In the initial writing phase of the book I would also like to thank those who encouraged me to plow on, in spite of the deep fog I found myself in at times. Particu- larly Crystal Allinott, an individual and group therapist, who acted like a cheerleader, waving the flags when the hill was steep. Thank you to Hai Nguyen, who enthusiastically took on the role of photographer and helped to capture all of the tools so well. Thank you to all the indigenous and Western healers I have met on my own path to healing who have shown me a dizzying array of alternative methods to talk therapy, and who through their skills encouraged me to keep expanding my ideas of “what works.” Thank you always to my family and friends who every day provide the bedrock so that I can reach higher and farther—I am ever grateful for your love and support. ix 1122__118844__QQuuiinnnn..iinnddbb iixx 55//1144//1122 11::4466 PPMM
