| "Emerson's documentation of the profound and pervasive effects of pre- and perinatal trauma, and the treatment techniques that heal those early wounds, provide a new structure for healing the deepest wounds and shifting the pervasive (and stubborn) patterns that traditional treatments have struggled with (usually unsuccessfully) for decades." | "There are few opportunities in life to train
with a master - and William Emerson is a master clinician and a master
teacher. His discovery of the differences in treating shock and trauma
is a major breakthrough in psychotherapeutic treatment. His documentation
of the profound and pervasive effects of per- and perinatal trauma, and
the treatment techniques that heal those early wounds, provide a new structure
for healing the deepest wounds and shifting the pervasive (and stubborn)
patterns that traditional treatments have struggled with (usually unsuccessfully)
for decades. The treatment methods developed and taught at Emerson Training
Seminars are the future of emotional healing. Emerson's deep, personal
experience in the techniques he has pioneered and now teaches allows him
to walk his talk more thoroughly and consistently than any teacher, guru,
mentor or visionary I've ever known. He is the work."

| "By plumbing the mystery of life before language, I have become fascinated with myself again, my soul's travels and bruisings." | "Each workshop of Dr. Emerson's that I have attended has
resulted in profound change-quantum leaps in my understanding of myself
and others, and a deepening of my creativity and spirituality. While the
focus of Dr. Emerson's work is one's earliest experiences, his approach
is expansive - the information that arises during regressions and other
activities is never shoe-horned into a dogmatic structure. Rather, poignant,
detailed chapters of one's history are allowed to take shape. By plumbing
the mystery of life before language, I have become fascinated with myself again,
my soul's travels and bruisings. I have recast my view of my own body:
it is a walking Rosetta stone, and the key to authentic memory."

| " I have a depth and richness in my relationships with my children and friends that I never would have dreamed possible from my previous vantage point. My work with clients too has become an ever deepening and richer experience." | "I took the workshops for my own personal
growth, although the work has also been useful in my work with hypnotherapy
clients. The biggest thing has been the transformation in my own personal
life. For example, I discovered that I had a great deal of anesthesia when
I was born, that I almost died from it, and that it affected my current
life in some very powerful ways. I realized that my tendency to space out, daydream,
go emotionally numb, and collapse in the face of the least bit of anger
were not the only way of being that was possible-although previously it
had been the only way of being that I had known. As I contacted my body
memory as well as my emotional memory of these experiences I began a journey
that has changed my life profoundly-I could say it has been like awakenening
from a deep, numbing sleep-but even more it has been reclaiming myself
and stepping out of the constant terror I had lived in, the terror of never
knowing when I would abandon me, go numb, feel catapulted into a black
hole, and lose myself as had been my early prenatal experience. While I
had much shame about the way I was in life, the isolation and "differentness"
I experienced, my reality and my relationships begin to change. As I continue
to mirror my own reality with more empathy and accuracy, I am also able
to mirror my children, family, and friends and clients? in new and heartfelt
ways. I have a depth and richness in my relationships with my children
and friends that I never would have dreamed possible from my previous vantage
point. My work with clients too has become an ever deepening and richer
experience."

| "William Emerson's blend of training and experiential learning is leading me deeper into myself and helping me to find the direction and passion I have longed for all my life." | "As a professional therapist myself, I have
sought the best therapists and approaches I could find for my own therapy.
Emerson was the first person who correctly and empathically identified
that my lack of substantial progress in therapy was due to the profound
level of unresolved pre-natal and birth shock I was carrying, and provided
the methods and deeply compassionate support for healing it. My work with
Emerson has been the necessary complement to my ongoing therapy that has
finally elicited the progress and growth I knew I could achieve. My shock
levels are now reduced about 85% and I expect to have cleared the rest
by the end of the summer. For the first time in my life, I can connect
from my heart and know what love is--it goes without saying that this has
enormously impacted how I do psychotherapy, and my clients are almost as
grateful to Emerson as I am! His blend of training and experiential learning
is leading me deeper into my self and helping me to find the direction
and passion I have longed for all my life."

| "William Emerson is a gifted Master Teacher and his work with infants is not only revolutionary, but imperative!" | "Emerson Training Seminars was the most important
training I have taken in my 25 year professional life. William Emerson
is a gifted Master Teacher and his work with infants is not only revolutionary,
but imperative! Learning from him transformed me personally and influenced
my professional work at fundamental levels."

| "The road less traveled takes you through your suffering to the other side and Emerson is a consummate guide on the path." | William Emerson is a master teacher and I believe he
is the foremost personality theorist of our time....The didactic part of
training is intensely juicy and interesting, penetratingly personal to
the listener, emotionally provocative, and therefore, spiritual. The road
less traveled takes you through your suffering to the other side and Dr.
Emerson is a consummate guide on the path. He is so connected inside that
he's the only master teacher of his caliber I have ever met who is the
same person as a teacher as he is as a friend. There's no 'therapist self'
and 'regular self' with Dr. Emerson."

| "His training has been invaluable to me in helping me learn more about that new world and how to facilitate babies and children in their healing." | "When I first saw Dr. Emerson work with a young baby
it was like opening a new window to a whole new world of healing and human
potential. His training has been invaluable to me in helping me learn more
about that new world and how to facilitate babies and children in their
healing. I highly recommend his training program to you. We need more of
us doing this work."
