Reseña del editor:

Loss is an unavoidable part of life—there are big losses that knock you to your knees, and small ones that just ruin your day. Some happen so often that we no longer notice them...we’ve become numb. Most of us never really acknowledge the losses we’ve endured, and never allow the emotions associated with them to surface. We try to be strong, or tell ourselves it doesn’t really matter. The truth is, it does matter. Unacknowledged and unresolved loss can impact your relationships, your work, your ability to feel happiness or realize your potential. It can lead to addiction, depression...even physical illness. But there is another way, a way to find the happiness you’ve been missing. In this simple but powerful book, you’ll learn to recognize the losses that are stealing your joy—including events you never recognized as loss, but that prevent you from being all you can be. You’ll discover how to release those difficult emotions safely, and find your way to the freedom and happiness you long for. “This wise book is an invaluable guide for anyone dealing with the far-reaching impact of unresolved loss—and that includes virtually everyone. None of us can avoid the losses that are an inevitable part of life. But too often we brush them aside because they hurt—and after all, we’re supposed to just “move on.” As a result, the pain persists, operating beneath the surface, leaving us vulnerable to all kinds of distress, unable to know real joy or realize our full potential. In 'From Lost to Found' Ginny Pizzardi offers a way out of this dilemma. Her warm, caring, insightful words will help every reader to uncover those unresolved losses and heal those old wounds at last. It’s a guidebook to joy, one I can recommend to all my clients, students, friends, and family.” –Jack Morin, Ph.D., Psychotherapist, Author, and Teacher “Ginny Pizzardi shares the importance of understanding and recognizing the losses each of us has endured. She offers personal comfort and validation, and provides us with a way to negotiate the journey of finding ourselves and, ultimately, finding enduring happiness and peace. Ginny is a master at getting to the core of the issues surrounding loss as she presents poignant case examples from her own practice as a therapist, and provides tools for self-healing that include journaling, creative visualization, meditation, and mindful awareness. This book offers something for everyone, in all stages of life, and leaves us feeling empowered to face our fears and reclaim our right to joy and happiness.” –Eileen F. Levy, Ph.D., Director, School of Social Work, San Francisco State University

Biografía del autor:

Ginny Pizzardi, M.S., M.F.T., has been a practicing psychotherapist since 1985. Her early professional experience dealt largely with families and survivors of family violence, abuse, addiction, and adoption, and her deep understanding of those issues continues to inform her work and her writing. As a therapist who has counseled hundreds of people struggling to resolve difficult issues, she finds that many people never recognize the component of loss inherent in the traumas they’ve faced, and therefore never grieve those losses to achieve final resolution. "From Lost to Found" was written to help make that journey complete. Ms. Pizzardi continues to work as a psychotherapist in private practice in San Francisco, California, and offers workshops and talks for organizations that support individuals dealing with a broad range of emotional challenges.
