About the author

One of my most rewarding moments came shortly after my first book was published. An unknown reader left an enthusiastic message on my answering machine thanking me and telling me that reading my book had changed her life. I hope reading my work helps you change your life!

I have become a relationship communication expert by spending nearly forty-five years studying, practicing and teaching relationship building skills. I'm internationally-known as an executive coach, consultant, psychotherapist, speaker and author. I've had the joy of presenting my work throughout the US and in 13 other countries.

I've been married to my husband, Jonathan B. Weiss since 1960 and in business with him since 1972. We have practiced in Littleton, Colorado, since 1972, focusing on helping clients create dynamic, effective personal and working relationships. We have 2 children and 5 grandchildren.

As a woman, business owner, wife, mother and grandmother I think my most important job is to contribute to creating a world where people love and respect themselves and each other.

Early in my career I did this face to face with my clients and students. Then I learned that I could reach more people through my writing.

I know that cultural myths and misinformation prevent people from having the loving relationships they deserve. Great relationships are not made in heaven. They do not need to end when you fall out of love, are not always exciting, and are not limited to a few lucky people.

Great relationships do require information, attention, time and commitment to the challenge of creating them.

My biggest contribution is being able to see, feel and know that wonderful relationships are possible in challenging personal and business situations. I help you create your own wonderful relationships by helping you have those important conversations that build your relationships.

On a personal note, my life has been richer, fuller and more exciting than I ever imagined it could be. Two accidents, my introduction to Transactional Analysis in 1968 and to Feminism in 1970 led us to create a business and personal partnership that far exceeded my wildest expectations.

Each time I considered retirement, I discovered I enjoyed my work too much to stop completely.

A few years ago, Jonathan and I encountered Logosynthesis, a revolutionary new European process for guided change. We were so intrigued with this tool that could let us do work that used to take months in just a few hours or even just a few minutes, that we got even more involved. Now we are the only 2 certified Logosynthesis Practioners and Basic Trainers in the United States.

In my work, I am committed to helping people learn to love and appreciate themselves and each other. I have an unshakeable belief, based on nearly 45 years of experience, that people are doing the very best they can with the resources they have available to them at any given moment.

As a relationship coach, I listen "between the lines" and respond to what people mean instead of just to what they say. I search for the essential aliveness in my clients and encourage their uniqueness. I am not afraid to speak difficult truths, and I help my clients discover what is true for them and learn to communicate it with compassion, grace and skill.

My passion for experiential learning has led me on many strange and wonderful pa

Other reviewers have covered the fine specifics of this book well. As a therapist, let me add; If you want to pack a "carry on" for a much easier, less stressful destination, this little book is a "must have". Dr. Weiss offers this powerful tool of a process that seems little less than a magic wand to be used anytime, anywhere. Get it! Read it! Use it!

[Harlow · Rating 5 out of 5]

In his ground breaking book "Waking the Tiger", Peter A Levine noted in relation to our responses to stress " the forces underlying the immobility response and the traumatic emotions of terror, rage and helplessness are ultimately biological energies. How we access and integrate this energy is what determines whether we will continue to be frozen and overwhelmed, or whether we will move through it and thaw."
 
Dr.Laurie Weiss in this book shows us how. This book is written in simple and straight forward language that sets out a road map on how to set ourselves free from the non-me energies that keep us traumatized and re-integrate those that belong to us.
I must confess that as a student of human development, having read the more recent contributions from narrative therapy, NLP, Psych K, LefKoe method, etc. I was less than enthusiastic about another one : logosynthesis. However in attempting to practice the simple 4 exercises set out in the book, a curious thing happened unresolved experiences which I had as youngster surfaced in my mind, the good thing there was a shift in my thinking. Not only did the stressful feelings evaporate but the negative thoughts were replaced by positive thoughts and feelings.
Buy the Book.

I found this book "Letting it Go" of Laurie Wiess during a Logosythesis seminar and was strangely attracted by it.
As a Logosinthesis Practitioner, I enjoy this book for my everyday life and Clients; I like it as a pocket manual for practical source of examples and topics.
I consider this book useful and suitable for beginners and experienced professionals, but also for everyone who is interested in letting go toxic stress and personal development; it seems incredible, but is the truth. The language is simple, clear and accessible, examples are taken for common life experience, theory is simplified and comprehensible; everyone indeed could read it just to know Logosinthesis and apply it for self-help and for others.

My suggestion is: read this book again and again, highlight concepts and examples for your own utility, let Logosinthesis work for your life and bring it with you everywhere, also because its size suits your pockets.

Efficient

This was suggested by my coach to read. Quick read and overview of how Logosynthesis works and a better understanding of how to narrow down then target phrases to use with her as a guide. A great introduction to releasing trapped energy from stressful and not so stressful situations.

[Sydne Saccone · Rating 5 out of 5]

I did not know this method, one of my coaches help me experiment it. It is really amazing, it can be painful but for sure it helps putting the stressful emotions into the place where they truly belong! This book helps to understand the method and how to use it as a self support!!! I highly recommend it!!

Narrated well

Looking for book to address compulsive thinking and personally didn't find it helpful. This was short, sweet and to the point for those interested in this process. I imagine this could be beneficial for some.

[Saarah Niña · Rating 5 out of 5]

Impressive
I was extremely eager to read a book of this nature, and I'm more than pleased to have found such a brilliant one! This book was written well, concisely, each chapter is an average of 15 mins long (according to the audio book version), and there are around eight chapters. The narrator delivered it well, clearly, and professionally.

I admit that while I was drawn to the book, after having listened to the first chapter- I became overwhelmed, and quite sceptical. But now, I can honestly say that this book challenges the overly used phrase 'too good to be true'. For me, my burdens were quickly becoming too much to deal with, that I'd try to escape them- indulging myself in a book, or a tv show, procrastinating, or avoiding the source of the issue. It was at that point that I felt the only way to move on was to forgive. But when you keep everything bottled inside, not many people recognise the pain they caused you. And it happens again, repeatedly. For me, this book helped me understand that I don't need to forgive, just let go of all the resentment. This served as a reassurance, and it was a beautiful message, relieving me of the pressure I felt to stop taking things to heart, and relieving me of the guilt I felt for resenting someone I felt I shouldn't.

But in the same way, it was frightening- just the idea that there are others out there going through the same ordeals, or ordeals more painful than I could ever imagine. Sometimes when people are wronged, they speak of forgiveness. Others claim that they have no right to deliver this forgiveness, for the crime is much greater than them alone. For me, I felt like I had this duty to forgive and I was repulsed by the idea altogether. As you can imagine, the pressure never really went away.

This book was incredibly helpful for me, I take comfort in words. Communication is invaluable, and words reflect far more than we can sometimes think: it's not enough to say actions speak louder, as this isn't always the case. Often, the silence is enough. When communication is lacking, one may feel isolated, broken, like they aren't enough for you to explain yourself to. That's quite possibly the worst feeling. But, Dr. Weiss reassures us that it's all about how we respond to this stress, she understands that not a lot of stress can be taken away but it can be worked on. Sometimes we feel limited in what we can actually do, restricted, and tied down: outside of responsibilities, more so an abyss or even a cage of numbing fear. That's when words are the most helpful- we should all be able to reassure ourselves, strengthen ourselves and build ourselves back up. Using words is quite possibly the only way to do this: it's sustainable and independent. It's a skill we should all acquire, and Dr. Weiss offers us a crash course in how we can possess this skill, and maximise our energy immensely.

I have already begun to delve deeper into this subject of Logosynthesis, it's fascinating what it can achieve! I recommend this book to anyone and everyone: it's easily accessible to all, Dr Weiss uses simple language and covers all sorts of stressful situations. This is actually something I found the most helpful, she uses descriptions of other individual cases to help the reader understand how to appropriately use words to tackle the stress. These stories while often uncomfortable to listen to, provided comfort in encouraging the reader to face their own fears, and vulnerabilities: to be able to say them aloud and feel them fall away. Quite astounding.

Wish it were longer, it was that good…

TARGET AUDIENCE: Most of us! I know few people who don’t struggle with some anxiety in our modern world. Most of us could benefit from this book.

STORY LINE: I was skeptical of this book to begin with. I was thinking that maybe I could pick up a few tidbits to use with my clients (I am a therapist), but wow. I wish it were longer, and contained even more. This is a straight forward, simple, easy to understand guide to letting go of our anxiety and stress. At just under 3 hours, anyone can read this. It is not written with psychobabble, but written with simple, easy to understand, plan jane English.

NARRATOR: Excellent. The prosody and flow of the reading of this book was terrific. I usually read my books at the fastest level that my audio book readers will allow. This narrator was still very easy to understand. Did not every need to rewind to catch anything.

OVERALL: Absolutely will be recommending this book to my clients.

I was voluntarily provided a review copy at no charge by the author. I was impressed by its simplicity and was enthusiastic to try the technique of Logosynthesis. Although I just started practicing, I am already impressed with the potential of a stress relieving tool that only takes a few minutes of my time.
The concept that stressful events of my past might remain stuck inside me makes sense. I know I sometimes tell myself stories about those events and energy gets trapped around the story and inside me whether I realize it or not. I know I have an issue when something in the present day triggers an out of portion emotional response.
I am excited about the idea that Logosynthesis will help me diffuse energy that no longer serves me and may actually be making me ill. The risk of trying this technique is low and the potential for feeling better is sky high!

Laurie Weiss
I have just finished "Letting It Go" and am delighted to read such a clear, helpful book. The material is clearly and accessibly written. Logosynthesis comes to life in Laurie's writing. Her initial interest and delight in her first exposure were engaging and encouraged further reading. The variety of presentations is helpful for the reader new to the subject are all eminently informative.

Laurie, Jon (her husband) and I met in 1974 when I was, as we were trainees for becoming certified teachers of Transactional Analysis. We have had little or not contact since then and it was wonderful to catch up with her by reading this wonderfully useful and readable book. It gives me great pleasure to recommend this book to everyone; may they benefit as completely as my wife and I already have, and as will those to whom I anticipate recommending it. May it benefit many many people.

[Carol Milani · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am a certified coach and I had been looking for an easy to apply method to resolve beliefs, blocks and others with my clients in the here and now. I discovered Logosynthesis in a completely different environment, therapy. It worked so well that I started reading more about it. Dr. Willem Lammers presented Logosynthesis in coaching and I was convinced it would be the tool giving my work with people another dimension.
I discovered "Letting it Go" on Facebook and decided to read it. I really like this easy to read book that enables everybody to use this fantastic method. Dr. Laurie Weiss really managed to make Logosynthesis available to anybody interested to develop further and free energy. I recommend the book for my clients, my friends and many more. Thanks a lot.
