As my son just came over to give me one of his wonderful hugs, it reminds me how he started to express himself, through hugs, after his sessions with you last spring. Your influence is long-lasting.

Sharon has helped our family so much, not only with our son of 12, who in the last couple of years experienced a lot of anxiety and a lack of confidence, but with our understanding of how anxiety works and how we as parents can best deal with it. Our son completed the seven-week ‘Brain Training’ course with Sharon which helped him considerably. I feel, however, that the real changes came when my wife and I adjusted our parenting style to address not only our son’s anxiety, but our own, as well. We are amazed at the changes in our son, he is like a different person, much more confident and far less anxious.

I just wanted to let you know that your “Brain Science” course has made a beautiful difference in our daughter’s life. She developed an intense fear of the ocean this spring and summer as COVID changed our lives. That fear was very limiting as we live so close to the water. We spent much of the summer doing the same trail walk she was comfortable with in the woods, instead of enjoying local beaches and enjoying the beautiful sea wall near our home. Last weekend, before we headed out the door for that old familiar hike, she said she wanted to walk by the ocean instead. We have so missed doing this walk as a family, but she used to shake and sob if we tried to force it. This past weekend, she was so confident and proud of herself as she walked. You have given her the concept that her feras may not be the truth and she can choose to send them away.
