Though pain and life challenges enter our lives in different ways, many of us do our best to avoid them until our quality of life is compromised. Whether your suffering is physical, emotional, mental or spiritual, it will be affected by and affect all those other parts of yourself. Research has shown that writing about painful or traumatic events can improve the immune system and healing can come to us in many surprising ways.
Author Susan Derozier guides you on a journey of self-discovery. She tells us that each one of us is our own best expert and invites us to tap into that wisdom residing within. Using anecdotes and experiences from her own life and those of her students, she offers examples of how to reframe your life situation and create your own therapy or plan for change.
You don’t have to be an experienced writer to begin this journey. All that is needed is an open mind and a willingness to explore new ways of viewing your self and your life. Sometimes we tend to be our own worst critics or we take on the identities reflected on us by others. Because of this, we all have periods of forgetting who we really are. Take this time to remember and to make a conscious integration of all those parts of your life to uncover and discover your authentic self.

Susan Derozier considers herself more of a student than an educator. What began as a serious study concerning personal health issues turned into a life- changing journey of wonder. Documentation of that study in her personal journal uncovered some fascinating patterns for her and resulted in an actual self-therapy. As a trained therapist, she was encouraged by former mentors to offer a class on the process. That has grown to offerings for numerous universities, hospitals, community events and retreats. Derozier tells us that these classes continue her education through the extraordinary experiences offered by the students. She currently lives in Florida enjoying time with family, her books, music and her cat, Rosie.
My representative Jamie was always extremely professional and helpful during the entire process of my book publication. She always responded very quickly to requests and was always helpful throughout the entire process. She is a great role model and a great asset to the Outskirts Press family. I will highly recommend Outskirts Press to my friends and associates and also look forward to doing more business in the future. I am extremely pleased with my book publication and consider this a major milestone in my life . Thank you all very much...

author of Avoiding Self Imposed Adversities
From the beginning, and throughout the process of publishing my first book, I felt that I was in the hands of a pro. Dana always took the time to answer my questions in detail and swiftly, and if she didn't have 100% confidence, she researched the question and got back to me. I was very pleased with her and I am also thankful that I was paired with her as an Author Rep.

The one-on-one with Lisa was great. Especially the phone call picking out styles, font, cover template etc. She even got a vote on the color. I so wanted to have my daughter's painting as the art work on the cover and she gave me a way to do that. Her guidance helped turn my dream into a reality and sometimes it is still hard to believe until I look at my book. Thank you.

Their process is simple and seamless with everything happening in a timely manner, giving authors complete control over how their book will appear inside and out. And the people there are fantastic. They’re friendly, knowledgeable, courteous, patient and quick to reply to emails. What more can an author ask?
Needless to say, I’ve found a home here at Outskirts Press.
