Very Perceptive and Understanding. My heart was heavy with remorse over the hurt I had caused to others during my alcoholic years to the point where I was seriously considering suicide. To my surprise, Alison was very understanding and non-judgmental as I told her about some of the terrible things I’ve done in the past. She told me that we all have done things that we are sorry for, and if I was indeed such a horrible person, why would I be sitting in front of her seeking spiritual guidance on making amends, and whether I should kill myself or not. Alison also gave me some spiritual exercises to help my fragmented soul come back together. Alison was more helpful to me than any session with a psychiatrist has ever been. Suicide Prevention Lifeline
