WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
"Loving every page as I devour every word. By the time I had reached page 40, I had two huge realizations of my own regarding family of origin issues. I welcomed the tears of healing."
“Thanks for the heads-up, and if anyone out in cycberland hasn't purchased this book, you are missing out.”
"Very informative using down-to-earth language. This book is hands-on ready-to-use technique type of information. Nice read without a lot of clinical jargon."
"I am still a student, but it is awesome to have such a wonderful resource to count on for real world advice. Thank you!"
"I immensely enjoyed reading the text book and its in-depth discussions of how to conduct a counselling session, the things to look for and what to say."
"I found the textbook very enjoyable. I found it especially helpful that Mr. Keeran provided so many first-hand accounts. I thought that this textbook provided the fundamental building blocks to becoming a skilled counselor."
"The more I read the more it made sense and linked all together. I liked how it took you step by step into the situations that you may encounter. It was quite incredible how I would pause to ask a question, to have it answered only a few sentences later."
"I think the practical wording of statements given throughout the text was very helpful in providing how to effectively communicate with clients. The text was written in a very practical way, and the essential skills and interventions were well written and laid out in a way that was not too complex to grasp."
