“Working with you has
made me a much
more confident parent. Using the techniques you taught me when I was
pregnant
with Owen, I now regularly tell him about potentially troubling
things
that are going to happen (doctor's visits, for instance) beforehand and
talk
him through them before, during and after. And, I think of that
exercise that
we did imagining him in a safe purple light whenever confusing things
are
happening that don't have to do with him. And, I tell him that
he's safe
and what's happening isn't about him. So you see, you continue to
be a
big support. And, I'm so glad that other parents will benefit from your
wisdom
with your programs [hypnosis for birth, "Bonding With The Baby Within"
CD and program] and your new book.” --

Brusseau “I don't know where
to start about
how much you helped me be a more confident parent. I guess the
basic
thing is that you helped me see that I could face my own fears.
By doing
that, I learned that I could help my son face his own. It also
helped me
separate out what scared me vs. what is scary for him. For
instance, when
he cries, it animates a whole process in me that has nothing (or very
little to
do) with what he is trying to express to me -- a basic need. My
work with
you helped me see the emotions that are mine, put them aside for when
I'm by
myself, and then focus on listening to him. It also helped teach
me that
one of the most important things I can give him is a receptive, kind
space to
be who he is and express his wants. That's what you gave me --
the
experience of a receptive, kind space. And, I am so grateful for
that.”
