“Dear Dr. Reay

I found your full-day seminar today extremely educational and well put together. It touched on so many issues which are particularly interesting to me and will be of great use in my situation as an alienated parent. While I have been discouraged over the past 3 years with the inability to be able to see my 3 children, I am very encouraged by the advanced treatment approaches you shared with the audience today. This is very much needed as I have exhausted other alternatives that are currently available in our region. Thank you ever so much for the valuable information. I just hope you are able to train as many therapists as possible with your model and approach.”

“Dr. Reay

Thank you. This was a great course. It was very helpful  and practical in so many ways. I so appreciate your gender neutral stance as having read some of the more dated material I anticipated more mother blaming! I value the way you approached this and to me it makes the material much more user-friendly. The registration process was very smooth, easy and straight-forward. Your booklet of Powerpoint handouts and your book – Toxic Divorce – are very helpful.  It was a very interactive presentation with all the videos, slides, discussions and exercises provided. Thanks. I’m so grateful you are doing this work.”

“Dear Dr. Reay,

I wanted to thank you for your talk on Sunday. I learned a great deal, but more importantly you affected many of the targeted parents that were in attendance, in a motivating way. The other speakers at the conference were effective at getting their vital information across, but I have to say that your approach was the most human and compassionate one.  As a targeted parent I clearly recognize that it isn`t only the fault of the alienating
parent, as desperation to maintain some kind of positive emotional attachment to your child can make you do irrational things (like bad-mouthing your ex). The many adjectives you had in your presentation, 
brought up for me, the resultant pain and suffering that the children go through, as well as the targeted parent. Fortunately, when I stood up at the end of your speech, a group of targeted parents submitted their names and emails and we are looking for a venue to begin a support group. I have a confirmation from a family mediator that she will attend as moderator to provide resources and guidance. What I did learn this weekend, is that I cannot give up fighting for custody, for the sake of my children.  P.S. I am more than willing to be a participant in your upcoming study on alienated parents. Thank you again for your very sincere and personable approach at the conference.”

“Dr. Reay, I attended your speaking engagement at the Canadian Symposium for Parental Alienation Syndrome the other day.  I’m an alienated father and haven’t seen my children for over 18 years. Ever since I heard you up on the stage, I have some renewed faith in the mental health system. My family saw three different psychologists in two different provinces. None of them knew what PA/PAS was and falsely believed that I was the perpetrator of child abuse. They all engaged in therapist alienation and discouraged my kids from having contact with me. Thank you for all your time and effort in training professionals throughout our nation to understand what PA/PAS truly is and the damage it does to families like mine.”

“I am grateful for your compassion and dedication towards enriching the lives of alienated families.  I’ve come away with so much understanding, knowledge, resources and tools to help assess, diagnosis, and treat alienating parents, alienated children, alienated parents and extended family members.  Public recognition and professional recognition for the emotional harm alienation causes is pertinent. Thank you for providing up-to-date scientific research and resources for helping me work with toxic divorce cases.  I look forward to taking more training with you in the near future.”

“Wow! Am I ever glad I attended this program. You are an amazing speaker. I can’t tell you how much you were able to pick me up from the feelings of doom and gloom. I feel so empowered and am ready to use your strategies to help get my daughter back from my ex who has programmed her to hate me.”

It was a very empowering presentation and I plan to utilize all the information and strategies provided.  Your handouts and book are also treasured gifts. Thanks very much!”

“I have attended one other seminar and another national symposium on PAS before.  Quite frankly, you have got to be the best speaker on this topic. You are so very knowledgeable, compassionate, empathic and dedicated to helping and treating alienated children and alienated parents like myself.  I just hope you come back to Montreal and do this again.”

Dr. Kathleen M. Reay will be presenting

Toxic Divorce: Concepts, Understanding and Powerful Strategies for Alienated Parents and Professionals 

as well as

Certification in Advanced Training for Mental Health Professionals: The Ins and Outs of Effectively Assessing, Diagnosing and Treating the Highly Complex Continuum of Parental Alienation

throughout the United States and Canada in 2012.

If you or your organization have an interest in sponsoring or hosting Dr. Reay, please contact our Events Director at drkathleenreayevents@shaw.ca  for more information. Thank you for your potential interest in helping as many alienated children, targeted parents and extended family members who are facing this horrific form of abuse. Therapists who are not trained in the special techniques that these families require often fall into the trap of believing the alienating parent and the programmed child and make the egregious mistake of contributing to the problem. There are few therapists that have had advanced training in how to handle these cases and the need is great. If you are a mental health professional and this is a specialty that interests you, you could make a powerful contribution to the distressed families that are affected by a serious dysfunction that far too many divorcing parents and their children experience.
