QUOTES:

"The inner child only wants one thing. Only one thing. Comfort. For the men I work with, that comfort they found in sexual activity."
"The child is stuck in this time warp where he is running just based on emotional thinking."
"When I become mindful and am able to recognize what's going on around me, how can I help those who I love, then we wind up growing. That's growth."
"I need my clients to be mindful because I need them to be aware of their triggers that happen, but also be mindful of the fact it's not all about them."
