Your metaphors are a wonderful way to create and construct meaning. I love the Tune in Tool and waves as a way to monitor the level of emotions. Attendee CAGT 2016
Metaphors
Thank you again for everything you have done for both my son and myself! He has been coming home happier than I have seen him in years, and more willing to share about his day at school than ever before. He is setting his alarm clock without reminders, taking showers without reminders, making his lunch, and seeking teachers for clarification of assignments!!!! When I tried to remind him about something last week, he said, “If you want me to be independent, let me be independent and figure it out for myself.” I am so happy that he is taking the initiative on his own! I am thrilled. With deepest appreciation! From the Mom of an 8th/ now 9th grade gifted boy.

Ways I can be supportive
Honestly, this really helps me understand myself a lot better. I learn that I can heal myself and find my place in life. I feel that I’m not alone with my feelings and sensitivity. Thank you so much!

The 5 G’s are great. I also liked your many analogies. I want to learn more about how symptoms can be a sign to grow and develop and also how to recognize and appropriately express emotions. Attendee CAGT 2016
