Dear Anne,

I’m writing a letter of recommendation for Gayle Ruud. As you know, I sought help from your organization during a time when I was living the trauma of my husband’s infidelity. When I was most wounded and desperate for hope in surviving, you paired me with Gayle for coaching.

I can say that the progress I have made as a person and the hope that is still alive in my marriage is a direct result of the work that I did with Gayle. Before working with her I was reading books and researching about affairs and affair recovery and getting head smart. What I didn’t have was a sense of direction or practical application of ways to cope with the trauma. Her words and wisdom were a Godsend for a broken woman like I was then. I needed guidance that only someone who had already navigated the path could give along with the encouragement to do so.

I’m just over a year out from initial disclosure and only 3+ months out from full truth so my journey is not close to being done. My need during those months when my heart was in severe trauma, Gayle was the voice I needed and the medicine to my heart. One particular event that stands out was so traumatic that I was sure I’d have a heart attack. My husband had stated that our marriage was over and we should just begin the separation process toward divorce. Gayle talked me through the whole ordeal with the right words and wisdom so that I was able to release the anxiety and approach the situation from a position of peace. From that discussion I was able to confront my husband without stress or fear.

While I’m still on my journey and working through the aftermath of life after betrayal, my ability to do so with strength and belief comes from having been coached by Gayle. I am so thankful for her, that I want to spread the good news of her gift and talent as a relationship coach.

My hope is that others get the opportunity to have Gayle as a coach because of her love, intuition and wisdom to help.  

Sincerely – M.T., Canton, Georgia
