Family members (two brothers and a father) about their loved-one who was counseled in therapy. One of the brothers speaking for the family:

You just won’t believe how things have changed. Our sister is no longer using drugs, she isn’t lying to us. In fact, she moved in with dad and me. We have dinner together. We actually talk about things going on in each other's lives. She is working again and loving her new position. Thank you so much for hanging in there and helping our sister learn to love herself, process grief, and find happiness again.”

There were times I didn't want to go to couples counseling, but I did it for my wife. What I ended getting out of it, even on the days I didn't want to go, was a new way of looking at myself, my wife, and our relationship. To be real, I started looking at life differently. I finally began to understand why my wife seemed so darn angry at me. I got to see her underlying pain. She and I both got to see why I was so defensive and why I would try to fix or advise my way out of the discomfort of listening to her pain or anger. I learned that she needed to be heard before we even started solving the problem.

Family members (a mom and daughter) about their loved-one (their father) who was counseled in therapy. Daughter speaking for both of them:

We could not be happier. He used to be a grouch and had a drinking problem for as long as I can remember. Now,  I have my dad back. Wait, I take that back, he’s even more of a dad than he’s ever been, he’s a new dad. I am grateful every day that we have such a close relationship now."

I just wanted to write you and let you know what has been happening since my mom finished her time with you. The other day I walked into the backyard and had to walk back inside because I broke down in tears. They were happy tears. I saw my mom, as old as she is, crawling on the grass on all fours with my daughter on her back chasing my son like she’s a lion. She has been coming over regularly. She actually moved a few blocks from us to be closer to us. I thought I had lost her. I thought my kids had lost their grammy. It was a tough road, but with your help we did it. We have her back and more present to boot!  I can’t tell you how grateful we are. Thank you.

What I want to say is that I am debt free because of your coaching. It seemed completely insurmountable and overwhelming at the beginning. Bit by bit, step by step, staying focused (or more like re-focusing often) got me debt free. Thank you for your patience, kindness, and the manner in which you re-directed me towards what I value.

Hi James. I wanted to let you know what I am up to nowadays. I have continued on my sober journey and have re-entered college! I have been working full time this whole time. I am connected with my dad and my sister and have even re-connected with my step-mom. I cannot thank you enough for sticking with me and believing in me and giving me tools.

I wanted to reach out to you to let you what is going on with me. I realize how much joy I have now. Don’t get me wrong, I still have silly thoughts that pop up, but with your help I’ve learned how to take care of those thoughts and myself so it does not steal me away to negativity and low self worth. I am able to enjoy the moments in my life. I’m able to enjoy THE PEOPLE in my life as well as walk away from those who don’t respect my boundaries. Yes, I am setting boundaries and watching out for my people-pleaser part. My family and friends notice the difference and so do I. I love me, all of me. And I actually feel the love from others. Thank you so much for being there and helping me find and recover my Self.
