July 2011

I am shocked at what I learned? (7/25-29/11)
I came into this experience with an open mind, wasn’t sure what to expect but am
leaving very hopeful and encouraged. (7/25-29/11)
Learning about the Fear Cycle (buttons), communication (Heart Talk) will be very
effective to the growth of our marriage. (7/25-29/11)
This exceeded my expectations, it was a great experience. Thanks so much!!!
(7/25-29/11)
We loved learning about the Fear Cycle and having the confidence to be able to utilize it after we leave. (7/25-29/11)
Everything about this program was so beneficial! (7/25-29/11)
The safety we experienced created the space and freedom to finally (after 29 yrs) hear and be heard on a deeply personal level. I feel like we have made a break through in understanding and connecting. (7/18-22/11)
The Intensive met and exceeded all of my hopes – it’s almost hard to believe! (7/18-22/11)
Our therapist had a gift for affirming and encouraging while still challenging and coaxing us to take steps that are hard and even frightening. Most important: our big steps came from us – they are ours, not his. (7/18-22/11)
We had attended the Group Intensive a year ago so I had high expectations coming in and they were exceeded. (7/18-22/11)
I was able to develop trust in my spouse that I hadn’t been able to do previously. Practicing Heart Talk with the counselor was so effective. This program is less expensive than long term outpatient therapy and is FAR LESS costly than a divorce. (7/18-22/11)
Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to my wife and I on the phone a few weeks ago. We’d truly be in a much different place right now without your care and concern, I cannot thank you enough. We were given a lot of hope during our time at NIM last week. We see our relationship and how we were reacting to each other much differently now. (7/18-22/11)
Calculated out, the cost is well worth the time of just the therapists. This program far
outweighs the cost! (7/18-22/11)
The Heart Talk was so valuable, and also the skills presented and the time devoted to
discussion. (7/18-22/11)
Words cannot express the surprise and gratitude I have for NIM and its leaders after this intensive. It quite possibly is the BEST experience of my entire life. (7/11-15/11)
I was very skeptical and negative about the idea of a Couples Intensive in the beginning. The counselors helped us SO much, we feel ready to fight for our marriage! (7/11-15/11)
Surprisingly the group setting was so valuable to me. After the initial awkwardness, it
turned out to be hugely vital and encouraging. (7/11-15/11)
I would pay double had I known! (7/11-15/11)
The psychological aspect of the therapy and not focusing blame or focusing on detail
was so valuable to me. (7/11-15/11)
The experience of the Fear Cycle was amazing to me and life changing. It will not only
be an incredibly invaluable tool in my marriage, but in life in general. (7/11-15/11)
The group environment turned out to be very comforting! (7/11-15/11)
I would recommend this intensive with every fiber of my being! (7/11-15/11)
This experience was unbelievable! Very gifted Christian counselors. (7/11-15/11)
Top quality program that out weighs the cost. (7/11-15/11)
Being able to watch the other couples allowed for constant reinforcement. (7/11-15/11)
I had concerns about the group format, but see it works great! (7/11-15/11)
I was in awe of the Intensive program. (7/11-15/11)
I would pay 5 times more than I did, there’s no doubt in my mind. I hope to sponsor as
many couples as I can. It has meant that much to me. (7/11-15/11)
I had absolutely no expectations and you blew my mind! (7/11-15/11)
At first I thought the price was outrageous, but the value is priceless!!! (7/11-15/11)
I didn’t know what to expect coming in. I had hope but couldn’t visualize having
a healthy, loving relationship with my husband. I am leaving with amazing hope
and anticipation of what our relationship can and will be. (7/4-7/11)
I loved the safe environment, it was very important to me. The tools to build
intimacy, especially heart talk, were so valuable to me. I found the most effective
thing was the method of teaching and then giving practical steps and actually
practicing them. (7/4-7/11)
Learning about the fear cycle gave us tools that we desperately needed to
manage conflict, and most importantly to understand ourselves and each other.
(7/4-7/11)
I truly feel we’ve experienced and are on the verge of a marriage miracle. (7/4-7/
11)
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was a great experience. (7/4-7/11)
