"The way that I communicate with EVERYONE changed after just the first Saturday and the phone session."
"This course was a wonderful support to my husband’s and my efforts to open up in our communication with each other. Dr. Ford’s empathetic yet practical feedback allowed us to be realistic in our expectations and kept the experience of new approaches from becoming overwhelming. I would definitely take another course with Dr. Ford if one were offered!"
"Profoundly appreciated Dr. Ford’s exceptional perceptive skill and nuanced articulation...Can’t wait to sign up for her next course in this program or elsewhere."
