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

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!

I’m happy about Sharon’s ability to connect with my 17 year old highly sensitive daughter! She was excited to get to go again!

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.
