How did I become a children's empowerment expert? OK, so I'm not really a children's empowerment expert but the thousands of parents I have helped go from trying to get their children to think positively, to overcoming their persistent negative thoughts, actually think I am. I think it's an excellent side effect of helping so many people overcome their struggles after they have been stumbling around and being desperate for so many years. Before I dedicated myself to writing, and helping people say FAREWELL to negative internal thoughts, I was a private practise counsellor in the health and counselling field. It took a lot of inspiration and a truck-load of guts to get to where I am today, and I am incredibly proud to be here. So, the reason I am CALLED an expert is because one fine day, I decided I was going to really figure this whole 'mental health' thing out. I wanted (NEEDED) a solution for my own kids...not a possible solution but a sure-shot, carved-in-stone solution. A solution that used my knowledge of the basic human needs for love, acknowledgement and personal connection. And so I did. I gave it my all, and I get results for my readers.
