I wish that my parents would have been able to read a copy of this book, when I was a little girl. I am absolutely positive if they would have been able to parent in this manner, treat themselves and each other with unconditional love, that all of our lives would have been better by miles.

I know they did the best they could. But if they’d had these tools (what the Beyond Consequences Institute teaches) I know there would have been a lot less darkness, heartache and loss in our lives.

I have attended four of Heather’s in person events this year:

1. “Beyond Consequences Live” – free with a copy of any of her 3 books in November

2. “Every Day is Mothers Day” – A healing conference just for moms – twice; once in May & once in October

3. “Intensive 2 Day Training” – for parents and professionals, in July [Read more →]

A testimonial for Heather T. Forbes, LCSW and Parenting Expert

“I have seven adopted kids all from disrupted adoptions. If the first families would have had the support and education of Heathers books and seminars they might not have disrupted.

“I’m 56 and have worked with troubled kids all my life. Heather has the best info out there. I myself was developing Hyper-Tension because what I do is so challenging. After I read Heather fist book my stress level dropped 50% because I finally found the answers I was looking for. I will be at the Nov. Seminar with my Bio Daughter, 28 and one of my adopted daughters, 14.

“I had always believed that a lot of the info out there on attachment was harmful and was actually adding to disruptions. [Read more →]

My book review that I just posted on Amazon.com:

“When I first met Heather T Forbes, I interviewed her on my weekly parenting
podcast. I was so impressed that I then read her books and it was like
a light went on inside of me. Finally after 32 years of being alive
someone could explain to me why I was the way that I was.

I had many of these behaviors growing up (lying, stealing,
hoarding, gorging, aggression, defiance) in private. To the outside
world I was beautiful, highly accomplished and friendly. However, my
first marriage crumbled, and only because of my second husband’s
unconditional love and understanding was I able to finally stop
stealing. But when I became a parent I was horrified at how reactive I
was to my daughter (our IVF biological child, no trauma).

Reading this book lead to so much self understanding and healing
for me – it was a GODSEND. Heather puts on a Mom’s Conference several
times a year that I went to in May of 09 and my life did a 180 from
then on. I was able to heal and forgive deep abandonment issues from my
childhood. No longer am I reactive the way that I was before I shifted
to the Beyond Consequences parenting paradigm.

Several years ago I was diagnosed with Bipolar and put on meds. I
do not feel that it was accurate, and I am no longer on medication to
deal with my moods.

Granted I have also changed my diet so that I eat more raw dark
leafy greens and fruits daily, something I didn’t before and that has
impacted my outlook on life tremendously. But as Heather says in her
online parenting classes based on this book, all the good food in the
world can’t help you if you don’t truly love yourself, deep down
inside, unconditionally.

Heather’s work will help you understand what that truly means and how to give it to your children.

I have used this understanding and these methods with my almost 3
yr old for the past 5 months with huge success. I think this book
should be retitled to apply to all human beings! Thank God I have the
tools to give my precious child the most loving and respectful
upbringing while respecting and loving myself as well.

I can’t recommend this book enough.

THANK YOU HEATHER!”
