Testimonials

Being a fireman was all I ever wanted. But after the fire that took two of my buddies, I lost the desire to be a firefighter. It was all mixed up for me with what happened and all the bad memories. Your book helped me to learn how to heal myself and gave me back my life.
[John, age 41 ]
Trauma is more complex than I ever thought. When I think about it now, after reading your book, I finally understand what effect the rape had on me.
[April, age 42 ]
Awesome. This inner quest I’m on in really turning around my life.
[Codi, age 25 ]
Nowadays, as a dyed-in-the-wool codependent, I understand that this is not all bad. I have great empathy, drive, which I use at work as a public defender, and with your guidance I’m using all this to finally help myself heal. Pretty good.
[Margaret, age 54 ]
At this point I see things differently. I understand that my identity as an ACOA is more of an umbrella concept. I realize that what has been under that umbrella is trauma, lots of it. Your Self-Parenting approach to trauma and codependency has made a dramatic change in my life. I now know what I am healing from.
[Cillia, age 32 ]
I now feel I have a roadmap to deal with my trauma from my childhood, trauma re-awakened during my deployment. Not a surprise, it resulted in my taking care of everyone but myself. This I now understand was my codependent reaction. Thank you!
[Tim, age 40 ]
I never knew that my codependency was really a strength; I always thought it was a problem. After having read Healing Trauma through Self-Parenting, I have come to understand that I am stronger than I thought.

[Jeanne, age 31 ]
