Devorah Tarrow, Aesthetic Realism consultant and sociologist, says:

How can we really like ourselves, feel confident and proud? This is what Nancy Huntting was beginning to learn in her first Aesthetic Realism consultation. Consultations are the magnificent education in which women and men learn what it means to like the world and themselves on an honest basis. As a teacher of Aesthetic Realism, I’ve had the great pleasure and honor of seeing women feel deeply understood for the first time. When you read Ms. Huntting’s consultation, with its careful and ever so thoughtful questions, you’ll be learning about yourself, too. Introducing the consultation, Ms. Huntting writes:

Through consultations, instead of being consumed by doubts about whether a man loved me enough and would continue to, I began to learn what love really was. I was freed to use my mind to see meaning and value in the world as I never had before—including in men.
