"My partner and I are communicating openly and honestly for the first time in our marriage.  I didn’t understand how I could sit next to someone on the couch every night and feel completely alone at the same time.  I realized I was feeling lonely because the connection we were having wasn’t actually a connection.  We learned that we often fight because it kept us connected and that was better than no connection - somehow fighting met a need.  Now we are choosing to spend positive time together without distractions instead and the fighting has dropped off.  We had never thought about how fighting actually kept us connected to each other but we prefer this new connection so much more.” -M.W.

“I didnt realize how afraid of my emotions I was until I started working with Alison.  My emotions owned me and I felt burdened by them.  With Alison's help, I have been able to understand what my emotions are communicating and how to respond in ways that take care of me verses just reacting to my emotions, which gets me in trouble.  It is truly liberating to feel like my emotions are not running my life!”  -R.S.

“My husband and I were feeling like roommates and not like romantic partners when we started working with Alison.  She was so insightful, thoughtfu,l and nonjudmental- we knew were in very capable hands.  We learned how important it is for us to have things to look forward to together that add energy and vitality to our relationship.  We are thinking about everything between us differently and she has given us so much hope and perspective that we can enjoy a great relationship that feels satisfying when we put in the time and effort that all relationships require.”  -A.T.

“Alison has taught me so many tools and about how my brain works.  I have a better understanding of myself than I ever have before and that is true power.  I am finally starting to feel like I can truly get my needs met because I finally understand what they are.”  -C.M.
