"Thanks for the wonderful educational programs. I'm a nurse practitioner and these will be helpful in my work at a busy metropolitan emergency room."
- Jeanne Hoffman, NP
"Valuable video clips - excellent resources for our military chaplains."

I hope others who hurt like I do will find their way to this page and view these. Thank you for all you do to help us on your wonderful site."
- Patricia, trauma survivor
"I work at a domestic violence agency. The webcasts are super mini classes with great concrete examples. I have found them helpful, easy to access and relevant. I particularly appreciated the webcasts on Sexual Assault: Advice for Husbands and Significant Others, Nightmares vs. Flashbacks, and Non-lethal Triggers for PTSD."
- Stacie Dubay, LMSW
"Your new webcasts are amazing! Great job done on these brief but concise descriptions on trauma issues. You can be sure my clinical team, students and survivors will hear about yet another great resource from Gift Within."
- Connie Saindon, MFT, Founder of the Survivors of Violent Loss Network

- Cindy Lou, trauma survivor
"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
These videos are excellent and I have shared them with those who are close to me so we can all learn together. Thank you for creating them in layman's terms so that I can understand and process the information to find greater healing.
- M.A., trauma survivor |
