About the Author

Barbara Stone, PhD, DCEP, is a workshop presenter, public speaker, and psychotherapist in private practice, fluent in both English and Spanish. The topic of healing is very close to her heart, as she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1991. Her first book, Cancer As Initiation: Surviving the Fire (1994, Open Court Publishing Company) is the autobiographical account of her holistic approach to recovery from this illness. After recovering from cancer, her clinical work took an unexpected turn as clients began to bring past life trauma into the therapy office. Since nothing in her education taught her how to deal with these issues, she searched the literature base and sought help from colleagues. Her new book Invisible Roots (2008, Energy Psychology Press), is the result of her phenomenological research into these unseen realms and the innovative protocols she developed to help free her clients. Dr. Stone studied depth psychology at the C. G. Jung Institute in Zurich, Switzerland, and holds a PhD in Clinical Psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute. She is an Adjunct Professor at Hocking College’s Holistic Health and Wellness program, served on the Board of Directors for The Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology (ACEP) and is an Approved Certification Consultant and Diplomate, Comprehensive Energy Psychology.
