Isn't it odd how we accumulate knowledge? My neighbor's kid is a puppeteer. Has been since he was a little boy. Has studied with Paul Messner, Henson's people and others. In other words, he's got the chops.

When he was getting ready to look into colleges, they found out that UConn has the best puppetry program in the US.

So, I'm thinking your best option is to contact UConn and see what they have to say about your issue.

Puppets creep me out. The only therapy that would work on me would be some kind of aversion therapy. Even as a little kid I didn't like them.

Just go on google and type in this, puppet-therapy....and up came a whole bunch of sites to go to for this subject...hope this helps you to find what your looking for....you learn something new everyday...I guess this is my lesson for the day...I've never heard of this....good luck...bye.
