Good to have

What a good start to have this book. It really opened my mind to new possibilities of being final free with this kind of tool.

AWESOME

It's very easy to use for an individual or in a session with clients. I like that there are "homework" type questions at the end of each chapter and worksheets you can photocopy to hand out or just use yourself
