El curso superó mis expectativas, al realizar los ejercicios descubrí aspectos que no había contemplado antes y que parecían muy sencillos, pero requieren un nivel de disposición y trabajo interno alto.

Tremendous course that I cannot recommend highly enough. This is self counselling and self cognitive therapy at it's best. Such a simple course and idea with such a dramatic effect. Thank you Ms Santos.
