Anna Stookey, MA, MFT, CHt has over twenty years’ experience working with the mind and body, first as a massage therapist and now as a licensed psychotherapist with additional certifications in EMDR, medical and clinical hypnosis, and LAISPS certification in the treatment of eating disorders. She has worked extensively with hospitals and organizations devoted to health and wellness as a clinician, program consultant and teacher, including the Santa Monica Rape Treatment Center, WeSPARK, The Wellness Community and City of Hope Cancer Center as well as A&E Television and Lifetime Networks. Anna is also monthly expert on’Your Caregiving Journey,’ a radio show devoted to self-care for caregivers.
The Truce/Body Reunion Process was developed by Anna as a way to help clients reconnect with their bodies through trauma, illness, eating disorders and struggles with body image and self-esteem. Rather than seeing the body as an object to be controlled, it asks us to form a healthy relationship with our physical selves, interacting and relying on our bodies for insight, dialogue and healing. The tools in the Truce Process have helped hundreds of people to feel more present in their lives and heal physical symptoms untreated by other methods.
Anna maintains a private practice in Beverly Hills and Larchmont, California and is the author of numerous articles on self-care and the bodymind relationship. Anna also writes an ongoing blog on the Truce Process called “The Body Reunion Solution” (www.bodyreunion.blogspot.com) and can be contacted through her website AnnaStookey.com or by email at annastookey@gmail.com.
