More About Sylvia

I’ve been really enjoying hearing you on several of the NVC recordings that I’ve recently downloaded to cd. Meets needs for learning and practice in a very big way. I’m now listening to Sherlock Holmes of the Heart and it is really opening up doors for me. I thank you so much for taking on that person’s inspiration when he/she suggested you do this. Another is NVC and Grieving. At the end, you read this most powerful and wonderful quote out of one of Rachel Naomi’s books (I have kitchen table wisdom….luv it!). It had to do w/when her mom supported her in going back to med school even though she was ill. And the talk about how sometimes the best support we can give another is our belief in them.   —Rachel R.
