Pain is a great motivator.
Chances are that you are in some sort of crisis in your life, and it seems easy to just give up.
Feelings of sadness, extreme shame, fear, and overwhelming guilt seem normal. Healthy connections can be hard to find.
It has to be dark before we can even appreciate the light.
Are you “sick and tired of being sick and tired”?
Are you weary of living a “double life” or just “faking it” when you secretly yearn for a different, full life?
All is well – let’s get started.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away……
David feels like a fraud.
David is a successful bank manager, is financially secure, has a host of friends in the AA community, and has a loving partner named Lilly…
He felt “icky” in 12-step meetings, was attracted and “turned on” by newcomers, and was powerless over his thoughts of romantic and sexual fantasy.
David secretly spent hours on his computer watching porn and was becoming more and more out of control.
Lilly caught him.
He lied at first and tried to deny it, but then “swore off” and promised Lilly that he would not view any more porn and focus all of his sexual and romantic energy to his partner.
And he meant it.
David could not quit.
His porn usage escalated, his dishonesty continued, and it took more and more of his life and free time. Finally, in an effort to achieve the “ultimate orgasm” he viewed illegal porn and was unfaithful to his partner (boundaries he swore to himself that he would never cross).
He had an initial awakening.
David woke up one morning and thought, “This has got to stop – I will lose everything!”
He did an online search for a therapist who specialized in sexual addiction and that one call began a process that changed everything.
With the help of his therapist, group, and new 12-step community David was able to shine light on his “shadow self,” feel supported and seen, and walk with his head held high as he healed from his trauma and shame.
He is now a sexually sober asset to his community and a gift to all that know him.

Karen’s insides don’t match her outside appearance.
Karen witnessed domestic violence in her home and was traumatized when her father went into rages and beat her mother.
Karen never felt safe at home, was always focused on her friends and “fixing their problems” as an adolescent and an adult, and had limited experience with healthy relationships.
Karen’s husband Robbie, who adores her, has noticed that she has mood swings and nightmares at times. He does not understand why she could be “okay one minute and freaking out the next.”
Karen had difficulty at work receiving “constructive criticism,” was prone to gossip about others, and had really limited experiences with feelings of joy and happiness.
Karen woke up one morning and decided she could not stand to live this way anymore.
She did an online search for a therapist who specialized in post-traumatic stress and mood issues. She began a healing process that day.
With the help of her therapist, Karen explored unresolved feelings about her childhood, learned to resource and calm herself when she got “activated,” and also identified and changed the negative beliefs about herself into positive ones doing a series of EMDR sessions.
Karen now enjoys peace of mind, improved relationships at work, and her marriage has changed for the better now that she understands her triggers and available coping skills from therapy.
Hi, I’m George.
Recovery is the path to the “authentic self.”
We must shed light into the darkness of your soul, feel the pain, and embrace the healing.
We must become transparent in order to experience a “rebirth.”
