Personal Reflection
I have had the pleasure and 'therapeutic grief' in working with Richard from 2012 to the current day. Attending his workshops and seminars has allowed ever deepening therapeutic healing - hence my phrasing 'therapeutic grief'. Richard holds his group of participants in a way that bonds each of us in positive healing and nurturing. I am a better therapist through my contact with Richard.
