About the Author
Alyson Quinn is what I call a life coach. Her book is an easy to read, excellent guide through the difficulties [we experience] on our journey through life. . . . Read, learn, and make your journey through life a more meaningful and pleasant experience. — Bernie Siegel, MD, author of A Book of Miracles and Faith: Hope and Healing
This is a book steeped in the wisdom of a seasoned clinician. . . . Alyson provides deep yet immediately accessible meditations on our emotions, what keeps us from them, and how we can reconnect with them. — Geoff Michell, MA, psychotherapist
As a social worker and clinical therapist with thirty years’ experience, I found Reclaim Your Soul: Your Path to Healing a ‘must read’ for everyone. Ms. Quinn’s skills at expressing the emotional ills of our modern Western culture makes the reader explore his/her own life. The pathway to self-actualization makes us face ourselves in a heightened and new way. . . . Her book comes at an opportune time for all of us to sit up, take notice, become self-aware, and make some changes to become whole again.— Illa Gibson, MSW, CCR
Heal Trauma does a lovely job of helping readers understand trauma reactions and how they can process those reactions within the context of the many 21st-century factors that can make this difficult. This is a practical and accessible resource for clinicians and clients alike.
— Daniel W. Cox, Nevison Professor of Counselling Psychology, University of British Columbia
