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.
