"The workshop was so poignant and I felt the warmth and comfort and sharing of those just like me. I was so sad when I came and now I'm uplifted and comforted. There were so many wonderful women there and I feel strong and not so alone."

"The retreat went quickly, but pressed into my consciousness the enlightenment, options, resolutions, reaffirmations of strength in number, peope with the SAME story converging to heal and support one another." "Like being on a new planet!" "The single most helpful thing I have ever done for myself in my life!" "An experience of a lifetime-will benefit my life forever A literal Godsend!"

"I'm thankful for all the suggestions and support from everyone I met!" "I highly recommend this to everyone! " "I will be high for days! " "Best antidepressant around!" "Serene!" "Safe!"

POSSIBILITIES IN YOUR AREA...
In 1992, I introduced the term "Verbally Abusive Relationship" to the culture. Many thousands of people throughout the world responded, grateful to have a name for their experience. Thanks to them and their contributions, we have much more knowledge available.
 
If you or your organization would like to sponsor a workshop on verbal abuse issues, please review the following information and contact us for details.
 
To bring healing both individually and collectively, it is my intention that workshop participants gain clarity and insight into verbally abusive relationships. I invite participants to join me in exploring the context, content and underlying dynamics of verbal abuse. I believe that a profound understanding of this issue is essential to our own well-being and the well-being of all those who seek healing and mutuality on planet earth.
 
I have given workshops sponsored by organizations and community leaders throughout the US and in Canada and Australia. Workshop participants include interested members of the community, people who have experienced verbal abuse, people who have perpetrated verbal abuse, counselors, therapists, law enforcement personal and community health professionals.
 
Generally workshops cover the following topics. However, any workshop can be tailored to your particular audience. Our Clarity Weekend Workshop covers much more.
