Testimonials
“These possibilities have always been there, but the shadows of guilt and shame kept those opportunities from my perception. I had been excluding myself, out of the false belief that I was not worthy. I had been terrified of success because of the fear of the inevitable, "other shoe" dropping to squish my dreams. I still experience that fear, but I also have the knowledge that it's not necessarily based on external truth."
“Being part of The Gatehouse has provided me with the opportunity to resolve many of the issues that I thought were uniquely mine (believing that I am flawed), but are actually symptomatic of the abuse I experienced. I still have many of those issues, but I can now accept myself the way I am. I have freed myself from the thoughts and feelings associated with self-blame or guilt. I have a better perspective of who I am."
