What Others are saying about the book:
“Gary, Thanks so much for sharing your book. I have really enjoyed it. This book has changed the way I view every interaction and relationship in my life. The piece that has had the most impact was the chapter on Separation. As I read about containment fields and social contracts a light went on in my head. For years I have been trying to figure out how to get out of the people pleasing, care taking for everyone but myself, wanting to fix every problem, need for acknowledgment and reassurance from others. The list goes on and on. These things have caused endless stress, frustration, anger and unhappiness. And here in one chapter the reason and solution were laid out in front of me so clearly. It was explained in such a simple, clear cut, no nonsense way without all the confusing complexities. After reading the chapter I could practically see lines being drawn. This goes in my containment field, this goes out, this is mine, this is not. I could see how much I had taken on and how much time and energy I had given away on things that did not belong to me. ... And even then I can say NO! KATE BURCHEL, CARBONDALE, COLORADO
“I am very excited that all this information is now in book form. I have gone through the pilot program mentioned in the book and at age 57 I am creating a new me, one filled with youthful enthusiasm about my life. Every day I get up knowing that I may be going to the same job and doing the same things, but I am able to grow and change with every interaction now. This book gives such a clear understanding about what is really going on that it has changed every interaction and relationship I have with others and with myself, too.
For example, now I can work within all the rules and requirements of my nursing job while maintaining my own standards. I am able to see where I get engaged in unproductive entanglements and choose differently. I have read it several times and continue to get new insights as well as reminders and support to continue to make positive changes.” JOYCE WRIGHT, GLENWOOD SPRINGS, COLORADO
“Working with this model has transformed my life and my relationships in a relatively short period of time. Years of therapy don’t hold a candle to this model. Life as a true grown-up is full of freedom and joy, and well worth the effort of “growing up;” no matter at what age.” ELIZABETH HUNTER, DENVER, COLORADO
“You have a lot of very important points and say them well, so I would love to see you get into the public with your message.” Elizabeth Haspel-Portner, Ph.D.
