Testimonials
- The workshop really helped me understand what addiction really is and ways to overcome it. This is amazing and a great eye opener to the journey of recovery. I recommend 100%.
- This course, and the Laurel Centre in general, including the associated support services like the books and Pivotal Recovery, has been the only thing that has made sense of my addiction. Meeting other people in the same situation as me has been one of the biggest turning points in my acceptance of my behaviour and my desire to change. The facilitation of the course is fantastic, with exceptionally talented people, gently guiding and challenging your behaviour with compassion. If you are scared, worried or think there is no one out there like you, be brave, do the course, it will change your life.
- Signing up to a course like this is a bit of a step into the unknown and can be quite daunting, however I found the course hugely insightful for myself and would highly recommend it no matter where you think you are at in your journey of recovery.
- I was very anxious about the meeting, more about how it will turn out and whether it will be another waste of time etc... But it was incredibly powerful, especially knowing other people who struggled like me in their daily life and were looking for help. I am already booked for the Intensive Online Course and I'm so excited and hopeful about my recovery.
- The course was brilliantly delivered by the facilitator and her expert knowledge on the subject. She was able to answer all of the attendees questions and gave very much needed insight and wisdom for us all to take away and ponder on. I would definitely recommend this course to anyone who is looking to understand their partners needs in such a traumatic time.
- I truly feel that the course will help anyone that is struggling with the ability to show their partner empathy in this situation and I would thoroughly recommend attending this course to anyone that intends to grow further.
- Very helpful and insightful course to look deeper into and understand the trauma and devastation felt by partners when betrayed.
- After years of hiding what has been going on in my marriage, I am so pleased I was brave enough to sign up for this course. To finally understand the behaviour my partner has displayed/carried out over the years has really helped. It’s not me! I am also really grateful for the wonderful strong women I have met on this course and the support group we now have.
- The facilitator helped us create a supportive and open group where I felt safe to share. I can’t believe that I talked as openly as I did as until this point, I hadn’t told anyone about my husband’s addiction. I have felt guilty, ashamed and embarrassed but it felt wonderful to be able to talk about it. It helped me to understand and recognise my trauma. and gave me tools to support myself. Thank you for helping us through this.
- The course was immensely helpful in so many ways — in terms of the information learned, yes — but even more so in being able to meet, talk to and hear the stories of other women going through such similar challenges. It really made me feel, maybe for the first time, that I really am not alone
- A fantastic building block to start recovery from this horrible addiction. The course was delivered in a professional yet relaxed manner with the facilitators vast knowledge of the subject evident from the outset. This is a must for anyone seeking to overcome compulsive sexual behaviour.
- The course has completely transformed the way I see my life, past , present and future. I was nervous and sceptical of working in a group however I knew it was time to stop hiding. The group dynamic allowed me to understand more about myself through the stories and eyes of others. The course is for those who really wish to commit to making a change and are willing to open up their heart and mind to new possibilities.
- I was reluctant at first to join the course. ‘We are British, for heaven’s sake!’ and really don’t bare our souls publicly. However the opportunity to share with others on similar journeys was immensely valuable – frequently another member of the group expressed what I was struggling with much better than I could as he described his own circumstances. We became a Band of Brothers on a tough but achievable journey – that’s quite a thing compared tackling the challenge ‘alone’.
- A truly transformative experience! Brilliant content that really helped answer fundamental questions I’d been wrestling with for years. A must for those that are struggling with compulsive behaviours.
