Customer Testimonial – Encouragement

“So many things are possible just as long as you don’t know they’re impossible.”

— Norton Juster

I started therapy services with Linda Turner while I was being confronted by my adult daughter in college over parental alienation that occurred in her childhood following a divorce. I was on the receiving end of it, and my daughter only had her father’s side of the story. 

It was painful—my daughter said I could never make up for the lost time with her, and every time I reached out or did something for her, she reminded me that it would never change the past or be enough to heal anything.

I was in such pain and devastation that I couldn’t deal with it on my own and needed a specialist in the area of parental alienation. I found Linda online—not my usual way of obtaining therapy. It was nerve wracking sending in that first payment—like, “Am I going to hear from this person! “ 

Not only did she get back to me, but her sessions have really helped me go on living through the pain and has grown into sessions where I’m also focusing on my own development and goals. 

My relationship with my daughter has definitely improved (I realize, I’m lucky—everyone’s journey is different and takes time), but I couldn’t have gone through it without her services. It’s the worst feeling in the world to lose a child emotionally. My prayers are with you.  

I’m growing stronger as an individual, and with her services, I’m actually building my own life and looking forward to—dare I say it—maybe even a relationship that I have been desiring for a while but gave up on finding. 

I wish you the best of luck, and I have written this, so you have the courage to move forward. 

Best Wishes for Your Personal Journey, 

Gabrielle  – Texas

EMDR Therapy – Book Now

Trauma (PTSD and C-PTSD)) should not be a life sentence. Therapies like EMDR is a brain-body based therapy, which can be used to tap into the part of the brain called the limbic system which goes beyond talking therapy. I use an EMDR method called Butterfly Tapping  on my clients, which uses a bi lateral stimulation of crossing the arms and tapping each side. If you would like to know more about EMDR or book a consultation, please go to my page for payment details.

What are the two types of integrity tests?

There are two types of integrity tests:

  • Overt integrity test, which directly asks about dangerous or counterproductive behaviors.
  • Covert integrity test, which uses a personality-type test to draw conclusions about likely integrity issues.

Integrity Tests

The procedures known as “integrity tests” or (more confrontationally) as “honesty tests”[12] aim to identify prospective employees who may hide perceived negative or derogatory aspects of their past, such as a criminal conviction, psychiatric treatment[according to whom?] or drug abuse. Identifying unsuitable candidates can save the employer from problems that might otherwise arise during their term of employment. Integrity tests make certain assumptions, specifically:[13]

  • that persons who have “low integrity” report more dishonest behaviour
  • that persons who have “low integrity” try to find reasons to justify such behaviour
  • that persons who have “low integrity” think others more likely to commit crimes—like theft, for example. (Since people seldom sincerely declare to prospective employers their past deviance, the “integrity” testers adopted an indirect approach: letting the work-candidates talk about what they think of the deviance of other people, considered in general, as a written answer demanded by the questions of the “integrity test”.)[14]
  • that persons who have “low integrity” exhibit impulsive behaviour
  • that persons who have “low integrity” tend to think that society should severely punish deviant behaviour (Specifically, “integrity tests” assume that people who have a history of deviance report within such tests that they support harsher measures applied to the deviance exhibited by other people.)

The claim that such tests can detect “fake” answers plays a crucial role in detecting people who have low integrity. Naive respondents really believe this pretense and behave accordingly, reporting some of their past deviance and their thoughts about the deviance of others, fearing that if they do not answer truthfully their untrue answers will reveal their “low integrity”. These respondents believe that the more candid they are in their answers, the higher their “integrity score” will be.[14][clarification needed]

Win or Lose?

… that if you think you have nothing to lose, you win. 

If you think you have something to win, you lose.


It all drives to motivation. 

Why are you doing what you are doing right now? 

To avoid loss? 

To achieve gain?

Wrong reason both times. Life is not about win-and-lose.

Life is about being or not being, expressing or not expressing, who you are. 

Don’t do things for personal benefit. And don’t do things to avoid personal damage. 

Do things to feel personal authenticity. Then your life will make sense, no matter what is going on around you. 

Is it clear why you have been told this today, yes?
