Acknowledgments

I wish to thank my friend and editor, Bonnie Hesse, for her brilliance and her willingness to work at breakneck speed to complete this book on time. Working with Bonnie is truly a gift.

I wish to thank all my clients for their own dedication to Inner Bonding, through which I learn so much.

I wish to thank Barbara Friedman for her loving support of my own Inner Bonding process.

I wish to thank my family—my parents, Charlotte and Izzy Brustein; my children, Eric and Lisa; Josh, Sheryl, and Bobby and Jenni; and my Aunt Anne—for their loving support and caring.

I wish to thank my husband, Jordan Paul, for his dedication to his own Inner Bonding process, which, along with my own inner work, has led to our reconciliation.

I wish to thank Dr. Erika Chopich, not only for teaching me Inner Bonding and for her contribution to this book, but for challenging me to become all that I can be.
