About Donna M Torbico

ACoAs know a lot, but often feel confused.  We have a ”committee of voices” with  conflicting points of view, often making it hard to function. Who should we listen to:  the Inner Child, the Harsh Parent, the Healthy Adult,  our religion, our intuition ???  CLARITY is a hallmark of mental health.   The clearer our thinking, based on sound info, the more empowered & therefore SAFER we feel in the world.  Keep repeating: “I KNOW WHAT I KNOW” !!

Using T.E.A. (thoughts, emotions, actions) ACoAs can access Toxic family Beliefs which keep them stuck in self-defeating patterns. Learning to connect with their Wounded & Healthy Inner Child parts, and countering the Bad Parent voice, are the keys to releasing old memories & accumulated pain, & find the freedom to be their True Self.

I’ve appeared on radio, television & at New Life Expo, created & presented ACoA / Al-Anon intensive weekend workshops & led an ACoA therapy group for 6 years.   I was a presenter at the NY Open Center for 9 yrs, teaching my 12-week interactive lecture course – “KNOWLEDGE Is POWER: What makes an ACoA”.  

I have Skyped with clients in the US & Canada, & as far away as Dubai, Chile, Taiwan, England, Hawaii.... My "Heal & Grow for ACoAs' BLOG, with over 500 posts since 2010, is read all over the world: http://acoarecovery.wordpress.com

We are damaged, not defective. Damage can be healed. I look forward to working with any adult seriously interested in deeply searching for their personal truth & the freedom to be who they were born to be.

I offer a free 30 min. intro session to see if we're compatible. Sessions can be in person, phone or Skype. (No insurance)
