after I did the course I have this strange self-mistrust about myself where children are concerned. I used to be really good with children, but the course has made me self-conscious and nervous with them. Children hate that more than anything. They smell fear.
And because I find adults often very hard to talk to (except on intellectual stuff, where I feel safer) it means that I am just much more isolated than ever. In other words, the course did more harm than good.
