with Ruth Fearnow
Love Offering
Ruth Fearnow is a therapist, author and speaker. Her first book is Therapeutic Mindfulness: a Healing Skill, Not a Coping Skill. This book has embedded the factors necessary for healing into a learnable skill.
Ruth's private journey began as a young woman when she found herself studying kung fu and qi gong in Dengfeng City, China, the home of the famous Shaolin Temple. It was there she began a serious meditation practice. While this skill takes years to develop, this was her first big step to understanding mindfulness practices.
Ruth's evolution into a trauma therapist has enabled her to synthesize age-old wisdom with trauma-informed insight and create the process of therapeutic mindfulness which she practices personally, and teaches to her clientele, many of whom use it on their own. Therapeutic mindfulness has now been adopted for professional use by colleagues in the mental health field.
Ruth is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) practitioner. When not working or spreading the word of Therapeutic Mindfulness, Ruth enjoys singing, community theater and time with her wonderful family.
