to understand what had changed in their lives as a result of counseling. Their experiences include sensitive issues - abuse and the suicide of a parent - topics still taboo in our society. Clients were aware of significant change. Relationships were easier and they felt happier.
The book has been well received by professionals, psychologists and counselors, as well as people interested in healing their lives.
Recent Praise:
“The Longest Journey takes the reader into the intimate space of counseling and psychotherapy. The author’s clients describe how their lives were explored, pain experienced, insights gained and the way new and more positive pathways became possible in their lives. Anyone considering therapy will find this book beneficial, as will psychologists, psychotherapists and social workers.” - Dr Coral Brown, Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society, Assistant Director, The Cairnmillar Institute
