Barb Ryan, a counselor for 25 years, worked mostly with survivors
of sexual abuse, domestic violence and those with PTSD. She guided
her clients to heal from the inside out - to gently let go of
self-judgment and transform their thoughts to more positive,
hopeful possibilities. Her focus was to help people love
themselves, redirect their thoughts and release all negative
beliefs.
A pivotal moment came to Barb, as she recalled the experience, "One
day my inner voice directed me on how to help people let go of the
old stories and be willing to spiral toward joy. Therapy did not
have to take a long time. It involved a desire to learn how to let
go of what no longer served them, and to take the richness of life
they deserved." That began her happiness work. And now she is
referred to as the Guidess of Happiness and her focus is on being a
life coach. In 2009 she became a Happiness Coach and formed
Spiraling Toward Joy in 2010.
Barb's life philosophy is that personal issues reveal themselves to
be healed - not cured, but healed. Healing is to love, integrate
and transform the pain in some way. That is the basis for the story
Love Loves Fear.
Barb lives in the peace and beauty of the Pacific Northwest. She
has raised three daughters and is soon expecting her sixth
grandchild.
This book is also available in Spanish. The title is El Amor Ama El
