REVIEWS
“I just finished counseling my first client since my training with Respero. My client thanked me today as she described her new found ability to properly respond to extremely unhealthy behaviors within her family. My heart is full tonight and I am so grateful for your guidance that has given me the opportunity to do something so fulfilling.” Crystal
“Joe! I had the privilege of counseling women through their struggles—addiction, sexual and emotional abuse, family stuff, relationships, anxiety, depression, PTSD, etc. Everything I learned in your class was utilized to help in the women’s healing processes. Taking your classes helped me be well equipped to be a source of God’s love, His presence and His counsel in the lives of these women.” Ali
“This course has been profound. The audio lessons were well produced and the content was exactly what I’ve been needing to process through. Getting feedback about the homework assignments from Joe was encouraging and being able to meet each week with a cohort of other people wrestling with the content makes you realize you’re not alone.” Susan

Susan Hurley –
This course truly gave me skills I was looking for to work more effectively with people as they present an issue. I was more prepared to listen well, ask the right questions and help people to see what the next task and/or goal would be for them. I was able to understand my part in process as well as cautions I needed to take to be able to assist in moving the process forward. I highly recommend this class to anyone who finds themselves in situations where others are looking to them for counsel, coaching or mentoring.
