What do you love most about your job?

This new perspective and skillful relating provides a safe, loving space for children and other significant relationships to be a part of their life together. It is so gratifying to witness a person begin to live from a new relationship to him/herself first that then extends to skillful relationships with the people that matter most in their life. We are wired for connection and need it for our well-being. Today, we also need to know how to create belonging in a wider community than the couple in order to have support and opportunity throughout our lifespan.
