Testimonials
“I’ve learned to be more mindful of how I am around my ex and my children, being able to listen to their needs, have empathy, and speak in a more respectful and positive way. I’ve also learned to be more mindful of when our children are around both parents to be careful not to include them in negative ways. My experience of this course was very positive; I really enjoyed learning about the locus of control and gained a lot from it!”
