(Ep. 61) How These Couples and Individuals Found Healing with The Compassion Method™

What if hearing real people tell you exactly how healing changed their lives is the encouragement you needed to believe it could change yours?In this very special episode of Triggered & True, Laura Duncan and co-host Brian Freise hand the microphone to the people who've lived it: brave graduates and students of the Compassion Method who share honest testimony from their own journeys. Each of them once had a "great awakening" moment — and each shares how discovering the method helped them see and finally tend the pain underneath. It's a moving, hope-filled episode that shows what this work actually looks like in real lives, actual marriages, and real callings.First, Libby shares how Laura's 10 Gifts and the brain science behind them opened her eyes as a wife and mom of three — and awakened her own passion to help others. Then married couple Gary and Kristie Van Kley open up with striking honesty about over two decades of a hard marriage, and how making their own healing the priority — rather than trying to fix each other — brought change individually and together. Next, Kristy, a recently retired teacher turned coach, describes discovering the method through a practitioner and finding, for the first time, permission to feel her own anger — and how she now approaches even dating from a true-self place. Finally, Jeff and Marissa Prentice share Marissa's harrowing story of a sudden panic attack and losing her faith while in ministry school. How Laura's "you're not broken, you're just covered up" was like a lifeline. And how the two of them studied the method themselves and built a lifelong calling around it.In this episode: 🔹 Libby: How the 10 Gifts and brain science became her great awakening as a wife and mom 🔹 Gary & Kristie Van Kley: healing a 20-plus-year hard marriage by each tending their own heart first 🔹 Kristy: a retired teacher finding permission to feel her anger — and dating from her true self 🔹 Jeff & Marissa Prentice: a panic attack, a lost-and-rebuilt faith, and a calling born from healing 🔹 A recurring thread: "you're not broken, you're just covered up" — and why feeling pain can be a privilegeConnect with our guests: 🔹 Libby Mathews — www.JoywithLibby.com 🔹 Kristy Allen — www.dramaworkswellness.com 🔹 Jeff & Marissa Prentice — www.prenticeconsulting.co 🔹 Kristie Van Kley — [email protected] 🔹 Gary Van Kley — [email protected]📩 Get your free Weekly Dose of Compassion — two short notes in your inbox every week.
