Review of The Betrayed, The Addicted, The Expert - Hard to stomach

Hard to stomach now

“Here are some quotes from the insufferable Feb episode of "Grow with Coby" "Over the years, you talked about how going through recovery had strengthened your marriage. Whether it strengthened your marriage or not, it built you. It personally changed who you are. its not that it's a failed marriage, it's that you found yourself." No, the marriage did fail. Most of us were here to learn about successfully recovering in marriage TOGETHER. That's a serious change of course that your audience got no glimpse of. "If that means I lose my relationship with God for a short term, I'm ok with that." Well actually, no. A main goal of recovery is making decisions in alignment with God. "I had lived so long trying to meet expectations of others that I had no idea it had anything to do with me. I didn't know that I could consider myself in day to day decisions like I do now." I think anyone listening to even 10 minutes of this podcast can see the statement that you didn't consider yourself in decisions is just a complete falsehood. Maybe the problem was the exact opposite? Too much focus on the self is not how most of the audience is striving to live. "I don't owe a thing to anybody." Ok, ditto. Then stop trying to sell us your services. Or go to school, get licensced and certified and help people within those ethical and moral boundaries. I think there's been a lack of transparency about you guys wanting and succeeding in making money off of this. "If I get on that train of what other people are saying, I've stepped out of alignment, because those voices won't serve me in any way. I need to make sure that I can align myself with decisions that represent my truth." Got that audience? Don't criticize or comment in any way that doesn't align with Coby's "truth." Why aren't you standing up for them??!! Subtle manipulation, but there is a tell. When you hear things like "I hope you can feel the earnestness." or "You're going to get authenticity from me” usually, the opposite is happening. People who are being earnest, authentic and living with integrity do not need to tell you that they are doing so. It's sad to see things end like this. I do agree that you all did a lot of good as well, though. Audience: "Trust yourself."”Read full review »
