7/17/17 ~ I have not added anyone to this page for at least 6 years, and have no intention at this time of updating it.

Referral Page - to Local Therapists / Counselors / Healers

“It is important to get help. We all need some help at times in seeing ourselves more clearly. Some counselors and therapists that haven’t necessarily done the emotional healing may still be very helpful to you early in your process - or at specific points in your healing. The reality is that inner child healing and codependency recovery are still pretty new - and many very well meaning professionals out there do not know a lot about this work. My approach to the work is unique and pioneering, and no one out there is doing exactly what I do and describe. You will find very few counselors and therapist who define codependence in as large a context as I do; many who do not see it as a Spiritual disease; many who have not done their own emotional work. I do not know of anyone who combines developing internal boundaries with doing the grief work as part of building an ongoing relationship with different ages of the child within - the framework that I developed for integrating knowledge of healthy behavior and Spiritual Truth into one’s emotional relationship with life. That is the most powerfully life changing and transformational aspect of my approach to the work. Your chances of finding someone who does exactly that kind of work are almost nil. But you can find good people out there doing important work. You can find people: who can lovingly facilitate grief work; who can be very helpful in seeing your codependence when you are blind to it in certain areas; who are very good at teaching Loving Spiritual concepts; who can help you understand specific dynamics around such issues as verbal abuse or sex addiction etc. It is possible to find counselors and therapist who can be very helpful in your process.” - Choosing a Therapist or Counselor with Discernment

In the right hand column below is the introduction I wrote for this page in January of 2000. I am doing some redesign work for my August 2001 Update, and decided to add a few words. As I say in the quote just above, no one out there is doing exactly the work I do, because there are not yet any therapists or counselors who have studied my method so that they can help others to learn it. My approach to the work is unique, powerful, and very effective - and has been accurately described as “taking inner child healing to a new level.” One of the reasons that Co-Dependents Anonymous attendance declined during the mid to late nineties is because people did not know how to take the healing to the next level. (I include an excerpt from the Joy2MeU Journal in which I talk about this decline on the Finding Co-Dependents Anonymous meetings page.) The inner child healing paradigm that I have developed is that next level of recovery from codependency that so many people have been seeking. Hopefully, one of these days I will be able to offer training to other healers so that they can learn it for themselves - and be able to teach it to others.

In the meantime, the people listed below, either contacted me directly or were referred by someone who had visited the web site - the descriptions of what they do were supplied by the counselors themselves or the people who sent in the information. My advice below - which I repeat on my page about choosing a therapist or counselor - is to let your Spirit guide you, and remember that you are the employer. We all need help along the way. Your Higher Power will provide you with the help you need. Perhaps it will be someone you found on this page. ~ Robert 8-13-01
