Newest: 9-26-09 (I have added a new batch of testimonials but am only including a few of quotes from them here - to read more go to the testimonials page) "I've spent many hours combing through this site, and so many things resonate with me, that I cannot stop reading. Thanks for much for your work and brutal honesty. Right now, its my one source of sanity through these very painful times." "I am reading the brilliance of your words as tho my Soul is articulating
them simultaneously!!! What joy! All the Gods Bless You
Robert--I want to weep with joy and relief at having found your
website....I cannot tell you how hopeful I am perhaps for the first
time in my 49 years." "I just wanted to say thank you for healyourinnerchild.com!
. . . I have been emotionally abusive to my wife over the years.
. . . . The great thing about your website is that it helps me to
heal! Other online and published "sources" on emotional abuse
merely paint the abuser as a crappy guy, and that the woman needs
to flee the man. You, however, actually love! You actually
show where things have gone wrong. You actually show how to
help. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"" "Thank you for this! and as always
such apt timing for me, the web site on heal your inner child was so very
relevant to me and I thank you for your generosity of such information being
available." "WoW, I love your style of writing.
i am ssooo grateful to you for your newest web page healyourinnerchild.com "
"I am sitting here thinking how on
earth do i express my gratitude to you. This is how. I want to
go outside and explode with gratitude to my higher power." "I was just led to your website and I felt compelled to thank you for being you and for all that you do. I am so grateful for light workers like you!" "I've been reading an excerpt from your website related to fear of intimacy. You've hit so close to home, I'm astounded." "Just want to say Thank You!
I just recently found your website and have been working through your pages/steps
over the last week and already I feel they are having a huge
impact on me. I have been trying to figure out my internal
battles for years without ever understanding ANY of it till now.
You hit the nail on the head every time. Every page makes me go "WOW
- that's it!" Thank you, thank you, thank you. The people in
my life thank you!" "My name is _____, and I am a Program
Manager for a Crisis Center. . . . I just wanted to thank you
for your website, and all the information on it. It will be
very helpful not only to me, my staff, but also my current and future
clients! It has been hard for me to find literature on the subject
that has not been either judgmental in some way, or either over- or
anti-spiritual in other ways.........I find your descriptions to be
the most objective and simple of any others I have come across.
For that, I am grateful. Blessings to you and your work
and continued recovery!" "I am writing with deep gratitude for having found your work on codependency on the Internet. I am truly inspired by it!" "Since I have started reading your book, I immediately changed my perspective on life. I really am much happpier now than I have ever been and I feel at peace within knowing that everything does happen for a reason." "As always I am enjoying reading your website very much. Thank you for having it all that out there. Your website is great and I love your brutal honesty.""Bloody brillant article !! (referring to The Miracle of The Twelve Step Recovery Process - a formula for integration and balance) I'm really impressed with the subject and overall proper use of English language, . . . . May the universe bless you,mate." "I bought your book and donated to
your site. Both are simply awesome and should be required reading. It has
been helpful to be reminded that someone else's behaviour is not personal.
. . . Thanks for the reminder and all the wonderful work you do." "Thanks for the information about your
new websites. Your book really helped me some years back
in my recovery from food and relationship addictions and I have
continued to read from your website since then. Thank you
so much for the part that your experience and material has played
in my recovery." "I have read your book and alot of articles on your websites you
are amazing, you have helped me so much in seeing some of my
own issues." "I am in Peru and I have been thinking about you a lot, wanting
to share my experience with you as you have helped to get to this point of
healing my emotions and my wounded self. . . . You have planted a seed in
me to want to heal my inner being and for that I thank you very much and
will forever be grateful to you. My love to the cutest Darien as well
as your partner" To read some more of the wonderful feedback go to

Latest Phone Counseling Feedback (9-26-09) "There has been a significant and striking shift in my internal
world, and I certainly can attribute your guidance as the catalyst for such
an event!:)!! Thanks again for all your guidance, it really has changed
my life in a very significant way. I am very grateful our paths have
crossed." "At this point, I am going to need to cancel our appointment. It’s
purely a financial issue at this point, and once I start working
again, I would like to speak with you twice a month. Robert,
the positive impact of your work and counseling has had immeasurable
impact on me. I am very grateful." "I am hugely grateful to you for the grieving and healing process
that I have started, through you and your enormous and wonderfully
beneficial information - a big thank you for your advice, support
and nurturing." "Hope this finds you well. I have not spoken with you since our
last telephone conversation and that seems a lifetime ago. Lifetime because
I have gone full circle since then. . . . . I just want to say Thank you
for the foundation that was laid from our phone conversations in 2007 as
it has been the life raft that I "clung to when I started back this time.
All of the things that we discussed were still in there and they resurfaced
into my consciousness just when I neeed it most. I have been reading
the 12 Step Miracle today and I'm starting Step 4, again. This is valuable
stuff and it is just what I need at this time. Again, Thank you and know
that I appreciate you." "I want you to know that you are a VERY special person, not just
in my life, but to people all over the world. Your non-judgmentalness,
your courage to face your fears and your dedication in helping all
of us heal our wounding is truly amazing. You are one of the
best gifts I have ever received in my life. And I especially appreciate
your care, concern and support during this difficult time in my life.
It means so much to me I can't even begin to tell you." "Robert, I want to thank you for your part in my healing.
You have helped me focus on the grieving at a new level, and also to see
others as other spiritual beings which has helped so much with getting me
out of my black and white thinking. ((((Robert))))" "I have once again been blessed with your presence in my life, your influence and teachings will continue to bring me a new perspective and new behavior by which I will continue to realize more presence, more peace. Blessings to you Robert." |
