Very informative commentary
By John Garceau on 12/20/2020
I learned many things that will help me in my journey to help my broken family. It is a boost to confidence and personal sense of presence I've been seeking to build one step at a time.

Good course, I was very impressed with the beginning content and was questioning why was this rated below a 5. But now I see that it is not a very long course at all. (only 2 hours) Bit disappointing and not as good of a values as thought. PS I very rarely every write reviews.

Yes. It is interesting and relevant. I have learnt a lot already.
This was really good. It was concise and well delivered. Just about the right length but I am intrigued now and would be happy to do a follow up.

Great course that goes over the concepts and ideas of normal psychology as well as Dark Psychology. I liked the case studies and the research-based information centered around psychology that was present throughout the course. it was extremely informative and made the presentation very engaging. Keep up the good work, Cheers!
