- 10. Testimonials I am a private person, My Story Group provided a safe, non-judgmental, accepting atmosphere to be my true self. This 8 month journey has been life changing and worth every penny. I would love for all my friends to experience this amazing transformation My name means “ butterfly,” I am coming out of my cocoon and getting ready to fly! Thank you coach Sandy for creating such an amazing experience. Vanessa Sim, Hairstylist. I think breaking the silence of past trauma’s, being heard by compassionate, caring people and then being affirmed and acknowledged put these stories into a more realistic perspective. Much of the negative energy seeped out with the sharing of guilt, shame, failure and fear. I felt a satisfying completeness after my Show and Tell. It was like a I could leave the past behind and be more present in the now and future. I felt like I didn’t need to drag the sack with me any longer. The insights of the threads that carried through my journey are also indicators for my present. When I start repeating an old pattern or old ticker tapes I stop and say, “I don’t want to go there.” or, “That’s a lie.” The group also helped me connect to my authentic self and because of the deep sharing, the persona I put on or the persona someone put on me, was exposed and the real me was revealed. This was an awesome experience of vulnerability, acceptance, love, caring and healing. I think if a person is willing and ready to look inside, they will definitely benefit from this experience.
