Great analogies of the ocean and emotions. “Real” conversation. I can SO relate. BS, teacher.

We’re ALL using the ACES tools almost every day in some way. It helps our intense family members all be more peaceful and take challenges in stride much better than we used to. Mom of 7 & 9 year old highly sensitive boys.

“Since using the Personal Power Pyramid almost very day, we’re recognizing our limits in time to honor them, instead or running right over them like we used to do. This helps us in so many ways.” Mom of 10 year old gifted girl.
Recognizing our limits
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.
Son now taking initiative

I like the analogy of ocean waves and emotion waves – and that there are degrees of feelings, just like different colored flags on an ocean beach. I want more time to learn about this!
Emotional waves
I loved your practical, therapeutic ideas, and the science behind them.
