Read Thaw Free Online
THAW – Freedom from Frozen Feelings, is a book about the emotional wounds of abandonment, shame, and contempt created by growing up in a less-than-nurturing family. If you experience abandonment issues, emotional flooding, toxic shame, or a pattern of dysfunctional relationships, or you help people who do, THAW – Freedom from Frozen Feelings is a “must have”.
Moderate-to-severe cases of abandonment come from situations in which the child does not fully or consistently get their emotional dependency needs to be met such as when the child lives in a shame-based family system. In such families, the children get messages of disapproval through constant criticism rather than messages of approval and warmth. A shame-based family system is characterized by the parent’s use of shame to provide direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take Insurance?
No, we do not pursue insurance reimbursement for several reasons. However, we can provide clients with a special invoice called a “Superbill” which has all the relevant information and is accepted by virtually all insurance companies (although they may deny the coverage)
Because we take self-pay clients only, we are able to keep our fees far below the Usual and Customary Rates (UCR). Other benefits include that your services are more discrete, confidential, and private because they don’t go into a national database as when you use insurance benefits.

How do online sessions work?
It is important to have a webcam and a good internet connection such as high-speed internet and broadband. If that is not possible, then telephone sessions are the next best thing. Our TeleMedicine software is very versatile allowing us to share our screen, make presentations, conduct small groups, do couples counseling online, meet with family members in different locations, and share a whiteboard. We can train families who are spread out at various locations across the country on such topics as how to do an intervention with a loved. The opportunities and possibilities are unlimited.
