“Susan Warren is a gifted therapist - with superb clinical skills and the warmth and flexibility to tailor them to the needs of any given patient. I am confident that these same abilities would be present in her teaching. In fact, I've heard nothing but raves from her students. I have always been impressed with Susan's profound empathy for both patient and therapist, which surely helps her create an open learning environment.”

“I was so impressed with your "User Friendly EDT" presentation in LA. But even more, there is something so powerful about you, about your presence, that really spoke to me. I'm so glad to hear that you will be training therapists. You will be wonderful. One of the things I really loved about you is that I get this sense you are really there with the patient in an atmosphere of "we'll figure this out and go through it together." You convey hope and warmth. You will be terrific. You have an aura around you that feels safe.”

 

“It’s really your eyes and your presence. . . I think it's connected to compassion, but it comes out of you not just in your words or work, but a palpable presence.”  

         

Workshop Participant

 “Your face comes to mind often when I am in one of my moods where I’m being unkind to myself and a voice comes up that says, 'be gentle with yourself. Be kind to this magnificent woman.'  I see your eyes and I see the compassion that comes from them and I 'remember' to be present and real in my gentleness, to stop the self-hatred and stop the sabotaging personality from making me miserable.”
