Here’s what Parents said about October’s workshop with Suzan
J.N
That’s a great little intro Nicola! This is so exciting. I did NVR but it wasn’t tailored towards children with SEN. This is therapeutic, trauma informed, by an autistic adult. Brilliant! I feel I’ve reconnected with my child and am now learning hope to implement some boundaries.
K.G
I found Suzan really helped me think about my own anxieties and triggers and knowing when I need to take a step back and re-evaluate the situation. I will certainly be more aware about this for the future. Thank you so much!
R.M
Learning about NVR was an instant game changer. There is a future where we don't have to argue all the time or feel like we are standing on egg shells. This hope is worth its weight in gold alone.
E.M
Immensely supportive, insightful and nourishing. Suzan has given us a whole new level of acceptance, self forgiveness and reassurance.
