I was in therapy off and on through well my elementary and HS. It wasn’t until college that it helped. I learned the “ease into the sound” technique, and a muscle-relaxation method that I still use t...

Dansker her! Jeg vil anbefale dig at tjekke McGuire kurset ud. Der afholdes nordiske kurser som regel i Sverige og danmark. Det har hjulpet mig rigtig meget, både i forhold til min talen men også men...

I am an alumni and used to get a lot of emails from HCRI before they closed asking for donations and “helping future stars” etc. I am pretty sure the reason was financial....
