I thought that love could never exist for me.

After 5 years of sobriety I had reached a place in my life where I was still unhappy, angry and I thought that love could never exist for me. A friend mine in AA, who once had the same issues, was honest enough to tell me she had been sexually abused as a child. She told me she had found an amazing therapist that had groups designed for overcoming trauma. She gave me your number and I called you the next day. It was the best decision I ever made.

Arlene, you, taught me how to re-parent myself and, ultimately, to love myself. I had many other experiences with therapy but they never really reached the core of my issues and they all felt like never ending cycles. The best thing about your therapy is that it’s deigned to heal so there is an end and you graduate and learn how to be happy and whole in your life. Thank you for being an angel who has dedicated her life to helping and healing people, like me, who were robbed of their childhoods.

Love,

Greg S.
