Psychotherapist Thom Rutledge
I began writing a different book called "From Fear to Faith" when anxiety had taken me down for the count. I decided to write my way out of it. For three years, I did everything I could to heal from the inside out and show the world how to do it, naturally. This book will be published later this year. It is my story of the triumphs, and the falls. The things I did in great detail to heal. And the book ended with a super happy ending truly believing that I had done it. That Ｉhad healed on my own from root to tip and that anxiety was now a thing of the past.
It was a certain situation in my life that brought me way back down to a place that I never imagined I would be in. It was at that time that I gave up my fight. I surrendered and told my mother that I needed help and at this point, had no idea which way to go. At that time I began reading a book called "Embracing Fear" by Thom Rutledge. While reading the book, I decided to get on the computer and write this guy a letter. I told him that I was reading his book, but it probably wouldn't help either, that I had tried everything imaginable and nothing helped anymore. I told him that I was a big phony, and a big fat liar for writing a book that wasn't true.
To my happy surprise, he wrote me back that very next day. He asked me what my big fear was in taking medication? He told me that the brain is an organ, and if it were any other organ in my body, like my liver or my heart that I would have no problem taking medicine to help it get healthy. He told me that I would do well to face my fear of medication and understand that sometimes we need medical intervention to get our brains back in balance. Just face my fears. It was because of what he wrote to me that day, and the way that he explained it that I went to my doctor and gave it a try.
My life has forever changed because of taking this chance. It just so happened to be what worked for me, and I never would have tried it if not for Thom. Everyone else that I had in my life that I went to for healing was opposed to anything that wasn't natural. I had never had it explained to me like that before. And, I took the leap.
Since that time, Thom and I have become friends. He has helped me many times along the way, including writing the foreward for my new and improved manuscript "From Fear to Faith" and he also endorsed another book of mine Awaken: to Expanded Consciousness. His support and wisdom has helped me so much in these last years. I am forever grateful for Thom Rutledge.
I hope that you all read his book as well. It is wonderful and insightful. He also has "Thom's nutshell wisdom" on line and in groups. He is funny, smart and open to all options of healing. He is a psychotherapist and a darn good one at that! See what you get from meeting this guy, or reading what he has to say!
