I can't emphasise enough how nicely created the courses are by Prof Grantham. I dont like to miss any of his words so I study his recordings again and again to catch all the essence. At times Ive been mesmerised by the breadth of his knowledge

What can I say. I love your type of therapy. Your idea that you can't move forward if you hold onto your past has been a real eye opener and I can already see that strategy you taught me working already. You won't believe this but Im already less preoccupied with that trauma with my father. Thank you.
