What folks have said…
I listen to your podcast and your YouTube videos. I like the guest speakers. Your voice soothes and strengthens me. My emotional mother.
All I can say is OMG. 29 years. I cried with relief and understanding and validate I am not crazy or hard of hearing.
I enjoyed this program very much. There were tons of interesting anecdotes and advice and information. I feel like I gained a lot of insights and wisdom that will serve me well down the way in the future. I also feel like I met some really great people in my fellow classmates.
Your podcast saved me from a world of chaos, fog, confusion, and fear. Everything finally makes sense. I have been listening and learning, connecting the dots, and am tired of sitting in the reality “that this is terrible.” I want and need tools to break extremely unhealthy and deeply rooted family dynamics in order to save my sanity, my marriage, and my family. I especially do not want this to affect my children and how they approach, build, and maintain future relationships.
I love you Rhoberta Shaler; you have given me such power, inner strength, wisdom and invaluable insights. Thank you!
Wow, listening to this made me feel as if you are actually speaking to me. Thank you.
Coming from a non-functional childhood, being able to learn healthy relationship skills and techniques allows me to feel confident in myself as I grow. Thank you, Rhoberta, for your openness, skilll, and kindness throughout the program. I am confident the skills I have learned will make me a better person in all aspects of life.
The help and information you share makes me feel I can breathe again. I am not alone in this. Thank you.
I’ve just found your podcast this week, coincidentally on the 1st anniversary of my best friend’s death, man what a wake up! My wife is a Hijackal, Did everything you say. You might as well describe my wife by name. So I just wanted to say thank you, as I write this with tears in my eyes I know the road is long but it has to happen. Thank you for opening my eyes and giving me some oxygen and removing the blur.
Thank you Dr Shaler and may i just say, thank you for your work and your writings. You may have no idea just how much of a lifeline i have been thrown just by finding you and now your group.
