I now understand how I harmed my wife…

Dr. Minwalla presents this material in a very empathetic and understanding manner. He doesn’t give a pass to the abuser, but he makes you very aware that he understands your pain, remorse, and what you’re going through as you hear the material. He lets you know that he is there to help you if needed. This course will help make me a better person. I now understand how I have harmed my wife as I never have before. Although she told me many times about how I was hurting her, my understanding was shallow and never real until this course.

Led with compassion and understanding…

Participating in Dr. Minwalla's workshop was the beginning of a tremendous shift in my understanding of abuse and trauma, and my behavior towards my partner and myself. While providing a new understanding that was often painful and difficult, Dr. Minwalla always led with compassion and understanding. He illuminated the harmful consequences of my deception and abuse, and never lost sight of my potential to change my behaviors and live with integrity. I remain grateful two years after taking this workshop, which was pivotal in becoming a better man and a better partner to my wife.

…an opportunity I’m glad I took.

I learned so much from taking your course and it was an opportunity I’m glad I took. I really appreciated how in depth you went with all of the concepts and made sure to break them down into ways that were easily understood. Because of that, I’ve been able to recount the information so much better than anything I’ve learned so far on my journey. It also meant so much to my wife to be seen and acknowledged as someone who has endured abuse through the years of my actions. It opened my eyes to the undeniable truth of the many different ways I have hurt her. I want you to know how much I appreciated how understanding and non judgmental your approach was through the course.

Truths instilled in his unique model…

I was chronically deceptive for more than 30 years until working with Dr. Minwalla. His wisdom and the truths instilled in his unique model allowed me to know myself, understand the negative impacts of my behaviors, and change for the better. Dr. Minwalla cares deeply about everyone who participates in his workshops, as well as the people we have harmed. He presents complex and challenging concepts in a straightforward and non-judgmental way. Dr. Minwalla creates a safe and engaging space that allows even those in crisis to begin the process of self-knowledge and healing.

Makes it so clear how I have traumatized my wife…

Thank you for the weekend. It was extremely powerful and educational. Your program and your model address the gaps in the other education and 12-step programs that I attend. It makes it so clear how I have traumatized my wife, and why my sobriety simply is not enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

My wife and I are still together…

I have attended Dr Minwalla's course twice. The first time gave me a GREAT foundation to help understand the information and the impact my behaviour had on my wife. It was instrumental in my wife and I's healing process. The second time really solidified the information and was a great reminder for me. I picked up more granular details the second time around which deepened my understanding of my behaviour and impact. Happy to say my wife and I are still together and moving in a positive direction and this course was a MAJOR factor.
