Testimonials & Stories About Change
From Addiction to Authenticity
George first presented for counseling and reported a struggle with an addiction to porn and other compulsive sexual behaviors. After the appropriate assessments and case conceptualization, Dr Christian implemented a research-driven treatment. George was motivated to change and made a commitment to the treatment protocol: individual and group therapy. He experienced a breakthrough past his denial and surrendered control of his future to his Higher Power. He faithfully used the tools and resources given to him in counseling. He experienced support and accountability from others who shared his struggles.
Today, George is a different man. He reports freedom from the obstacles that held him back and kept him from being the person he was created to be. He has resolved the unprocessed trauma in his past and, for the first time, reports living fully rather than merely surviving. George is truly a man of integrity and authenticity. He understands the meaning of true intimacy with his partner. He can state his feelings and communicate his needs. He is recovering his heart. Those who know and love him most are proud of the long-term changes he has made in his life. George’s story can be your story. Reach out to Michael Christian today.
From Divorce Papers to a Renewed Marriage
Robert and Joan called and said, “We have already contacted the divorce attorneys. However, after talking, we think we would like to schedule some counseling and consider your Phoenix Project.” They made the initial appointment and told their story. The Phoenix Project is for couples who have already filed for divorce, been divorced, or are seriously thinking about throwing in the towel on their relationship. Counseling is hard work; it is time-consuming; and it costs money. However, couples’ therapy is cheaper than a divorce. Robert and Joan scheduled an Intensive with Michael Christian so he could analyze their situation quickly. Following their Intensive, they met with Dr. Christian weekly and began to address the problem issues they had identified.
After several weeks of counseling, they decided to cancel the divorce, work on their relationship, and try to make the changes that would produce mutual gratification in their marriage. Reflecting on their experience working with Michael Christian, Robert and Joan have said, “It has been a miracle. Dr. Christian was the right person for us to work with. His knowledge and experience provided a safe and nonbiased process where we could talk together and decide the future. We are glad we found Dr. Christian. We are thrilled with our marriage today. We look forward to spending the rest of our days together.”
If you are in a relationship that has already terminated or you are thinking about calling it quits, perhaps you read Robert and Joan’s story and think that something similar could happen for you. Give Dr. Christian a call today and ask about what counseling might look like for you.
The Executive Who Went from Disliked to Dynamic
Thomas, an executive with a national organization, was informed that he would be terminated in 90 days unless he made some drastic changes immediately. The HR Director of his organization contacted Dr. Michael Christian and asked if he would be available to work with Thomas and address his deficiencies in an attempt to salvage him as an executive within their company.
Thomas met with Dr. Christian for an initial session to tell his story and get to know each other. Thomas was hesitant initially because he was always the one in charge; the one who made the decisions; the one who determined his future. Now, Thomas discovered that his best thinking got him where he found himself within his company. It was not easy from the beginning of the working relationship. Thomas had a hard time surrendering and acknowledging his need for help. However, with Dr. Christian’s non-judgmental approach and his use of unconditional acceptance, Thomas ultimately began to soften and turn in a much healthier direction.
Before long, Thomas was able to make a “Problems List.” He became open to feedback. He started demonstrating some motivation for internal growth and positive long-term change. Thomas is still working with Dr. Christian. The company is appreciative of their professional relationship with Dr. Christian and the work he has done with Thomas. The company has now lifted the 90-day probation period. Thomas is back to a normal, healthy status with his employer and is now free from the things that placed his job in jeopardy. If there is someone in your corporate organization who is worth saving, and you think this person will benefit from working with Dr. Christian, we encourage you to reach out to Dr. Christian via a phone call or email.
