In this video, Claire describes how she overcame shyness through a series of coincidences that lead her to develop Making Moves and the Sunflower Effect.

Claire speaks about the difficulties that many introverts experience in an extraverted culture and how she overcame these difficulties through drama. This is what lead her to developing the the Sunflower Effect

Claire speaks about Silent Anger quoting from Cicely Berry’s book Text in Action, This is followed by a participant, “Karen” (not her real name) speaking about her experience of how her “silent anger” was released and resolved through participating in an Individual Session and Breakthrough Plus.
