Growing Relationship

Growing Yourself Back Up is John Lee's book that thousands of therapists recommend to their clients every year. This lecture will help the listener recognize, prevent, and diffuse regression in ourselves and others.

He also reminds us that no matter how overwhelmed we are, adults always have options; if we believe we don't, we're in a regression.

Invincible seeks to change this lack of awareness and understanding with a compelling look at this important issue, informing and inspiring anyone who grew up living with domestic violence - and those who love them, work with them, teach them, and mentor them.
