ABOUT |
Elizabeth Heaney, MA was a therapist for over thirty years before she began working on military bases, counseling service members getting ready to deploy into combat or just returning from combat. Listening to combat veterans’ experiences with depth, compassion and astounding insight, her spare, direct writing style captures the immediacy of her encounters with soldiers in The Honor Was Mine.
Ms. Heaney’s stories are infused with a remarkable freshness, an outsider’s ongoing discovery of the military world’s values and honor, rules and norms, reticence and heart.
Holding graduate degrees in both Clinical Psychology and Transpersonal Psychology from John F. Kennedy University, Ms. Heaney has been teaching in graduate counseling programs for over twenty-five years and has maintained a private counseling practice for more than thirty five years - she currently practices in Asheville NC. She continues to speak and write about her work with service members, works with veterans in writing groups and often helps staff Wounded Warrior Project combat recovery retreats.
