When I read Hidden Epidemic, I was pleasantly surprised with Dr. Butler’s insight and experience in developing an effective treatment program for clients who have been traumatized through past events. This form of psychotherapy is not a short-term approach but a long-term growth experience.

We could not believe what we discovered about the impact early traumatic events had on our lives as individuals and as a couple. To gain this awareness from the powerful questions in this book make it worth its weight in gold. The steps to making change in our behaviors were small and achievable. You owe this program to yourself. It can be life-changing for you as it has been for us.
