Children's Comments...
I made high honors for the first time!
I was able to sleep at a friend's house... without having to come home.
I don't have as many nightmares and the ones I do have don't seem as real.
It used to take me hours to fall asleep.  Now it takes minutes.
I feel better about myself.  I get along better with my family and my friends.
I found joy in little things this week.
Parent Comments...
For the first time he has been able to face his nightmares.
This is the first time he showed and released his emotions.
He said he felt peace for the first time.
I've never seen him so calm.  
After 10 minutes he fell asleep!
She feels better about herself and is doing better in school.
She never lets me miss an appointment.
Referring Clinician Comments...
My clients have been able to learn what it is like to feel
calm and be at peace which has given them the ability to use
more appropriate behavior to get their needs met.
I am convinced that Bruce's work in addition to therapy has
shown to speed up the treatment and healing process for
children and their families.

                                  Comments from Educators...
      You taught me so much about compassion for children in ways I had not considered before.  Your input
  and perceptions with our intriguing little student have helped all of us view him in different ways, and will  
  
ultimately be part of a plan that will hopefully help him learn to manage his life."

In my twenty years as an educator I have rarely met anyone who has displayed
  the amount of compassion as I have witnessed from Bruce."     Principal
