Raising Our Children to be Resilient

My wife does counceling and gave me thes book to read. It not only helps all of her clients, but it was instrumental in giving me a great breakthrough with issues from my childhood. I think this book should be mandatory for any therapist dealing with childhood trauma. Sincerely, Dr. Hugh Tresselt
