Praise for DARe

Diane’s knowledge is deep and her breadth of understanding of the human condition is exquisite!” New York Therapist

  • “The material was so well presented – very clear, well organized. The addition of the manual is really great and helpful and I will continue to refer to it. The attachment module was relevant to clinical practice and Diane is particularly good at providing links between the didactic and clinical application.” – Anon
  • “The exercises were great! The specific clinical SE ways of working with the different types of attachment was revealing and trans-formative. There were very clear explanations of attachment styles and dynamics of what happens as the person separates from the wound pattern. What wonderful work you are bringing to the world!” – A. Morris
  • “I liked Diane’s awareness of the larger picture, the larger outcome of spiritual wholeness and maturity and her frequent reference to this. Also her clear statement of how our (therapists’) own attachment experiences and how effectively we re-patterning these can support the relational field with our clients. This was a sweet, powerful weekend!” – M. Bojourno
