  • Learning to do our Heartwork with Andrew Henry, LPC [Episode 150]
    Apr 14 2025
    Andrew Henry LPC and Paul Krauss MA LPC recently met to talk about Andrew's new book "Heartwork"which is now available on Apple Books. From Andrew: Heartwork is a journey within to tap into vital resources for today! I want to thank Paul for narrating this section for me, I suffer from ALS which effects my vocal cords and makes it difficult for me to talk for long periods of time. Thank you Paul for helping me get the word out about my new book: Heartwork. Many counselors treat depression and anxiety by attempting to locate the root cause and process those feelings. While there is nothing per say wrong with this approach, I submit there is a kinder and self-validating way to calm the worry mind, while boosting the higher reasoning. My book demonstrates six case studies which use my Heartwork technique from many different walks of life over the last 1.5 to 2 years. Heartwork is currently available on Apple Books. I am available for comments, and/or questions at counselingbyandrew@gmail.com Get involved with the National Violence Prevention Hotline: 501(c)(3) DonateShare with your networkWrite your congresspersonSign our Petition Preview an Online Video Course for the Parents of Young Adults (Parenting Issues)Unique and low cost learning opportunities through Shion Consulting Paul Krauss MA LPC is the Clinical Director of Health for Life Counseling Grand Rapids, home of The Trauma-Informed Counseling Center of Grand Rapids.
