Here’s what a few attendees had to say about the Los Angeles Conference:

“I applaud you, and Jon, for being so willing to share your work via taped sessions, so we could really see it in action – both the intense transformative power of it, as well as the inevitable non-linear nature of therapy. Ebb and flow, dead ends, mistaken interpretations and therapeutic efforts that fail, as well as moments of connection, deep emotion, and powerful change for the client. It takes courage to put one’s work on such display, and for that I am very grateful.”

—Alan Solomon, Ph.D.

“Thank you again for putting on the conference. It has made us both on fire with optimism and life direction which is priceless.”

—Chris Moule

“I attended the “Penetrating Defenses…” workshop this past weekend and I want to let you know that I implemented techniques I learned during the workshop with results I’m very happy with. I was more focused on the need to interupt my clients’ defenses and was able to do so readily which really did facilitate their ability to identify/engage with their feelings with greater depth. I’m so happy! This is exactly what I needed to improve my practice. I have been reading “Co-Creating Change” which I find very helpful and clear and which assisted me today with implementing skills. I’m so glad I attended the training and feel excited about the prospect of further training.”
