Dave Temkin notes, "My work is rooted in the fact that each of us already holds the capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change. Sometimes, life experiences—stress, trauma, loss, or transitions—can make that harder to access. My role is to help you reconnect with those inner strengths. Your True Self can be uncovered using therapy combined with ancient healing wisdom. Oftentimes, clients talk to a therapist for years. When they enter my office, I always ask what tools they have learned. Sadly, few have them. I listen, but I also teach skills that you can use every day to achieve and maintain balance. Believe me, I have been in your shoes..Tell Me What Happened features the music of Susan Salidor.More information about Susan Salidor can be found at her website Get Susan Salidor’s One Little Act of Kindness Children’s BookGet Susan Salidor’s I’ve Got Peace in My Fingers Children’s BookMore Information about our sponsor's 10 x 10 Blackhole Chess game can be found at www.blackholechess.com
