Hi Dr. Dougherty,
I had the great pleasure of working with your beautiful mother last weekend! On her table was your book which you mom immediately told me about! I bought it and am just beginning to read it. I just wanted to share with you how inspired I was by your mom. She shared many amazing stories with me of her life. The time with her went so fast and I just couldn’t get over how fascinating she was! I look forward to reading your book. I have a problem with controlling my stressful thoughts and know it will help me.
Thank you in advance ☺
