The cliche goes that therapists nod their heads wisely and say: “And how did that make you feel?” They do say this sometimes; and in fact, when no one has ever asked you this question before, it’s extremely powerful when they do, repeatedly.
This repetition starts to have an effect: it makes you see that your feelings are valid; they aren’t right or wrong – they just are.

Don't Blame Your Parents
Once this truth is established, it leads to more interesting conversations.

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!
