ENDORSEMENTS
Dr. Ardeshir Mehran, Human Work Studio
What’s especially remarkable is that the book is offered to those in helping professions—the wounded healers. The ones who listen and care for the inner pain of so many, yet their own stories often go unheard. This book is a significant milestone in changing this reality. There are timely and practical resources for therapists to reclaim their inner strength, enabling them to help accelerate the healing process of their clients. This is a trusted compendium every therapist should have. Thank you, Pérez & Wheeler.”
