Star Statement: "Connection is the energy that exists between people when they feel seen, heard, and valued; when they can give and receive without judgement; and when they derive sustenance and strength from the relationship." Dr. Brene Brown. Every therapeutic tool I use is secondary to the genuine, human-to-human connection we build together.
