I was fortunate to find the STAR program... What years of therapy and medication could not achieve was realized in just a short time at STAR.

At STAR I saw miracles. I saw people, not the least of whom was myself, re-emerging into joyful life. If you want to reattach to the loving powers you were born with, do STAR.
– Michael O’Reilly,
International Sales Manager
St. Helena, CA
Everyday I am learning more about myself and understanding myself and my "stuff" better. I'm impressed at how well I'm handling adult situations like an adult and able to set better boundaries and take care of myself. I still have a long way to go in my recovery process, yet the shifts are taking place and for this I am very grateful. I also find that I have a new sense of compassion for people, finally understanding that peoples' "stuff" is not about me and most likely comes from a wounded place. It keeps me grounded and able to handle situations much healthier than I have in the past. Thank you STAR!
– Julie, two months
after STAR
South San Francisco, CA
After 28 years together we didn’t know of a happier couple. Of course we were elaborately well-connected. Just imagine the sheer volume of accommodations and adjustments, the level of acceptance, the depth of commitment, the amount of communication invested. Then we did our STARS – separately. We plunged into the ultimate intimacy – no current withholding, and no past secrets. One year later we’ve recovered the comfort and the ease and the confidence we started with. But before, our intimacy was largely a complex truce drawn through the territory of our egos. Now we’re just connected at the soul.
– Lee and Marijo Franklin

I feel like STAR literally saved my life. I just couldn’t figure out why I was so unhappy and stuck. STAR got me reconnected to me – not the me that I created to survive, but the real me.
STAR amazingly created a safe place where I could...shed the incredible paralyzing fear that had taken over and ruled my life. The love and support of Barbara and the STAR staff was what enabled me to do this. STAR amazingly creates the family environment under which all children are able to grow and thrive. STAR also gave me a wonderful family that I can call on and who can call on me. I always wanted to be loved for who I was – warts and all – and STAR gave me that, and most importantly, STAR taught me how to love myself.
