Now normally this would have escalated to the point of a meltdown where behaviours of
concern would have come into play. This time I was not there to fix the problem but just
to acknowledge and sit with those not-nice feelings.

We've used this model now for 3 weeks and we haven't had ANY behaviours of concerns.

It has opened up my son's understanding that having emotions is okay and it is safe to be
able to sit with another, connect together and be in a space of empowerment and
healing. I have even expanded this to be included in all of Zion's therapy sessions. Even

the therapists are in awe of his new-found awareness and understanding of emotions. As
a parent, I don’t know how to explain, having done many years of therapy and seeing

small steps, that in just 3 weeks this amazing, powerful model of simplicity has changed
our lives. Now we are no longer living in a battle field but in a field of understanding,
acknowledgement, compassion and growth.

Thank You to the Reawaken and eCPR team.
