The butterfly effect states that small changes can have a big impact.  At therapeutic butterfly effects, we believe that small changes individuals make can have a huge impact in one’s life.  It can be a small change such as allowing oneself to have a different thought, focus on a different feeling, and/or try a different behavior.  Positive changes bring about positive effects
