Comments:
I have successfully treated the majority of the issues of specialization represented on this site, because I go to the core difficulty of not being able to express one's feelings, and connect them to the grief and loss of childhood love. These feelings, unconnected to the 'inner child' result in relationship difficulties, PTSD, depression, etc. When feelings can be expressed in a safe situation, which I provide; love will be felt for self, then others, as well as the spiritual connection to the universe’s creation.
