Comments for George Collins, M.A. (Continued from 1st Page)
George -- I struggled with sex addiction from the time of my youth, without even
realizing what it was. My addiction was primarily to phone sex and swinging
- things that always sounded like fun when I started, but that rarely left
me feeling like I had fun after I was done. I thought that after I got
married, the problem would be over - but instead it continued, adding guilt
and shame to the bad feelings I already had. After my first extramarital
encounter, which was more traumatic and pathetic than it was sexy or
exciting, I sought help. The program that my counselor put me on just
wasn't helping me, though. I still kept going back to phone sex, Internet
chat and occasional extramarital encounters.
After my most recent extramarital encounter, I knew I just couldn't go on
like I had been. I was heading down a path that was going to eventually
cause me to lose my family and my job just as surely as if I were shooting
heroin. I wouldn't get to the same place as a junkie, or as quickly, but
the road's not far away from that. I decided I had to find some help that
actually would be effective. I didn't want endless talk therapy, or
psychological drugs, or group therapy, or a 12-step program - primarily
because I didn't believe I had a disease. I believed that I simply made bad
choices and that I needed some tools to help me make better choices.
When I found George's web site, his approach to treatment appealed to me a
lot. I emailed him my phone number. When he called me back, and explained
how the process worked, I knew he was the right counselor for me. Over the
course of several months, he helped me understand not only that my mental
programming was several revisions too old, as it were, but how it got to be
that way, and how to change it for the better. Although we explored
childhood issues and how I got to be the way I am, George didn't linger on
that, and instead actively worked with me to change how I think and how I
respond to addictive stimulus in the here and now.
I am happier and more at peace that I have been for a long time, and I have
George's wise and skillful counseling to thank for it. To anyone who is
struggling with sex addiction, I cannot recommend his services highly
enough. Thanks, George!

George, I'm clearly living life on a different frequency these
days........there just isn't any doubt about this now.
My life is so much different then what it was two
years ago before I came in contact with you.
I can't even explain properly what it is that you've
done exactly, it just is. George I'm forever
grateful, the ones who love me are also forever
grateful. You have touched me but also them.
Tomorrow is one of the most exciting days of my life.
I go before a board of distinguished and highly
established men to display my worth to the cause of
this new job. I feel supreme confidence because the
doors of this mind have been blown apart and I operate
from the depth of my heart now. Thanks to you.
I'm so happy to be with you in this life.

George, It's a beautiful day...the end of suffering...the quieting
of the mind is beautiful...I have always known I had a higher calling but I
thought it was DOING. I never imagined it would be BEING!" — Allen
George, You are the man...I can't say enough to express my gratitude and
admiration for you. If every young boy had a father like you to "teach" him
the way to love and open their hearts....could you imagine what a world we
would have? — Marcus
Its hard to believe but its been two years, this month, since I flew out
there and saw you guys. And its been two years since I have had a
prostitute. Its been a year and 4 months since I have had sex with someone
other then my wife. I just want to thank you for all the help you guys have
been these last two years It is great to be free and to be able to think
right. I still got a lot of work to do my addict is still there just have a
lot quieter voice. I look forward when I can start having sessions again
which should be February when I hope to return to work. If so I will kick it
off by coming there at that time or soon afterwards. WOW! it feels great to
have actually said this is the last time I will do this (act out), and it
actually was the last time. It is a powerful feeling. You do not know how
many times I found myself looking for a massage parlor saying this will be
the last time, but I kept going back. With you guys help I actually was able
to make the last time my last time. I look forward to seeing you guys again
I hope we will all be able to go out and do something when I come out there
again please let James know I wish to see him as well. Best wishes and God
Bless and KEEP THE GREAT WORK UP!
—Alan
Dear George – I so look forward to an annual update with you. Thank you for being the calm, reassuring, nonjudgmental person you are. … Thank you so much, George, for the work that you do and for all the lives you help to restore. —Richard
I will always be forever grateful to you for getting my husband to a place
where he can have a REAL relationship with his wife. Thank you!
We just returned from an incredible few days together and I feel like, for
the first time, he is going to give this stuff up for the real thing...WOW!
What a breakthrough!
I'm sure I don't need to tell you this, but the work you are doing is the
most meaningful thing one can devote their time to...you're saving a family
from destruction. I am deeply appreciative. —Sincerely, Lila
George – What have you done to me? I am loving all that is (with tears of joy). —Mark
George — You've helped me to hear, through the din, my true voice; to
forgive myself and to except the forgiveness of others; to stop and be
quiet. And you've given me the tools to be sure that history remains
history. In our talks I laughed more often than I cried, always felt at
home, always left feeling both grounded and uplifted. And, damn, those
visualizations were intense! Thanks, George. — Matt
George, I continue to feel the magic of having found you, and the
significance of my preparation, through all these years of therapy, to hear
and receive the message that you have for me. I've always loved the native
American tradition of letting the Uncle nurture and train the young men,
removed from the close identification of the father, but with the love and
interest an Uncle can bring. This was sorely missing in my own introduction
to manhood...but as you like to say, "It's not too late." So, you are the
kind and wise Uncle, removed from the personal expectations of the father,
who is guiding me gently into a healthy, self-respecting manhood. Thanks.— Don
I've just finished watching the talk (on your website) at the
(porn industry) event in Sacramento.... It was very powerful, highly
commendable, and courageous of you to accept that invitation and speak your
history and work...straight from the heart! You said things that are
universally true and absolutely necessary. It was civil that you ended your
speech by talking about a meeting of balance. Your honor and integrity
continue to inspire me.— Edward
I just want thank you from the depth of my gut for the work you've done
with me. I am very grateful to have you in my life. I'm looking forward to
an 'adult' 2007. What a concept.— Marv
George -- Happy holidays. Thank you for your enormous contribution to our (my)
world.— Love to you, Rob
Dear George,
I now believe that most of my life was a dress rehearsal for the role I find
myself in now. So many things have happened in the last month and I can't
describe them at all. I'm operating on a frequency that I never thought
possible and I continue to meet amazing people and, somehow, gain their
confidence. I don't know what to say anymore about this.
You told me that something like this was coming and I laughed. I thought you
were just doing your job...part of the counseling. Men who can clear their
mind (of addiction), even slightly, have great potential to help the world.
I'm humbled by what I'm feeling and seeing in myself.
Touch more George. Touch more like me and help them out of the trap of
sexual addiction. Thank you a million times over.
— Jeff
George,
My attempt in my phone message was to tell you that you are such a
wonderful part of my life. I cannot tell you what it meant to me to have you
touch base over the weekend. Kind of like this- standing on sand but
feeling steady- in comes the wave and loosens it under our feet. Your
footing slips and the top layer of sand is pulled back out to sea right from
under you. You can actually feel it move under you.. Your toes dig into
the sand that remains, the stuff that is still there. And you regain your
balance. Thatıs what you have been to me. The sand to dig into when I start
to get unsteady. My support when I need to regain my balance. You know -- if
you keep moving, it doesn't matter that the sand gets pulled away -- you just
move over to the next spot and start again. But if you sit still, stay
still and enjoy where you are at -- take it in -- then you have to learn to live
with the shifting sand. That is what you are teaching me to do. Thank you.
— Jennifer
