Testimonials

I realized how to feel my internal emotions, how to process them and let them go. I learned how to verbalize my feelings in a positive and effective way.

I got a lot more out of this class that I thought I would. What I noticed in my marriage while taking this class
was that I found healthier ways in dealing with conflict. Before I always thought I was "right". Life Skills taught me to think in a different way – to solve issues by really dealing with the underlying feelings.

I have seen a definite improvement in my personal and social relationships. I find myself being more open and honest about my feelings instead of stuffing them. The class is a combination of anger management, personal counseling, couples counseling, a parenting class as well as neurobiology 101. It has proven to be an effective way to better understand why we are the way are and how to improve upon it. I am glad I took the class twice.

I was a very anxious person coming into this class. By learning to process my emotions more effectively, I have begun to relax and not take everything quite so seriously.

This program has made a huge difference in my life. People notice a change in my attitude. They notice my whole outlook on life has changed. I respond to stressful situations much more calmly now. Learning how the brain works has helped me to guide myself to better outcomes.

The course (especially the 2nd time through) has really helped me to take responsibility for my "stuff". I have learned worry less about other people's behavior.

The course has helped me to look at things from an outside perspective. The meditation practices have helped ease my stress. I am going to miss this class.

Through this class I realized that I was the common denominator for all the drama in my life. It is just amazing how much smoother my life is now, now that I get along better with my friends, co-workers and family. This program really helps you reprogram who you are. It gave me skills for a better life ….. all you need to do is follow the steps.

The material is very well put together. Learning the concepts in the safe environment of the class has helped me feel more confident. I have applied what I have learned in my outside world and I can see the results. I have several friends who have noticed changes in me and have approached me seeking more information about the course.

The program helped me realize that though we might be from different backgrounds or cultures, we as human beings deal with the same core issues. It is course that everyone should take.

I really enjoyed the check-in process of the class. By talking with others with similar issues/situations, it helped create more of an open mind for me. I am now better able to think about struggles I am having and to articulate them on much higher level.

I enjoyed the joint process of introspective processing with my wife. We are now able to see the insecurities that we both share. It has changed how communicate to each other. We both refer back to the course notebook and review the material together. I also very much enjoyed the mindfulness exercises in class.

I love Life Skills! I love learning and stretching beyond my comfort zone. I was much more broken and hurting in the beginning of the class, yet as each week went on, I have processed a lot and have grown. I now feel stronger and more confident. I feel that my husband and I can refer back to the material and engage in a meaningful conversation when we are feeling fearful about an issue in our relationship.

I learned to step back and think about what was going on instead of reacting right away. I listen better to my wife now and I understand better what her needs are. I can now see the patterns in our disagreements and how to better break the cycle and "stop the dance". It has been great to learn how to establish healthy patterns with my wife.

I really got a lot out of the sessions on mindfulness, meditation and dirty fighting. It was also wonderful to hear childhood stories from my spouse which helped me greatly to understand why he is the way he is. It brought us a lot closer. I am also much more comfortable with myself. I wish the class were longer.

I was amazed (and comforted) to learn that my husband and I share the same fear in our relationship – that the other might leave. We both now think more before we say something. I am much more empathetic rather than being the person who gets annoyed and frustrated in difficult situations.
