MJ – Recovery from Alcohol Abuse, Grief, Anger & Divorce
“Glynis Sherwood was a big help when my marriage was ending. I was upset and angry all the time, and drinking too much. It hasn’t been easy, but thanks to addiction counselling I stopped abusing alcohol and started dealing with my feelings of grief and loss. What’s even better is my ex wife and I are still talking to each other, and cooperating more in raising our two kids.”
“I met Glynis at a time in my life when I couldn’t find a counsellor who would take my internet porn addiction seriously. Every counsellor I saw said it was normal for a man to be doing this. What they didn’t understand is I felt ashamed, and didn’t want to be that kind of man. Glynis validated my concerns. She helped me realize that my obsession with pornography sprang from being abused as a child. Glynis helped me figure out what I really needed from sex and love, and to not settle for less. She also helped me get connected with Sex Addicts Anonymous, which has been a big support. I feel less lonely and more hopeful about my future since I’ve started to take my life back from addiction.”
"I started counselling with Glynis at a really low point in my life, and even after a short time I am so grateful for the self-acceptance she helped me develop. Glynis encouraged me to go further in my thoughts and dig deeper through my emotions in every session, and I always felt excited by our progress. I began to feel my spirits lift even after the first session, and by the time our counseling ended I felt hopeful and motivated to move forward in my life."
"After working with Glynis, I am much more aware of my thoughts and how they influence how I feel about myself. More importantly, I am now able to step back and not allow the opinions of others to determine my self-worth. I have more confidence in and respect for myself because of Glynis, and I believe that this was the most important outcome of our work together. Thank you Glynis for your compassion, patience, and guidance- you have made an incredible difference in my life!"
