Testimonials & Quotes
BEFORE
“I was caught up. I had lost myself in other people again and was repeating lessons that I thought I’d already learned. There was a lot of shame and denial about it too. ”
AH
“I was completely overwhelmed and desperate for answers. My father had recently died. My son was new to recovery and I was learning about codependency for the first time. I was questioning myself and every decision I’d ever made. I was scared and not sleeping well. There was a lot going on and I was not handling it well.”
JB
“I had about 2 years sober. I was feeling pretty stagnant in my recovery. I wanted a deeper meaning than just not getting high or drunk anymore. I needed to feel like I was actually making progress in my life.”
NK
“I was burned out. I was coping in unhealthy ways and self-medicating. I was dissociating a lot. I’d realized that I hadn’t processed or dealt with anything from childhood or my parents’ deaths. I realized that I had to deal with my trauma.”
MG
“I was overwhelmed, socially isolated, and directionless. I was struggling with trying to balance recovery, work, and school. There was a lot of doubt and uncertainty about my future. I remember thinking to myself, “Why can’t I find the thing that will make me feel better?!” and feeling generally frustrated.”
JS
“I was new in recovery. I had like 18 months clean. I wasn’t really feeling the meetings. I didn’t have great experiences with therapy either. I knew I had to work on myself so that I didn’t go back to getting high and all that, but I hadn’t found something that worked for me yet.”
SB
“There was a mountain of pain inside me and it had started coming out sideways. There was so much insecurity and anxiety and feeling worthless. There was so much grief and childhood stuff I’d never processed.”
KS
“My life was a mess. I’d hit a hard bottom because of drugs and alcohol. I was just starting to get my sh*t together but I wasn’t in touch with myself at all. I didn’t know or understand what my needs were. I didn’t know how to identify what I was feeling in any given moment. I wasn’t able to communicate about my needs or feelings with others. Life was not easy.”
SK
“I was carrying so much sh*t from the past, so much emotional weight. There was so much from my life that I hadn’t dealt with. And then there was the pandemic and all the stress and isolation that came with that on top. I was stuck in my head constantly trying to rationalize away my feelings. My suffering had become insufferable and I wanted to escape my life so badly.”
TH
AFTER
“There’s a lot less judgment now, for myself and for others. I’m better at giving myself a break. I’m better at setting and holding boundaries, and my relationships have improved. Life’s just become easier.”
JM
“Drew has helped me gain confidence in my ability to live life on life’s terms. I’m confident that I can handle whatever life throws at me. I feel like I have a greater awareness of myself and an expanded perspective that’s helpful in so many ways.”
SK
“I’ve never been the same. I’ve developed a spiritual connection and found my purpose in life as a human being. I’m always okay, even if I forget. And I have practices I can do to help me remember.”
SB
“Now I’m quicker to recognize the insanity of the ego-mind and where that goes. I’m also quicker to reach out to community and ask for help. I’ve realized it’s actually a strength. Overall, I just have a lot more awareness and grace for myself. ”
JS
“As a result of working with Drew, I’m much more in touch with myself and my feelings. My ability to live in denial has been severely compromised. I experience way less shame and self-judgment. When I do fall into a shame-spiral, the turnaround is much quicker now. I’m more understanding, aware, and accepting of myself today. I’m not so hard on myself as I was. I also have more faith in others now and I’m willing to let people in more.”
NK
“Nowadays, I feel much lighter. I feel much more comfortable in my own skin. I trust myself more. There’s less fear in my life, and I’m not paralyzed by it anymore when it shows up. I feel more like myself. And I feel confident in myself and my ability to deal with life and whatever shows up.”
TH
“Today I know how to navigate my emotions better. I know how to advocate for myself. I know that I’m not alone and that everybody has stuff. I know that I’m worth the effort I’m putting into working on myself. Today I’m better able to check in on myself and notice when I feel stuck or stagnant, and then do the stuff that I know can help me get back to myself.”
KS
“I’m more in touch with my feelings than I have been in my whole life. My capacity to feel the stuff that’s hard to feel has grown and keeps growing. I’ve learned how to check in with myself and bring awareness and acceptance to whatever is going on for me. I’m better at understanding myself and knowing why I’m making the decisions I’m making, and I feel more confident in my ability to handle whatever life throws at me.”
