Faded Rainbows

About the Book

The journey of psychotherapy is a mysterious revelation of a client's sacred chronicles and erroneous assumptions about life.

Faded Rainbows allows the reader to experience the psychotherapeutic journeys of three clients, Caz, Noelle, and Bally. The difficult work of revealing their traumas and struggles, creates unexpected twists, resistance, and surprising discoveries.

Lisa's voyage of healing after her daughter's death impacts her work resulting in her seeking consultation from her fellow therapists. Her personal and spiritual revelations and healing allows the reader to understand her as a person, not just a therapist. Modeling her own journey of healing, she gently but tenaciously asks her clients to consider alternative ways of living their lives.
