I feel more empowered and optimistic about my relationship future

Betty Russell saw me through the end of a bad marriage and the beginning of a new and very promising relationship. When I was trying to salvage my marriage, Betty supported me and offered me countless practical ways to communicate and understand my own value and that of my husband. Then, when it was clear that the relationship had to end, Betty helped me through that time with dignity and self-esteem intact.

Since that time, I have met someone new. I find that some of the old habits are hard to break, and that innocent actions or comments on the part of my new partner act as triggers for me, making it very hard to process them without taking things personally or reacting out of fear. Betty’s wisdom, experience, and perspective have had a huge impact on my ability to readjust my perceptions of and reactions to this new relationship rather than allowing them to be based on habits and triggers from a previous and unhappy one.

I especially love that Betty gives me both the reason behind her suggestions and also incredibly practical advice about next steps. I appreciate having her explain the psychology/philosophy behind why things might be happening, and why certain new approaches, or steps to be taken, will work. Then I also get the actual steps to take—how do I adjust my thinking, what might I say to myself or my partner to get through a difficult moment or challenge, when is it a good idea to push for more clarity and when is it best to just go with the flow and/or take a time out?

As my association with Betty has spanned two relationships now (well, the end of one and now this brand new one), I can see her advice and wisdom affecting me in many ways. I feel more empowered and optimistic about my relationship future. I have someone to call upon who will guide me through mine fields that might threaten the relationship… but she and I won’t let them! I understand and am using the processes and mindsets that she has helped me develop so that my past does not sabotage my future.

I am grateful every day to Betty for her hard work and great insights. She is a worthy ally to have in my corner—no question about that! – Vanessa P.

What Clients Are Saying

Betty walked the path with me in such a way that I found someone amazing!

In a world saturated with online dating and connections that just seem ingenious, I had given up hope. I craved human connection that didn’t involve a screen and knew that I had a lot of love to give.

Finding that person was an uphill battle, but Betty made me feel as though I was not alone. She helped me believe in myself and walked the path with me in such a way that I found someone amazing… and learned more about myself in the process. In my eyes, that’s a double win! – Bruce W, Nashville TN

Betty helped me to regain my authenticity and confidence

I was down-right desperate to find love. I was looking in all the wrong places and found my emotions to be all over the place every time I went on a date. I felt disappointed and hopeless.

Betty helped me to regain my authenticity and confidence. She didn’t just help me to find a partner, but also helped me to navigate my emotions, and realize that it takes two to tango. I had to be the best version of myself to meet someone, and Betty did that for me. – Amanda S, New Orleans LA
