  • 5 star review

    So engaging. I totally loved your sharing, which brought this workshop alive for me. I am blown away by you both. You’ve helped me to realise why, when I drive to visit my Mum, the growing proximity makes me increasingly anxious, the closer I get. William, I am going to give your poetry books as presents!

  • Lucy Baker - Medical Doctor

    I loved all of it!! Learnt lots. In particular: The 5 freedoms. Reactions to shame (attack self/other, withdraw, deny). Asking for clarification when being shamed "what do you mean?" Four step feedback. Pendulation. Blessing. Loved it.
