... physical and emotional needs." It was most helpful to know that there is an understandable explanation, that he is not alone and that there is hope of recovery from these "aberrant" behaviors. After numerous false and partial disclosures over the last three years, I felt like I was losing my mind trying to process all of the inconsistent information that I would oftentimes discover, almost immediately following what was supposed to have been "The Final Disclosure." I was fearful that I would somehow not ask the right questions or have regrets from questions I did not address during the intensive and leave the intensive with unanswered questions. Dr. Magness is highly skilled in this process. He provides assistance in this process that allows me to believe with 100% certainty that the pain of the leakage of all previous information has come to a halt. I feel that we are starting at a good place by finally coming clean with a full disclosure. I no longer feel that every day is a land mine that is just waiting on me to step on followed by renewed pain as I so often experienced with each new discovery.  The entire intensive is helpful. I have nothing to offer in the way of improving the process.  What was it like? Intensive, but freeing. I am a "fixer" and had run out of ways to try to "fix" the issues we had. We had no tools to move forward in a better or more hopeful way. I feel fortunate to have been able to experience the intensive and feel sad for others who are suffering from this addiction that do not have the resources that we have had available to us. I learned a great deal about myself and my issues that I had never addressed but need and want to. My issues never seemed significant in the wake of [my husband’s] issues, but instead of focusing on [my husband’s] actions, which I now understand I cannot control, I feel empowered to focus on myself and the things I can control. I now realize that I too need to get to a healthy place in order to have a healthy marriage. I know with certainty that this is the first time that [my husband] has come to terms with how his actions impact not only those he loves, but most importantly (or perhaps most effectively) with how his actions can impact his life as well. Dr. Magness was instrumental in helping [my husband] think about where the actions that he previously "just didn't think about" would land him in the future. We are a work in progress, but we are working hard. With the Intensive behind us, we now have the tools to move forward in a positive way. Thank you for valuing family relationships enough that your life work is to help rebuild and repair them even when everyone else has given up hope!"
