The “seeds” of FSH were inherited from the revolutionary work of the late Lucia Capacchione, Ph.D., whom I regard as the queen of the self-healing movement. Her introduction of bilateral writing as a tool for healing the inner family became the genesis of virtually everything found on FSH.
​
A deeper understanding of how Lucia’s work led to the creation of FreeSelfHealing.org can be found in:

Laura Prescott, LMFT
Laura, a marriage and family therapist, has been reading, editing, and encouraging my self-healing writings since I began in 2017. Her “eagle eyes” have caught countless errors, improved my phrasing, and her thoughtful feedback has consistently improved its clarity and depth. Laura’s own integration of psychotherapy and spirituality has provided a vital sounding board for my developing ideas. As I was often beset by doubt, Laura’s steadfast belief in the value of this work helped keep me going. Her enduring support helped FSH grow from seed to garden.
Benjamin D. Garber, Ph.D.
Ben has been a dear friend, colleague, fishing buddy, and wise counsel for many years. As a successfully published author himself, Ben's cheering, admiration, and keen observations have been invaluable to me as a fledgling author. His consistent affirmation of my books and essays earns him my deepest gratitude.
Jeffrey Kinghorn
More than anyone else, Jeff helped me find my voice as a writer. Before his guidance, my writing carried the prosaic tone of academic and professional work—informative but impersonal. Jeff guided me toward a more engaging, relatable voice and helped me embrace it with confidence.​ His enthusiasm for my efforts sustained me through many long seasons in the desert of recognition.
William (Will) Kandle
William—beloved son of mine and Louise—helped bridge the world of FreeSelfHealing.org between my generation (Boomer) and his (Z). "Will" extended FSH's reach into social media, a landscape foreign and uncomfortable for me. His support has been invaluable in helping FSH connect with younger people coming of age in a time of frightening division and uncertainty.
Raihan is the talented web designer who brought FSH to life as you see it. More than a technician, he understood the heart and purpose of FSH. With care and creativity, he helped shape its outer beauty to reflect its inner beauty.
Editorial and design recognition is owed to ChatGPT, and AI tool, for bringing FSH into harmony with its spirit and purpose.
