He was highly articulate and informative, while tending to the group energy and engagement.”“Very in-depth discussion around attachment [and] co-dependency, a lot of critical thinking and reflection involved. Highly appreciated.”“Boundaries are such a crucial topic that should be an ongoing consideration for clients and clinicians alike. It was very well covered.”“I will be aiming for more work with Michael in the future. A very thought provoking and effective clinician and facilitator.”
