“One girl that I was thinking of, she was really scared to go to sleep at night. She’s about 11. We worked together and she kind of connected with some inner guides like animal friends. Having conversation with them and receiving information, pretty soon she was feeling good. In fact she imagined a giant dragon around her bed protecting her from any bad stuff and a tiger by her door. Just like a month or so later, she was mentioning to a friend that she’s sleeping through the night now and she’s using her imagination. Her friend said, ‘That’s stupid. How could that help?’ She said, ‘My fears come from my imagination so I had to go into that realm to help myself.’” – Dr. Charlotte Reznick
