Viewer Comments: "The Color Wheel webcast is a must for therapists working with clients who are unable to, or have difficulties with articulating their emotions. Delivered in a warm and humorous style by Frank it is easy to see how this intervention could progress clinical work with e.g. the client who has been diagnosed with Aspergers, especially when working with couples in this context. Thank you." - Joan. Therapist. UK "This caliber of information is difficult to find elsewhere on the internet and I was starved for any information that would help me understand PTSD. Thank you for this." - Jeannine, trauma survivor. "I watched your webcast called "Transition from Military to Civilian Life." I am always looking for additional resources that may help members of my command. I now have an additional "tool in my tool bag." Your website has also made me more aware of the diagnosis of PTSD and how to better approach those who may be suffering from it." - Chris Osborn, Naval Officer. The Board of Directors webcast is wonderful. Dr. Ochberg has a great way of expressing what his clients say to him. He has a way of putting his explanations into terms survivors can understand (our every day language/experience). He doesn't get lost in the clinical/research terminology, and has a good, solid, and calming speaking voice. The webcast made me hungry for MORE!!!! : ) Thanks to you, Joyce, for putting such great supportive tools out there! - Sab- trauma survivor
