Welcome to my pages! A great deal of time and effort goes into bringing you this information. In order to show your appreciation, you are (at minimum) asked to bring your company manners and, if invited to chat by me, or additional information is offered to you, that you not slam the door in my face, and consider what is shared in response to your search!
This is an interactive web site: I have the ability to chat with you (if you desire), to answer your questions, and to offer you more pages that answer your search engine question... sometimes better than a search engine choice delivered you to! They can only give you what you ask for, and while I do my best to write pages, to trigger that result — we don’t always mesh with the search engines; so do allow me to suggest other pages for you...
The information presented on this site is extensive — there are more than 100 pages here; and so far it is available at no cost.
It is not expected that information will get you well, nor should you expect to overcome any of the dysfunctional patterns by yourself, nor with just awareness.
If you want complete wellness and reversal of behavioral patterns, it does take your full participation in and commitment to a complete and comprehensive program of counseling therapy — one such as this, which gives you ALL the TOOLS, guides you in their use and supports you in your full growth and recovery... all the way into the new life you design.

Are You an Enabler?
Do You Know Why?
Do You Know How to Stop?
Do you enable others to proceed/progress in their unproductive patterns of behavior? Perhaps it’s your partner, a co-worker, your child (adult or minor), your parent, friend, or sibling.
Do you understand why you do this, and know how to stop?
You can stop enabling as soon as you’re ready ...and you DEFINITELY can be helped.
You know someone else has an addiction — SO DO YOU!
It is not a hopeless situation; but you do have work to do...
Get all the information here, and read about it — in detail — but do not expect you will get any changeuntil you get into this Program — and do the necessary and URGENTLY important Inner Growth work — which creates the change in you that makes all the difference!
Just reading/learning about it does not create any lasting change for you...
If you want change (in your own behavior and thus your results), you must heal the underlying causes of enabling; which manifest as your low self-esteem — evident, in part, as your inability to say “no”, to stand up for yourself, and to ask for what you want... to be strong (perhaps in the face of abuse?)
You’ve already learned you cannot do it with will power — and — you cannot do it by yourself.
This is the last information you’ll need — but you must act on it — by getting involved.
That IS the next step, and the only one that works.
You say enabling is making you crazy?
How long has enabling been going on with you?
How much lamenting are you doing?
How assertive are you able to be?
Are you getting the results you want in any of this?
If you do not like your answers to these questions, do they tell you something needs to change? If so, you are in the right place for guaranteed results...
“The Golden Keys to Recovery” is an effective — proven since 1986 — counseling therapy approach that is beyond-traditional, where you use TOOLS that work together in a cumulative, progressive manner, to re-script the programming you’ve been operating under to date (that’s been giving you the results you’re getting).
And when you complete — graduating with lots of your beginning changes already in place — you have the TOOLS to continue... creating all of the change you desire in your life — for the rest of your life — including:
High Self-esteem
The Ability to say “No” and stand by it
Confidence in your appropriate stand on what’s right
Setting and maintaining good Boundaries
Loving yourself enough to know you deserve only the Best!
Telling it like it is...
Taking NO GUFF from the people you’ve been enabling!
The person(s) whose unhealthy patterns you enable may be doing one or more of these behaviors:
Drinking too much
Abusing drugs (prescription or street drugs)
Getting arrested (you keep bailing him/her out)
Spending too much
Overdrawing their bank account / bouncing checks
Gambling too much
In trouble with loan sharks / check cashing agencies (who get you hooked and steal you blind!)
Maxing out the credit cards
Working too much / not enough
...And any of a number of other unhealthy behaviors/patterns of addiction
However you look at it, they are driving you to distraction, emotional and financial ruin!
Enabling is Very Often Part of Codependence
Any time you assist / allow another person to continue in their unproductive / unhealthy / addictive behavior, whether actively or passively, you are enabling!
Silence condones. So even when you say nothing (such as ‘minding your own business’), you are enabling the behavior to continue.
Sometimes you say nothing out of fear — fear of reprisal, fear of the other person hating / hurting / not liking you; or fear of butting in where you don’t think you belong. Perhaps even fear of being hit... or worse!
In the media we now see messages about reporting child abuse, or reporting domestic violence. The message is attempted to be conveyed that it IS your business to report these things — whether it’s happening to you or to someone else.
Our former First Lady’s book says “It takes a community to raise a child” — and it does. It takes everyone caring... enough to “butt in” when you see something you know isn’t right.
(Perhaps such as the person who got you to come here...?)
Want to talk about it?
Chat with me briefly when I’m online, or phone me during my office hours (see below for both options). Attend one of our no-cost 90-minute Preview (forum-type) Open Chats in Jannette’s Meeting Room, by sending your email to me now:
You must specify the date and time of the Open Chat for which you are registering. (Current schedule is available at meetings.htm page.)
Give your name, email address, and the other information requested in the web page. Your registration will be acknowledged and you will shortly thereafter be given the access information to the Meeting Room. (It is not automated.)
When will be the right time for you to get healthy?
There’s always something, so put it off no longer! (The ‘somethings’ are just excuses, you know! They are resistance — you get help with that.)
The longer you wait, the more severely unhealthy your pattern becomes, the more work it will take to reverse it; and the more it will cost... (as is also true of the pattern of the person(s) you enable).
However... there IS a way to make it happen for yourself NOW! (Please ask if you need help budgeting...)
If you haven’t registered yet, time is running out!
Make your healing and the rest of your life being happy, successful, constructive — a life of your own design — begin, starting right now.
Free those you've been enabling to also find their own health...
When you are your own highest priority, you’ll make it happen. No one will ever care as much about you as you should care about yourself. (And that may be something you need help to learn how to do, too!)
“If it is important enough to you, you will find a way. If it is not, you will find an excuse.”
Stop with the excuses — RIGHT NOW! That’s all someone else’s negative programming and the sooner you recognize it, let it go and take charge of your own life, the faster it can begin to turn around for you.
I’m ready to help you do all of that, when you’re ready to LET ME HELP YOU...
You were led here to receive this information and have my help...

Beyond-Traditional Therapeutic TOOLS”
(509) 922-3915
My telephone hours are from
10 AM to 7 PM, Pacific Time(Only, Please)
NOTE: With my “Provide Support” chat software, you can now chat with me when I’m online... just check the upper right corner of many of my pages (or bottom), which tells you whether I am online or offline. When I am offline, you can leave me a message (and I will get back to you ASAP). I’m easy to talk to, and if I approach you to chat, I hope you’ll know it’s really me (not some pop-up advertising), and won’t run away! P^)
You are invited to write for a time for a private, no-cost phone consultation with me, to learn more about my program and to see if we feel it is suitable for you.
PLEASE! Write me ONLY when you are serious about having my help... If you are just ruminating and thinking you need to do something about your life and your relationships, but aren’t truly ready to take any effective action, you will be taking up my valuable time — time I must reserve for someone who is genuinely ready to have their life change for the better. Better that you spend your time reading more pages on my site for now, and write me when you are absolutely ready to begin with some continuing level of my help...
Note: A service is available in my practice to assist those who are desiring help in working up to your readiness for change, in working through resistance, and all that goes with helping you with awareness, understanding of dysfunctional patterns. And an ebook is being written which you will be able to purchase to assist you in this. To be on the list to be notified when this book is ready for download, send me an email to: changebook@inspiredcounseling.com, with your full name and correct email address, and I will let you know.
An e-Booklet is available soon on “Enabling - Learn More About It”. To be on the list to order this, email me at enablingbook@inspiredcounseling.com.
The phone consultation does two things: It allows you to experience me and to explore how I might be able to help you — to know whether you want to engage my services. It allows me to assess if you will be a good client for me — if you are someone whom I can truly help — your readiness for help, your commitment, your ability to budget my services, your follow-through. Our ability to work together in good rapport is an important key to the effectiveness of the therapy.
Before you call, please make a list of questions — be thinking about the ways you’d like to be helped in your life. And if you prefer, and can schedule another time to do this consultation, send me an email with three good days/times for you, I’ll pick one and perhaps give you some homework to do before or after the call.

NO SPAM! Forewarning! When you write to me for help, be sure to be very careful that the words you use in the subject line and the body of your email do not in any way resemble the subject matter used in SPAM (or porn), because I have just set up SPAM filters which are very all-encompassing. The SPAM is growing by leaps and bounds and taking up way too much of my day, leaving too little time for the real business of writing for and helping you! I have changed the email addresses at which you can write to me, to get rid of those which seem to have gotten on CDs sold round the world!

TESTIMONIALS —
“You get the tools you need to make permanent changes in your life.
“I learned to take my life back for me – to set limits and boundaries.
“...to recognize patterns and addictions & change them
“...that I need growth in my life forever and to appreciate it.
“I can recognize addictive behaviors in others and be more choosy in the relationships I get involved in.
“I let people own their own problems.
“I would recommend the program to anyone who wants change in their life.
“I feel better about myself than I ever have in my life.”
— C.L. (Private Client & Stage I Group Graduate)
“I learned to say “no”... I am more confident and sure of myself... able to be by myself; comfortable with me, not worried about what everybody else thought.
“I learned to please me; I’m not trying to please everybody else. I developed my own style. I let go of the past... it has nothing to do with now.
“I know how to express how I feel — not hold back. To express when I don’t like what somebody’s doing ...and when I do — to balance it, against being so negative and frustrated expressing what I don’t like all the time. Not rewarding when they make you uncomfortable, and rewarding when they do!
“For the first time in my life I feel like I’m really a whole person — just being myself — not trying to be 20 different people. I look at people and see what I like... rather than worry what they like about me.
“I live it daily...”
— T.P. (Stage I & II Graduate)
“This process of growth is about gaining a more positive self-image by learning to reprogram yourself. I’ve learned to accept only what I need in order to feel good about myself and not always put others first. Sometimes it’s my turn to be first (something I had forgotten someplace after third grade!)
“The tools have helped me to explore feeling “how do I really feel?”.
“I’ve achieved life change in that I am in charge of me. I no longer feel I have to take less in my life than what I want.
“Overall: It is a good program for overcoming codependent pattern or just changing things in your life you want changed — and finding out what they are...”
