Testimonials

“I consider The Emotion Project to be one of the most powerful presentations on any subject I’ve ever attended. In fact, I was so impressed that, in my capacity as director of communications at A-B Tech, I arranged for her to present it to our college. Like Tracey’s, my connection to mental illness is a long-standing and personal one. In 1986, my brother, then 22, committed suicide after suffering from schizophrenia for six years. Those six years were among the most traumatic of my life, and although it makes me ashamed to admit, among the times when I have shown the least understanding to another human being. How I could have benefited from the insight I gained through Tracey’s presentation!”

“It appears to me that The Emotion Project is a powerful way of teaching persons about everyday realities of anguish and the possibilities for healing and recovery. The Emotion Project reaches inside the members of the audience to cut through the detachment that we often erect to insulate ourselves from understanding another person's life and challenges.”
