Rich Hanhardt has been a psychotherapist for forty years, working with children, adolescents, families, and adults and in managing treatment programs. During that time, he has also been an explorer in many spiritual disciplines that have found ways to help their followers to deal with human suffering. Following a dramatic conversion, having experienced clearly the astonishing healing potential of Christian thought and practice, he began to formulate an approach to the wounding and suffering that can occur in our sacred bond relationships and the healing that is possible in the gifts of the Trinity. This approach is based on a lifetime of research into how we heal. Rich lives in Wauwatosa,… Wisconsin, a suburb of Milwaukee. He has been married for forty years to his wife, Marti, and has four adult children and four grandchildren. He enjoys being in natural settings, canoeing, kayaking, photography, and reading.
