In "Claiming My Light," author and therapist Laurie Teixeira turns the focus on herself and retraces her footsteps from early childhood. Her experiences helped her to gain insight into how family dynamics can leave us with unresolved issues. Stories of her personal challenges-and heartwarming triumphs-are told in ways that reveal how her thoughts and feelings shaped who she is today. She discovers how she was meant to use her voice to connect and assist those who are ready to do their healing work and spread their own message of light. This is the second book in Laurie's series, "In Search of Meaning: Healing Trauma through Conversations, Connections and Spirituality," a collection of real-life stories that document her observations and personal transformations from her clinical practice and the clients who teach her every day.
