WHO CREATED SKILLS WORKSHOPS & WHAT TRAINING IS INVOLVED?

The pain and peace concept taught in Skills classes first originated with Dr. Terry Hargrave PhD. Dr. Hargrave is nationally recognized and the founder of the Restoration Therapy model. Friends at therelationshipresource.org then created a comprehensive curriculum that take participants through a transformative process of self reflection. Facilitators of skills classes must attend extensive training in order to facilitate a skills group.
