The Path to Healing is a Spiral is one woman's emotional journey to heal her heart and deal with trauma and grief. Anna McKerrow's book is full of hope and practical advice for readers, as she explores different types of alternative therapies, including reiki, shamanic healing, past-life regression and breathwork. She has experienced several types of trauma during her life, including bereavement and chronic health conditions. Using personal stories and interviews with practitioners and experts, she aims to dispel myths about many of these unconventional therapies and the role they could play in someone's life. Her writing is honest in a chatty style, with her raw emotions leaping out of the page. She describes the alternative therapies in detail - including her experiences with the practitioners - and at times I felt as though I was in the room with her during the sessions. Not always an easy read, but certainly an interesting one.

About
The Path to Healing is a Spiral Synopsis
A SERIOUSLY FUNNY GUIDE TO HEALING EMOTIONAL PAIN
From screaming in a grey industrial estate, to sobbing along to Elton John with a room full of strangers, to gong baths (disastrous), reiki and angel healing, Anna McKerrow has tried everything to make sense of her grief. And somewhere on her long journey from shamanic healing to past life regression, witchcraft and BodyTalk, she found her way to real self-understanding and healing.
In this book Anna candidly, and often hilariously, shares her experiences and opens the door for anyone curious about alternative therapies to sample them with her. You will learn that being open to new things can help you acknowledge your pain, understand its root causes and learn to accept your feelings - and along the way discover non-traditional methods to heal your own emotional trauma.
