Relationship-Building Retreats

Deb has been an invaluable resource along my path towards greater health in all of my relationships. Her steady presence, deep listening and clear eyed ability to recognize my relational patterns helped me to see and change things I had been unconsciously doing for years. Her guidance through the PIVOT modules was incredibly thorough, and I feel that the ways she taught me to use my Healthy Adult Alignment worksheet have forever changed for the better how I relate to others. I found Deb’s guidance to be unfailingly compassionate and warm, yet also strong and clear. Thank you Deb!

The only regret I have about joining the Pivot Process is that I didn’t do it A LOT sooner! I participated in “talk therapy” for years however, I was repeating the same cycles of emotions and behaviors that ultimately were ruining my relationships. Pivot has allowed me to find not only identify the root causes for my behaviors but healthier solutions. I’m so thankful to have been introduced to my Pivot coach, London, who has guided me through significant changes that have resulted in not only feeling the happiest I have been in my life, but also improving my relationships with others close to me.

I think one of the easiest ways for me to say what Pivot means to me is to explain what life was like without Pivot. Too much of the same old fights and not understanding each other as a couple (Read: resentments, bitterness, hurt, lack of connection, sense of being incomplete) Feeling hopeless in my primary relationships. Feeling misunderstood and unseen by those around me. Lack of my own self-understanding as to why I feel the way I do sometimes and what to do about it to help change it. Pivot resolved (read: changed for the good) ALL of that. Now my partner and I have a much deeper connection, high trust and commitment, more openness and shared dreams. Before we lived as “Semi’s” (Without even knowing it) and now we have steadily experienced being a “Good” for each other and with a little wine, etc. we have even experienced the rare and magical event of truly being one another’s “Inner.” Less fights, more laughs. Less fear, more joy. As for parenting I have far less need to over-step in my kids’ lives and instead just show up and enjoy their presence in my life. If they need me to put on my Wise Elder hat and help them through something, I am happy to do that but am just about as happy not to do that, too. This is a HUGE change for me. I used to worry incessantly about them and over-involve myself in their worlds.
