Comments
Just to say thank you for this Rick Hanson interview 😊 I’ve been wanting to read his book, but due to mental health issues, I’ve been unable to read for some time. Being able to LISTEN to this has made my day! & will no doubt bear much fruit 😊
I have also shared it via Fb for my 300 closest friends, & emailed it to one in particular, who is in crisis & asked me for help, & she will certainly gain great benefit from this 😊
Love your work!
