PERSONALLY

"TONY"

About 20 years ago John, a coworker, suggested that I attend a workshop in Chicago "to learn about myself." The idea was frightening to me back then, so I quickly made some excuses. John didn't buy any of my excuses. He just looked me straight in the eye and said: "Don't Be Afraid To Grow, Tony."

I attended that workshop to show I wasn't chicken (when I was!), and I have been all but obsessed by all of the many powerful methods of therapy, self-therapy, self-help, and self-care I've been exposed to ever since.

Because of John I acquired, collected, used in my practice, and used on myself a massive amount of information about how someone can help themselves psychologically.

I never would have learned any of this without my coworker's gutsy statement to me that day..... but I don't even remember his last name!

In a way, I've worked on my web site to pay John back for his kindness - through the people who get help at the site.

I guess I just can't resist looking people straight in the eye and saying: "Don't Be Afraid To Grow!"

I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
