In today’s episode, Stasi has a heartfelt conversation with a dear friend, anointed counselor Laurie Lokey. Laurie shares her journey of grief and healing, uncovering what it means to forgive and love Jesus amidst deep heartbreak and to step fully into her identity as His Beloved. Friends, Laurie’s story shows us that as difficult as it is to face our pain, trusting the transformative power of God’s love can carry us through even the deepest grief. This episode is a tender reminder that we are not alone, and God desires to fully restore our hearts.
Laurie Lokey found her way into counseling after completing and leading a Power To Choose recovery group in Columbia, TN and loved partnering with people on their journey to find hope and change. She completed her master’s degree at Trevecca University and is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She worked with the YMCA of Middle Tennessee to create and run their 12 step recovery groups. Laurie created an individual intensive therapy model for the healing of trauma, which she continues to evolve and use with clients very effectively.
Laurie’s love for helping people heal from the impact of trauma led her to work with a specialist and traumatologist, Dr. Lee Norton. From their work, Laurie learned and developed her own modality called “Trauma Stage Processing” which she and her late husband, Bill, taught to clinicians through the U.S. and Uganda, Africa.
Laurie is full of life and passionate about what’s important in her life, which becomes obvious soon after you meet her. She loves people well and loves seeing the light come back on in the eyes of those who have lost it. In her free time, Laurie loves being a mom and a grandmom and enjoys spending time with good friends!
