“As a clergy person, I was looking for a program that appreciated the skills I have for ministry while also exposing me to new and distinct skills related to systems thinking and the clinical practice of therapy. CFR has met and exceeded my expectations. My understanding of relationships has deepened in a way that enriches my congregational ministry, not so much through secret “tricks of the trade” (are there any, really?), but by cultivating my own self-awareness, empathy, and healthy boundaries. I have also connected with another vocational part of myself as a therapist, engaging specific therapeutic models and interventions and experiencing how they come to life when working with clients. There is a sacredness to this work, and I am grateful to be a part of it through my training with CFR.”

“This program has had an immeasurable impact on my life and those around me. It has helped me understand the human experience in a more profound way, and given me tools to help people in a much more significant and deep way. It cannot be understated how valuable this experience has been and how much I see the dividends paying off on a daily basis in my work and my life.”
