This list was passed on from another therapist and I use this when I work with individuals to help them be the best parent to themselves. You see most of us grew up wishing, hoping, praying for our parents to say all the right words.

You cannot change the past, you can only change the meaning of the events that imprinted in your mind.

During an RTT session I guide you to be the loving parent to yourself. To say all the words you needed to hear but didn’t. The healing that takes place is magical to watch.

So for all my parents these are the words your children really need to hear.

Say them often, say them everyday and watch as your children blossom into the incredible individual they were born to be.

For the adults that need to heal from their past so they can tap into their full potential schedule your free consultation to find out how RTT can help you.
