Quotes by Rupert Isaacson (?)

“there can be no real separation between a parent and a child: one love, one heart, always and for ever.”
― Rupert Isaacson, The Long Ride Home: The Extraordinary Journey of Healing That Changed a Child's Life

0 likes

“Slowly, I put my hand on my heart, breathed. I felt the shift almost immediately: the good feeling as oxytocin gradually replaced cortisol, the stress hormone that had been flooding my body, making me want to lash out, flee, dive down a hole. It鈥檚 okay. I started to say the words Kristin had taught me, a technique she had used during her training workshops and which had proved so effective that universities around the world now recognized it.”
― Rupert Isaacson, The Long Ride Home: The Extraordinary Journey of Healing That Changed a Child's Life
