This is the third time I have written a review. It appears that every time there’s a negative review, heart-to-heart finds a way to remove it off of Google. It should be obvious that a company that provides this kind of service only has this few of reviews, after providing counseling services for nearly two decades.

After going through my experience and reading negative reviews of many others, there appears to be a disconnect between the techniqes used and what a couple really needs.

First of all. I want to point out the fact that some people are truly maladaptive and there are others who just have really significant marital issues which caused them to act out. Unfortunately, Doug tends to lump everybody into the group of maladaptive and label them as addicts. Doug also has coined the term called intimacy anorexia. It is not a diagnosis supported in the DSM psychiatric literature. In fact, most psychiatric clinicians I know scoff at the diagnosis and see it as a moneymaking ploy for Doug to make a living off of thorough all of his books and counseling. I was diagnosed as an intimacy anorexic and my current therapist commented that I’m one of the most emotional people he’s ever met. It stands to reason if you’re in a relationship where your partner doesn’t love and respect you, then you will put up an emotional wall between yourself and your partner. All I needed was to be in a situation where I felt safe and trusted.

And that is the heart of the matter. What should be happening in therapy is working towards reestablishing intimacy, trust, and respect. And this is far from what happened in my experience with Doug. What happened to us was a bunch of books and awkward, meaningless exercises that never seemed to do anything in reestablishing intimacy. It also seemed to be one person playing the role of the villain and the other person playing the role of the victim; and allowing the victimization to occur over and over again for years. It took me 13 years of polygraphs to realize that the trust and respect was never going to be restored.

I want to try and be constructive here as much as possible. I do believe that there are some couples Doug’s techniques may work for. That would be a couple that is highly faith based and truly believes in forgiveness and redemption.

It’s a shame that healing never occurred and my marriage ultimately fell apart. The positive thing that came out of it was me doing many years of personal therapy and discovering self actualization and coming to the realization that nobody is the villain and nobody is the victim. We each have our roles and responsibilities for the actions that we take. I am now happy to report after going through this process of self actualization that I am now in a wonderful relationship with somebody who is also going through the same process and we live in a very loving and intimate life full of respect and trust.

Danke Herr Nickel!
Endlich mal jemand, der die Dinge klar und deutlich anspricht.
Etwas, was wir schon deutlich früher gebraucht hätten.
Das machen leider die wenigsten Therapeuten.
