What Our Clients Say
I was able to use the part of the training about meditations to zero-in and clear my mind and focus on things.
A lot of times when you're doing this your mind is busy, your mind is racing, and trying to really use that meditation muscle to focus on one thing, that can be very healing for the other person...That's one thing I've seen that really works. Quieting the mind. Quieting the noise.

We already move like we're superheroes, right, so automatically, when you hear people, you're like, well, ok, I need to fix this, this, this. Sometimes you really have to slow down in the moment, and really fully absorb what's going on.
We're problem solvers, we're solution based. But sometimes that's not always needed in the immediate moment. In that moment they may just need you to sit there and listen because that does so much more.
Name / Role
The training made me aware that there's a backstory to everything.
Everybody has their own road they took down to get there, and you can't necessarily put yourself in their shoes all the way and, at the same time, you still have to be able to look out and show compassion to everyone.
Name / Role
Building the emotional resilience to choke out the system.' That's the quote that stuck with me the most.
That's what self-compassion is about - building that muscle so we can choke out systems, in the ways that systems have indoctrinated us to act in a certain way or be a certain way that is limiting.
Name / Role
If you're in street outreach, I know that CBCT would really, really, really be impactful. It makes it easier to deal with people and take your biases away. I want love just like this person wants love.
Now, the process by which they are going about it may be different. But, at the baseline, this is one thing that everybody wants, so it humanizes it, and makes it easier to deal with people and take your biases away.
