Dr. Colt's clients have said:
"Hi, Dr. Colt. Just
wanted to let you know I'm doing great! I have lost
5 pounds in the last month (no effort) and feel like a million
bucks." -- B.S.
"I don't know what's happening, but I just don't want
to eat sugar anymore." -- W.J.
"...the best money I've
ever spent. I mean that." -- P.S.
"Hi Dr. Colt - as of tomorrow
it will be one month since my last visit with you. I purposely
waited this long to report back to you on how well I've
done. I have made tremendous progress. I still
can't believe how my life has changed. Here goes....
To date I have lost 8 lbs. - I tried on a skirt today that
I haven't been able to wear since 2003. I am still
going to Curves 5-6 days a week religiously. Eating hasn't
been a problem at all. I'm doing exactly what you told me
to do. I last saw you on 2/1. On 2/6 - I worked in my office
at home. I took all the papers that I had on the desk and
put them in a pile on a TV tray out of the way. I cleaned
and organized the rest of my office, putting up pictures,
etc. It now looks like an organized office.
My next step is to clean out the closet in the guest bedroom.
Then I am going to go to the closet in the living room and
clean it out. I still have clothes in these closets from
when my house burned and they brought them back. They have
been there ever since (1998). On 2/10, I tackled the papers
that I had put in the pile. Everything has been filed.
Now when I get my mail I immediately take it up to my desk
and file it away. On 2/11, I refinanced my house combining
my second mortgage - I went from a 7.25% to 5.75%,
saving myself $200 per month. In addition, I contacted my
insurance company on my homeowners insurance, the adjustments
I made saved me $300 per year. Please know that
I've wanted to refinance but every time I checked into it
I'm told "no it can't be done" or I've got the best deal
that I'm going to get. So I literally gave up. Plus I was
comfortable. On 2/12 & 2/13, I racked in my yard.
This is something that was always hard for me to do. I still
have a couple of piles to bag up but overall a huge improvement.
On 2/19, I switched Tree Service Companies. I've had the
same company for over 12 yrs. When I got my contract for
2005 the cost was through the roof in excess of $2,000..
I checked around and got another company to do the same
things for a lot cheaper. Saving around $1,300. 2/25 - I
had a date. 2/26 - I had a date. I haven't been emotional
at all until 2/14 - Valentines Day. It just got to me when
I had no one in my life. I got through it though. I've been
listening to the tape 2-4 times a week. I have not
cried or gotten emotional when I go to my favorite place.
Liquor consumption is at about half of what I was drinking
before. Other than 2/14 I haven't been emotional at all.
The thoughts that have plagued me for many many years are
gone. I was always pretty confident before but now....my
confidence is like at 300%+. I'm even thinking of
changing jobs or doing things that would enhance my current
job. I feel different and can't explain why. I'd say I've
done really really well. I just can't believe the things
I've done. I owe it all to you Dr. Colt. I had
a feeling it was fate when I met you. You have literally
saved my life and I cannot thank you enough. Keep
up the good work!!! Thank you! Kathy"
"Hi Dr. Colt, {Name] here.
I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how things
are going. I've really seen a difference in my life
since our sessions. I feel I have really gotten control
over my emotions as well as my outlook on things in general.
I doubt in your field you get enough positive response,
so let me say how wonderful it was to work with you and
how big of an impact you made on my life. You have
a very warm and sincere manner that made me feel very comfortable
your call. Occasionally people find the perfect avenue
for their skills. You have done that indeed.
I hope one day our paths cross again. Who knows, may
I'll run into you in San Francisco. Take care and
the best to you and your family. Deepest Regards,
[Name]"
"Every time I talk to you, a little part inside of me
is healing." -- R.C.
"I certainly did appreciate your ear, as it took quite a
load off my heart and shoulders to be able to share my dilemma.
Many thanks for your unbiased perspectives and your non-judgmental
counseling. I did learn something from the encounter
- what my boundaries were...what I was prepared to handle,
or not. That's a good thing." -- W.J.
"Marshall, thanks for the great reading material, it
was very inspiring! Also, I'd like to thank you for
all of the time and effort you put in for me. You've
given me some great ideas, now it's up to me to 'just do
it.'" -- G.L.
"Dr. Colt: It was
a real pleasure talking with you. You appear to have
some keen insight that others before you have not.
I would like to work with you to break this "Spell" that
has attached itself to my mental well being. -- P.D.
"Dear Marshall, I just wanted to drop you a line,
and was motivated by your caring [9/11] email. I'm
so appreciative that you really want to be available to
your clients, and I just simply thought that it was a very
nice thing to do. Although we only met once,
I wanted to let you know that it was very helpful, and I'd
like to have another session at some point in the future.
I was impressed at how productive it was, and I felt that
even though I didn't feel like I was being particularly
articulate, you seemed to really understand what I was trying
to communicate. Such a relief to me! I will
give you a call when I figure out when I can make an appointment."
-- B.M.
"...was impressed at breadth and depth of experience."
-- P.F.
"I've been in counseling several
times before. This is the first time I feel there're
changes taking place. Before I felt like I was just
putting band-aids on. Life is 100% better that it
was 3 months ago. Being alone is okay again.
When you first told me about this process, I thought you
were nuts. Now I find myself having a lot more peace.
Thank you, Marshall" -- H.P.
"Of all the mediocre, and less than mediocre,
therapists I've seen, and I'm not patronizing you, Marshall,
you're the best therapist I've ever had." -- W.K.
" Thanks for your help, I feel much better about myself
already." -- T.C.
"You were fantastic.
I had quite a bit to think about after talking to you and
I greatly appreciate you taking your time and sharing your
expertise with me." -- V.A.
"I was impressed with your straightforward, fair, no
nonsense approach. I even told my friends, 'This guy
is good.'" -- D.R.
"Thanks for meeting with me on such short notice.
I felt really great after leaving your office Wednesday
night and have been feeling great ever since." -- M.B.
"I feel that it really helps me when I see you and I
do not want to wait 10 days in between appointments if I
do not have to." -- T.R.
"I walked in [your office] last night feeling confused
and uncertain. I left feeling like I had my direction
back a bit (at least a game plan). Thank you for that.
I will let you know if I should need a "tune-up" at some
point. But I want you to know that having someone
you can go to in times of difficulty is a valuable thing
indeed. So thank you for that as well." -- E.C.
"Dr. Colt - Hi, I just wanted to say thank you for our
counseling session last night. I think you did a great
job, and I feel like you can really help me. I was
definitely tense and nervous, as I've never done this before,
but I want you to know that I do feel like I can trust you,
and that I think that I can become very comfortable with
you. You were right when you said that it would be
hard, but I know that it won't get better without going
through the hard stuff first. I look forward to our
next session.... Thanks again." -- S.K.
"Thanks for the confirmation. I am happy about
the coming appointment. Sounds funny to say that with
all the pain and the rest to deal with during and after
and at the same time, a relief and happiness to deal with
it at last. Thanks for being there and look forward
to seeing you next week." -- G.P.
"Hi Marshall: The other night you thanked me for being
patient. Well, I just wanted to thank you for everything
you're doing. [Name] seems to be doing much better.
She seems happier than I have known her to be in a very
long time. She seems hopeful and optimistic.
She really feels like she is making progress with you specifically
and her life in general. So 'Thank You' with all my
heart for helping my lady." -- B.E.
