Personal Growth / Spiritual Growth

Many of us are unsure of who we are or what we want out of life.  Some of us have a strong sense of purpose, but we feel blocked, disconnected or just unable to take steps on our own behalf.

These and other personal challenges can lead to mental confusion, emotional discomfort, physical symptoms and, if left unaddressed, serious diseases. 

We all carry some baggage and tend to identify with it:

• society's or other people's demands; our own unrealistic expectations...
• stored or unprocessed shocking and challenging experiences, traumatic experiences ...
• hurts, disappointments, grief, shame, resentment...
• self-protective barriers, self-defeating behaviors, limiting beliefs...

But it is not necessary to keep re-experiencing all the 'drama'.  Personal growth (and healing) come from gaining perspective - getting the positive lessons from experiences so you can release the emotions and forgive yourself and others.   This allows more of the Real You to shine out.

"Things that previously mattered in a negative manner and were hurtful tor me -  over time become less aggravating and sometimes even got so much smaller that I forget they were a previous problem.  And built into my healing sessions, Laurie has offered ideas and  directions where I might head in my career - always insightful and on the mark, and suggestions that I would never have thought of on my own.  She's great.  I highly recommend her services."
