After over 40 years practicing psychotherapy and coaching, she had no intention of starting a new phase of her career. Then a colleague helped her resolve a persistent, stressful problem using an amazing new technique. She was astounded that he did it in just a few minutes, while standing on the sidewalk outside of a restaurant, using only words.

Dr. Weiss was so intrigued with this recently discovered tool that she and her husband of over 50 years, Dr. Jonathan B Weiss, went to Nova Scotia, Canada to learn the technique.
Using it, they were thrilled to help their clients make important life changes in a fraction of the time, and with a fraction of the pain ordinarily associated with psychotherapy.

Four years and considerable studying later, they became the only Certified Logosynthesis Practitioners and Basic Trainers in the United States.

Review

In clear, precise prose, Dr. Laurie Weiss makes the case for Logosynthesis, a tool for releasing psychic energy long bound up in stressful experiences. With strong supporting anecdotes, she introduces the reader to a deceptively simple method for enriching one's life. Fascinating.- Mike Keefe,Pulitzer Prize-Winning cartoonist (US) You have an absolute GEM In this sweet little book! I love it. I could not wait to use it! It is simple, to the point and makes the reader comfortable with using it. - Rhondda Hartman, R.N., M.A. Author, Natural Childbirth Exercises (US) I am struck by the clarity of your writing and the straightforward way you have organized and presented the material. I very much liked the step-by-step instruction! Your personal anecdotes made your own experience with Logo-synthesis more present and accessible. I am sure it will make a meaningful difference in the lives of many people. Bravo! - Foster Brashear, Designer, Electronic Systems and Devices (US) You have a very engaging writing style easy to read. Great case examples. THIS BOOK IS GOING TO BE A VERY IMPORTANT TOOL FOR SELF-COACHING. Many, many thanks. - Julie Jacinthe Arsenault, MSW Clinical Social Worker, Psychotherapist, Logosynthesis Practitioner (Canada) This book opens doors to stuck emotional spaces we experience, regardless of "who," "where," "how," or "why" we are. It was, for me, an empowering read. I predict this book (and Logosynthesis) to be beneficial to individuals, families, and faith groups. The "sentences" proposed, are liberating and truly help me look at life challenges from an "energy viewpoint." I agree with Dr. Weiss's own words, that this book and its approach is a great resource for "spiritual awakening and transformation." - Ralph Datema, D.Min., M.Div., LMFT,Diplomate - American Association of Pastoral Counselors(US) Your book explains the Logosynthesis process in a way that will make it easy for me to use this process to relieve stress and fear from various incidences in my past and help me release the energy that I have given up to them. I don't know how or why it works, I just have experienced the relief it brings. - Karen Bartholow, Home Health Care Provider(US) I work primarily with corporate coaching clients and executives and it is amazing how I end up using Logosynthesis with the majority of them. I am thrilled that you've written this as a simple guide which they can refer to and use for themselves. Thank you for doing this.-Pamela Burkhalter, Management Consultant, Facilitator, Logosynthesis Practitioner(Switzerland) What a wonderful and inspiring book. Your writing is easily understood, in spite of the very complicated subject matter you are dealing with. If everyone knew and used this tool, everyday life would greatly improve for most of us. I can't imagine anyone who would not benefit from making it a part of daily practice.- Judy Warren, M.ED., Educator(US) I like it a lot. I was drawn into the story lines that you cleverly presented and especially like how you interweave your personal experiences. Examples are clear, interesting and easy to understand and relate to. - Trish North, Director, Logosynthesis Canada; Logosynthesis Practitioner(Canada) You have a wonderful way of putting things into clear words and digestible form. - Karin Martin (Frischluft) Business Consultant, Coach, Logosynthesis Practitioner (Switzerland)

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

One of my most rewarding moments came shortly after my first book was published. An unknown reader left an enthusiastic message on my answering machine thanking me and telling me that reading my book had changed her life. I hope reading my work helps you change your life!

In my work, I am committed to helping people learn to love and appreciate themselves and each other. I have an unshakeable belief, based on over 5 decades of experience, that people are doing the very best they can with the resources they have available to them at any given moment. My books help provide you with important new resources.

Each time I have considered retirement, I discovered I enjoyed my work too much to stop completely.

After over 40 years practicing psychotherapy and coaching, I had no intention of starting a new phase of my career. In fact, before a colleague used Logosynthesis to end my overreaction to loud events in just a few minutes, while standing in a parking lot, I was planning to retire, content with a long career as a relationship communication expert.

My husband/business partner and I were so intrigued with this recently discovered tool that we just had to learn more. We were thrilled when we found we could help our clients make important life changes in a fraction of the time, and with a fraction of the pain ordinarily associated with psychotherapy.

Now, ten years later, we are both Certified Logosynthesis Trainers and Master Practitioners. And now, in addition to a 7-book "Secrets of Happy Relationships Series," and several very popular books on psychotherapy, codependency and personal growth, I can offer you a new series; so far the "Rapid Relief with Logosynthesis®" contains two exciting books for rapid anxiety relief using only words.

.

My first major book, Recovery from Codependency, co-authored with my husband, Jonathan B. Weiss, Ph.D., stated:

“This book is written to help end the cycle of child abuse, in which the abused child grows into an Adult Child who passes the abuse to his own children. Our purpose is to help create a world in which each child is treated with love, honor, respect and appropriate limits.”

I would now add that all my work is directed toward creating a world where each person is treated that way.

That means helping as many adults as possible heal from their childhood wounds. Adults who experience joy instead of pain can avoid passing on the wounds they experienced when they were small to anyone else. My hope is to contribute to having safety and appropriate nurturing for all of us.

My professional background also includes a Ph.D. and certification as a Teaching and Supervising Transactional Analyst, International Transactional Analysis Association and Master Certified Coach, International Coach Federation. My work has been translated into German, Chinese, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Arabic and possibly Russian.

Personally, my personal life has been intertwined with my professional life since I started working with my husband in 1970. We have 2 children and 5 grandchildren. Married in 1960, we have traveled extensively, teaching (and playing) in 13 different countries.

Just for fun, here are a few little-known facts about me.

I went indoor skydiving for the first time at age 67 and zip lining for the first time at age 75. I have been blessed by elephants in India, walked on hot coals, visited Camelot, flown over the Pyramids, and spent an afternoon at the sex temples at Khajuraho where I learned more possible sex positions than I can possibly remember.

Got over flight sickness.
5 out of 5 stars
Got over flight sickness.
I loved "Letting it Go". I have also read Dr. Lammers book, "Self-Coaching with Logosynthesis: How the Power of Words Can Change Your Life". Laurie explains Dr. Lammers' work in simple terms and useful application. Though new to the process, I used logosynthesis to target flight sickness. I have not gotten hot flashes, nausea, or fear on a flight since! This is amazing as it was a near-guaranteed occurrence for me when I would fly. The last time I flew, I got off the plane and realized that not only had I not gotten sick, but I had energy! Usually, I would get off a flight and just be wiped out. I give credit to logosynthesis and Dr. Weiss and Dr. Lammers for this. Thank you for sharing this amazing process!

    I loved Dr. Laurie Weiss' little book on Logosynthesis. It is so clear and precise, very easy to understand. The premise is that our life energy gets stuck when something painful or overwhelming happens to us. We FREEZE to protect ourselves from this pain. There are SO many modalities that claim to help us release this stuck emotional energy, such as EFT, TAT, Breath Therapy, etc. I would say that this is the simplest method by far.
    I typed a cheat-sheet with the 4 sentences and made a list of triggers and use it daily. I can feel the energy moving in my body.
    I also take notes and write down images that come up (out of nowhere) for me, so I can say the 4 sentences on those images too.

    My example: My trigger (X) was: "this fear that has been with me since I can remember"
    So I sat quietly with each sentence like she instructs. Suddenly an image popped up of me as a young child falling into my
    grandma's fireplace. WOW! That was Not in my conscious mind. My subconscious mind actually brought up this image as
    a cause of my fear.
    I then did the sentences on that image and anything else that came up in the quiet between the sentences.
    I must say I felt lighter after the process. I do think it will take time going through my triggers, it is not an overnight cure.

    So, as Dr. Weiss says.....Logosynthesis will help us RECLAIM our energy from these past triggers.
    By the way, Dr. Willem Lammers is the developer of this method. He also has written books on this topic. Dr. Weiss just made his method simple and precise for anyone to use to achieve results in unfreezing our energies.

    I am in awe, pure and simple. Earlier this week, I saw a post on Facebook about the Laurie Weiss book Letting it Go. I immediately went to Amazon and downloaded an excerpt into my Kindle app. That was enough to tell me that I needed to buy the book.

    I've been on quite a journey these past 15 years since a car accident left me disabled. All my efforts and therapies, all my contemplative practices, have left me feeling like I was sitting in front of a large door that I had no way to open. Being aaaaaaalmost there felt so frustrating. A few days ago, I finished reading Dr. Weiss's book and began doing the practices. In the days since, I have numerous signs telling me that something profound has shifted, and I now have ways to glimpse the other side of that door. I will certainly use this process a lot more.

    Meanwhile, thank you, Dr. Weiss, for writing a truly accessible and thorough book about the Logosynthesis way to healing, which is both deeply practical and indeed rather magical. Wow. Again.

    I recently learned about Logosynthesis and intuitively realized that it is a powerful and advanced mind-body healing modality (and I'm familiar with most of them, and have used many in my medical practice where I'm regularly dealing with severe cases of chronic illness and pain). Laurie's book was my introduction to the subject, and I have to say that I tried the techniques and they created radical shifts in my thoughts and emotions. In fact, 3 out of the 5 most profound experiences that I've had in my lifetime occurred as a result of using the Logosynthesis.

    Thank you Laurie for breaking down what could be a more complex topic and making it easy and user friendly. I have just started reading Willem Lammer's more in-depth books on the subject (he is the founder of Logosynthesis and, from what I'm told, a real Master). The idea of our emotional and mental issues being frozen energetic structures in space is brilliant and, at a higher level of truth, accurate. Any modalities which help to unfreeze our energy and physiology tend to be very powerful and lead to lasting and generative shifts (David Berceli's Tension Release Exercises also fall into this category).

    In his ground breaking book "Waking the Tiger", Peter A Levine noted in relation to our responses to stress " the forces underlying the immobility response and the traumatic emotions of terror, rage and helplessness are ultimately biological energies. How we access and integrate this energy is what determines whether we will continue to be frozen and overwhelmed, or whether we will move through it and thaw."
    Dr.Laurie Weiss in this book shows us how. This book is written in simple and straight forward language that sets out a road map on how to set ourselves free from the non-me energies that keep us traumatized and re-integrate those that belong to us.
    I must confess that as a student of human development, having read the more recent contributions from narrative therapy, NLP, Psych K, LefKoe method, etc. I was less than enthusiastic about another one : logosynthesis. However in attempting to practice the simple 4 exercises set out in the book, a curious thing happened unresolved experiences which I had as youngster surfaced in my mind, but a good thing happened, there was a shift in my thinking. Not only did the stressful feelings evaporate but the negative thoughts were replaced by positive thoughts and feelings.
    Buy the Book.
