The clients quoted on this page are real clients, in their own words. These are individual experiences: your results depend on your situation and the work you do, and we can’t promise what your partner will decide. The Grounded Leader Program isn’t therapy or medical care. If there’s physical violence in your relationship, from either side, please contact local professional help first. If you’re thinking about hurting yourself, call or text 988 in the US, or your local emergency number.
