In reply to Tanya. Dear Tanya, I recommend you get on the path to paying far more attention to yourself and your emotions, which is what CEN recovery is all about.

Hello Dr. Webb,
Thank you for bringing attention to CEN, the “white space” and to the dissociation they seem to cause. I have been reading about CBT, and the work of Byron Katie and others from the “coaching” world who try to help clients see other perspectives or to change their attitude, to have vision for their future and aim for the feelings they would like to create in their lives. I am confused. I don’t know how much of my problems are due to my own attitude, my inability to see where others are coming from or to just get along, versus putting myself in proximity with people who are draining me dry. Do you have any advice?

In reply to Linda Youngs. Dear Linda, if you are subscribed to my newsletter you will receive lots of free info about how to recover. I have a list of CEN-trained therapists and also an online program that walks members through the 5 steps out of CEN called Fuel Up For Life.

Thank you for your work with CEN. It has answered so many questions I’ve had about my life. I am surprised to find knowing the truth is just the beginning. I feel like I have been stuck in this “CEN hole” for so long, I’m not sure I can get out !

In reply to Tracye. Oh, I'm sorry. Then it becomes a choice for you about how important this is for you. Not all therapists will read it, unfortunately, but most will. There are also many therapists who have taken my trainings.

I ordered a copy of your book for my therapist but she hasn’t read it. I don’t think she will.

In reply to Eric. Yet they are very, very different in quality and intensity.

Jonice I have CEN. I’m 65 yr old this week. I’ve struggled to understand the crippling self-doubt and desire to be invisible as a child, which is opposite a well loved and supported child. I’ve had many therapists
But the biggest help has been adult children of alcoholics and Al-Anon, even though there was no alcohol in my family of origin

Dr Janice, the new movie Overcomer, last night addresses it, without naming CEN. The lead actress, a 15 yr old has CEN having lost her mom and dad to drugs and is raised by her bitter grandmother. She feels she has no worth. It’s a beautiful story of a community that help her face her issues helping her develop her talent for running. Then by facing her family of origin with her, finding her dad is alive now and sick but changed by having worked the steps to have a spiritual experience. a story of healing for many and realizing by faith first that someone would help her and coming to believe then a higher power had given her a talent and purpose.
You might connect with Priscilla Shirer the woman who plays the principle in the school. She is a well known bible teacher. She might be willing to be an advocate for CEN cause. Also the Kendrick brothers who produce this film.
