BOOK REVIEW, "Quick Steps to Resolving Trauma", Bill O'Hanlon

Mr. O'Hanlon offers new approaches to resolving trauma in 4 different steps; inclusive therapy; future pull; changing patterns; reconnection.

Each technique is detailed and comprehensive. When reading about them you will find your head bobbing in agreement and your thoughts racing wanting to incorporate all 4 steps when working with your next client.
