About The Author
Kathleen Keating
Kathleen holds a graduate degree in clinical psychology and is a registered nurse in California and Missouri. She has dedicated the past 35 years to practicing as a counselor, psychotherapist, mental health educator, mediator, and consultant.
Kathleen is the author of The Hug Therapy Book and The Love Therapy Book, which playfully parody therapy while conveying a serious message about the importance of compassion and the healing touch. She is currently working on The Anger Therapy Book and The Downhill Runners and Fast Walkers - The Very Beginners Playbook for Health and Well-Being.
An inspiring speaker and workshop leader, Kathleen’s presentations cover topics such as:
- The Power of Touch

- How To Love a Child
- How To Love a Teen-Ager
- How To Talk To Women - For Men Only

As a personal, creative consultant, Kathleen’s focus is to stimulate imagination, inspire self-worth, and deepen personal intuition. She employs a diverse range of methods, including:
- Goal setting and maintenance
- Communication skills
- Solution-focused problem-solving
- Negotiation skills
- Guided imagery
- Inner dialogue and journal writing
- Poetry
- Story-telling

Kathleen’s developed process offers a journey of adventure for individuals or groups seeking personalized guidance. This guidance can be applied to:
- Finding and developing a creative project
- Managing stress
- Learning relationship and parenting skills
- Improving health and fitness
- Weight reduction
- Grief resolution
- Managing life transitions
This journey involves a deeper exploration of the fundamental inner conflicts that hinder personal success. It is about connecting with one’s authentic self and transcending old, automatic patterns learned in childhood. This process of reworking patterns allows for the creation of new alternatives and a revitalized life. Each individual embarking on this inner work will learn to discover and follow their unique path, establishing self-support to continue their destiny. All experiences and feelings are accepted and explored, rather than controlled or repressed. The aim is not to superficially “fix” problems, but to uncover genuine needs and goals.
