In this episode, Dr. Harry Henshaw explores the powerful ethical vision found in Louise Hay’s writings, especially You Can Heal Your Life and The Power Is Within You.

In this episode, Dr. Harry Henshaw introduces Transformation Counseling, a groundbreaking philosophy that shifts the focus of mental health and addiction recovery away from powerlessness and disease models, and toward empowerment, responsibility, and self-love.

Drawing from decades of clinical experience and inspired by the works of Albert Ellis, Louise Hay, and Maxwell Maltz, Dr. Henshaw explains why negative self-image—not substances—is the true cause of addictive behaviors and mental health struggles.

Listeners will learn:

• The difference between self-esteem and self-image—and why this distinction changes everything.

This episode is both a call to action and a guide for anyone seeking true healing, whether for themselves, loved ones, or within the counseling profession. Transformation Counseling is not just a therapy method—it is a philosophy of life that reclaims the truth of who we are.

Episode Notes: In this episode, Dr. Harry Henshaw explores the philosophy of Transformation and its life-changing implications for addiction recovery and personal growth.
