October Testimonies

My wife and I attended the intensive in 07 and absolutely loved
it. We came home with the workbook and have referenced it many times
in the past few years. I was wondering if I could get another copy
of that workbook. Mine is pretty beat up and missing a few pages. I
am willing to purchase it if necessary. I value the information and
would love to continue using it as a reference. (Rec’d on 10/27/11)
This program was insanely effective!!!! I loved learning the Heart
Talk. (10/24-27)
To what was gained attending this Intensive, it was an excellent
value! (10/24-27)
I appreciated feeling understood/validated by the others in the
group. I wish this incredible program was more well known, as in so
many people could benefit from this. (10/24-27)
I found that we could forgive eachother and myself and I learned
tools on how to move forward from this program. (10/24-27)
I am a big “money” person and the cost scared me, but it was so
worth what we had to pay. You can’t put a price on marriage! (10-24-
27)
A miracle was performed in my marriage! (10/24-27)
The group dynamic was awesome, and after experiencing the Intensive
I now know I would have paid more. (10/24-27)
For me the experience, the act of going through and participating
was more powerful than the tools. (10/24-27)
I wasn’t sure that a group format would provide enough attention
to our own personal issues. It ended up being a remarkable tool in
facilitating the healing process. There is great power behind others
stories! (10/24-27)
I have already recommended this program to my sister and brother-
in-law. (10/24-27)
The accommodations, food, service, compassion, and programming were
obviously planned to the very last detail. Nothing could have been
done better. (10/17-20)
I loved the “safety” and the permission to “feel” and be real! (10/
17-20)
Nothing was done half way! No band-aids here! Clean out the wounds
and be real! (10/17-20)
We loved the “Work Talk” vs “Heart Talk”. (10/17-20)
I came in with no hope, but out of obligation. The Intensive dealt
with issues that I had no idea I had. (10/17-20)
This Intensive has brought hope back to my life and marriage. (10/
17-20)
I came with no expectations for my marriage and I am leaving with
the possibility that hope remains. (10/17-20)
All I can say is that God worked a miracle! (10/17-20)
This program taught me how to communicate better and properly. (10/
17-20)
Miracles really do happen!!!! (10/17-20)
I had a fair amount of apprehension thinking about how the week
was going to play out, but those fears were quickly forgotten. Our
therapists were exactly what we needed as leaders of the group.
It became obvious very quickly that they had great insights into
relationships and spoke from their experiences mixed with a great
emphasis on relying upon God's word for strength and comfort. This
note could be long and detailed, but I will just say that we have a
new level of understanding and insight into one another's fear cycle
and how to deal with it differently. The host couple was great in
their role, their light hearted personalities and loving spirits
set the tone for the week. This note falls short of telling you how
helpful the week was, nor does it reflect our true appreciation and
gratitude. Long story to tell made short by the reality of "I have to
go to work". Thanks again...Thank you Jesus (10/17-20)
I had no idea that sharing in a group such personal struggles would be so helpful! (10/
10-15)
I didn’t know what to expect. I thought it would only or mainly be targeted towards the marriage. It was a great experience and great to know that our individual well being was first and to learn how to care for ourselves first so we can take care of the marriage was of great inspiration! (10/10-15)
Our therapist did an excellent job navigating our issues and directing us towards the root causes. (10/10-15)
What I found most valuable was a focus on what the root causes were for our problems and providing direction for how to approach those. (10/10-15)
We each felt so validated while becoming more aware of the negative contributions we
bring to the table. (10/10-15)
No amount of money in the world is worth more than my wife and family. Thank you
NIM! (10/10-15)
This was AWESOME! I’m leaving with great hope! (10/10-15)
I would love to have everyone experience what we just did. (10/10-15)
I felt the intensive was most valuable in honoring each of us as people. I never felt
judgment or harshness in any comment or question. (10/10-15)
We came with our marriage on the rocks. We’re leaving with new tools, a plan and great hope!! (10/10-15)
I was resistant to coming as I didn’t understand how this was going to help or what was going to be taught. I was very surprised! (10/10-15)
I loved the daily check-ins and the emotional check-ins. Even if you were not the
teacher in the moment they saw when I had a reaction to what was going on. (10/10-15)
I came with high expectations and that was the right thing to do. Wow, was it ever! Way to go!! Well done!! (10/10-15)
Our therapist’s transparency created authenticity loaded with 100% effort and laser
focus. (10/10-15)
Simplicity and clarity of principles repeatedly demonstrated as each couple/person was in the spot light. Drove it home, got it! (10/10-15)
There were no dead spots, idle time or diversions; all of it was of high value! (10/10-15)
This was very successful in meeting me where I was and lifting me above the water line
so I could get air again and swim the rest of the way with a strong pace. The group format was most encouraging as I connected with others on a significant level. (10/10-15)
Our therapists own vulnerability and transparency created an encouragement for us to
go there and explore our own struggles. (10/10-15)
VALIDATION! I discovered a new and freeing way to look at marriage. I love the 4
circles and 2 stick figures! The couples’s format was very effective for me to receive
through the others. (10/10-15)
If I would have known how comfortable this setting was I might have agreed to do the
4-day group Intensive.
You really can’t put a value on what has happened in our time here. This program
outweighs the cost.
Great insight gained on how to be whole as a person and how important it is to guard
your heart.
I didn’t know what to expect, but am very satisfied with the program.
I loved the Heart Talk and learning about our “fear” buttons.
Learning the Fear Cycle, Heart Talk vs Work Talk and 7 Steps to Win/Win will be so
effective for us.
I found that learning the ability to sense what triggers my reactions and how to process things BEFORE those reactions was so valuable for me.
