Patti Henry Off The Shelf Books Focus

Born in Ohio, Patti was introduced to trauma early in her life after her parents divorced when she was four years old. She pursued a life path to become an attorney and was accepted into several law schools. Yet, the pull to teach kept tugging at her. That’s when she moved to Mexico and taught, a practice she came to love. After she stopped teaching in classrooms, Patti became a licensed therapist and started to teach people how to live better lives.

Emotions In Relationships Matter

It’s this work that Patti and Off The Shelf Books podcaster Denise Turney dive into during the featured February interview. Off The Shelf Books listeners will gain opportunities to learn how to reverse negative self-talk, learn to make smart life choices and move away from living in a reactionary state.

Her second book, Two Lifetimes: From Fear To Love addresses trauma and pathways away from self-love that occur from birth through early adulthood.
