"The weekend's shared vulnerability fostered trust and built a strong bond among us. Sunday's ending left me feeling genuinely sad, as if I were saying goodbye to friends."

"Working through the inner child and inner teenager work has shifted my self-perception, revealing how I unfairly blamed myself for things I couldn't comprehend as a child. Geraldine your genuine care was evident, and I appreciated it deeply."

"Thank you s much G and C for ALL the hard work, energy and fun."
"I would be interested in any events run by Transcend Trauma and will recommend to my friends."
"Thank you so much. Your knowledge, kindness, and compassion have truly transformed my life. After nearly 10 years of on-and-off therapy, these workshops have helped me reach realisations much faster. I have my last therapy session this week, and while I may return to it in the future, the growth and change I've experienced since you met me in 2024 have made me genuinely happy again."
