Sh*t Happens

We are all shaped by our childhood and our life experiences - good or bad. We can't control the sh*t life throws at us, but we can learn to control our responses to it and to get ourselves back to a state of balance. Kyle MacDonald Introduces advice and concepts that he uses in his practice to help people understand why they act and think the way they do. Regardless of the responses you may have developed to this point, you are not locked into these behaviours - your past doesn't have to dictate your future. Drawing on over twenty years of experience, he outlines the key concepts, and how you can use the theory of psychotherapy to change your life for the better.
