What people say about Dina Glouberman’s courses
Diploma student Heather, counsellor and hypnotherapist, has written:
“Dina offers far more than teaching a toolkit… she invites you to learn the language of a different world, where images have a life of their own. By becoming a participant in that world, you will come to know and trust yourself more, and become more courageous and sure-footed in guiding clients into their own inner terrain. And Dina’s warmth and humour enable a group to quickly become a community of friends… When she works with someone in her demonstrations, it is as if she is holding a torch for them, holding their hand and staying by their side as they find their way out of the darkness.”
Writer Sue Townsend wrote: “Dina Glouberman is wise and witty and an inspirational teacher.”
And a recent participant wrote “You have changed my life and helped me to have a second chance at living and being happy.”
