I thought I’d tell you a bit about me and about where I can see *you* going….
I have a Ph.D. But what I am most proud of is my children and grandchildren. They all came out well!
(and cute!)
I’ve got four children; three are married with kids and they’re all great! I’m lucky because three of my children live only half an hour away so I get to visit whenever I want. I live by myself; my husband of 39 years passed away four years ago.
I was raising these four children and out of the blue my husband tells me I ought to go back to school. I thought he was crazy. Who would feed the kids? He said he would. Ha!
(My husband made a lot of chili, the one thing he knew how to cook, and he bought a lot of pizza.)
But there was a problem at the back of my mind over the years since I started working with people in therapy: I found the way we therapists work was awfully unorganized. We made progress very slowly and sometimes people got tired of that.
Sometimes they dropped out before we saw results. If only I could take the best of the best and use it and not waste time with going over what wasn’t working and didn’t feel good to people.
And so, my program Love Yourself , Love Your Marriage was born. I wanted an organized program that had tools which get you results. Proven results. And that’s exactly what it is. I’ll get back to this in a moment. . . .
Because there’s more to my story. The part that’s hard to tell you.
But I will. Because it maybe will help you understand why I’m so committed to helping.
Remember I said my husband died four years ago? My husband was a diabetic. Who refused to stick to healthy eating habits. And yes, I nagged. Because I could see him falling down into the Pit.
Nagging is the very thing that doesn’t work as you’ve learned yourself. And it’s clearly a no-no in my book. But I was very scared that I was losing him so I violated my own rules. And I was. Losing him, that is.
And I did.
Because he was not going to listen. Period. He wanted the fun of life – he taught me to laugh – but he couldn’t deal with reality. He wouldn’t listen. And me being a therapist didn’t help at all.
Because, see, I can’t help everyone. I can’t help people who won’t commit to doing what it takes for a better way of life.
So he would joke. “Sure, I’m watching my diet. I’m watching myself enjoy this delicious piece of cake, hahaha.”
Well, the diabetes led to breakdowns in his body. The unthinkable happened. Tough and funny as he was, he didn’t make it.
So I’m passionate about reaching all the people out there that will listen, and do want to learn and grow, and will swallow the hard realities of life so that they can make it.
So here’s a question for you:
Are you both the kind of people that will listen to a coach who has decades of experience as a therapist?
Will you do the work I give? Will you make time? Because changes require practice. You can’t be a great basketball player or piano player if you don’t practice.
If you will do the work, great! Then perhaps my program is for you.
It’s a 12-week intensive group and personal coaching program with 1:1 and joint therapy and a powerful educational component.
Here are the results you will get:
*Taming Your Triggers – so you don’t jump down your partner’s throat, or run the other way, or go numb. You’ll be totally aware of your emotions. You’ll be able to control what has not ever been in your control before.
*Self-Validation so that you never have a doubt, not for a second, about your value as a human being. It’s only with self-valuing that you can expect your partner to value you. (This mountain is not too high! I promise! It’s hard but it’s doable.)
*Compassionate Honesty so that you have the ability to speak your truth in a way that deepens the connection between you rather than pushing your partner away.
