Hi Miriam, Glad you caught the article and it was helpful to you. I am in the process of transferring all of my work that I had on Lulu to Kindle Direct. However, what I'd like to do is send you a free copy of 'A Child Abuse Recovery Workbook for Adults and Teens' if you would be willing to write a brief review of it for Amazon/Kindle. Just send your email to krillco@gmail.com and will send it along pronto!

I followed a link on your article "Self Esteem Damages in Abused Children" that talked about a resource for adult recovery from child abuse. I got really excited and I came to your website, but then I was disappointed because I could not order it or download an e-book Can you please tell me when "A Child Abuse Recovery Workbook for Adults and Teens" will be coming out in print and on Kindle? I can't wait to get my hands on it. Thank you.

Just found you after searching for answers to help my daughter after her 3rdto suicide attempt. Reading your articles was like replaying a great deal of the past year. Thank you for giving me some hope in this chaos.

Just discovered your Gentling Book. Execellent! It is an answer to our prayers for our son. We adopted him at the age of 9.

I look forward to our future sessions. I am excited about finding a counselor with same religous beliefs. Religion is a part of who I am and in order to get better I need to be challenged and moved by my faith. Thank you.
Hi Samantha, any time a person becomes a foster parent, it's quite simply a miracle in my mind...and being single, doubly challenging! My advice is to learn how to press really, really hard to get accurate information about kids you are considering to take into your home. Many times, caseworkers are so desperate for a home for a child that they downplay the nature of the child's issues. Of course, unless you fully understand the various mental health diagnoses that children can have, you will always be 'snowed'. You will soon find that you have a talent in working with kids with certain diagnoses, while not others. Love does go a long way, but love is not enough; it takes skill to care for these kids.

I really value your expertise as I'm on a steep learning curve, while my husband and I go through the adoption process in the UK. Thank you.

I loved your workshop in Toronto on the weekend. I hope you don't mind that I have posted a link to your webpage for our foster parents. We deal with PTSD frequently and appreciate all the information we can get.

Hi Bill, I've just been pointed in the direction of your book, Gentling and found everything that I read very useful. After reading it I decided to read into you a little more and found your articles on 'The History Connection' and 'Triangulation effects in families'. And found them both also to be of great use to me. Thank you for seeming to make sence of a lot of concerns for me.
SOme folks have a problem with the format that they are in, that's why I post most of them on Hubpages or Scribd as well. Try my book, it's even better!

I so appreciate your understanding of the PTSD subject in children and the long term effects through the lifespan. Having read your paper, Developmental Sequleae of PTSD in Children, online I tracked you down and found this incredibly rich source of information but for some reason I am not able to access the articles. are they still available to read?

Bill after touring your website I see that you are a person who understands that We adult victims of child abuse carry alot with us and not the type of person who will tell us that we should just forget about it that it will just go way. I've been waiting over 40 years for the pain to go away Thanks for being Here

I would like to have your permission to quote you and cite your works for a research paper I am doing in my Intro to Psych class on the brain and PTSD. Thank you so much, Norma
That's great, Joe. Email a copy of the paper when it's complete, I'd like to read it.

I would like to use your information on Brain chemistry and PTSD for my social psych paper, on obedience and aggression and its affects on the U.S. Military. i am interested on a personal note as I have 30% disability for PTSD from Desert Storm. Thank you, Joe Robinson
Hi, Bill. My husband and I have an appointment with you on Wednesday to work on repairing our marriage. We've both been on your website, getting to know you before we see you. I love your blog! So many times, while reading, I said to myself, "Yes! He understands!" My husband is not the counseling type, even his daughter is amazed that he has agreed to talking things out with a 3rd party. That's because I sent him your website address, he did research and agreed because he believes that you are the first counselor that made any sense! We are looking forward to seeing you on Wednesday!
I agree with the amendment 
Other positive examples would be the reaction to spontaneously make a change in music or a painting..without thought..a whimsical stroke that brings it to life against the plan. or perhaps that reaction to a kindness that causes you to return a quick kiss without thought, so without thought that the blush comes after the fact. Bad example would be to be bumped in the crowd and you lash out in return. But to only respond, to always be calm, soothed, would be missing some of the passion, the energy, that makes life so much more fulfilling...more fun Would you not agree?

I agree with you catz, there is nothing inherently wrong with reactivity per se. I do not specify and detail things as much in my blogs as I do in my articles. I would amend it to 'negative reactivity'. Some reactivity, of course, is positive, like when we grab a little one so as not to run into the street after the ball.
I read with interest your recent blog on 'reactivity'. I entertain a difference of thinking of that word. I offer the thought that reactivity is not always a negative. Reactivity can be something spontaneous, fun, lively, like a spark, that can indeed create a synergy of life all its own. Not necessarily harmful. While responding seems more thought out. More controlled. Perhaps both needed for a more complete fulfillment in life. Neither good in its extreme.
I look forward to reading more of your thoughts.

Hi Bill:
I hope you, Anne and your boys (young men) are well. I had to access a web-site on my favorites list that was above yours, so, I took the time to say hi. Stop in and see my when you get the chance. Take care. - Don

I just bought "Gentling" looking forward to reading it. Became a fan of yours during your short stint on Daily Strength. Wish we were closer to you...feel my family would really benefit from your guidance.
Thanks for what you do!
