In 1986 I was looking for solutions to the many problems that I had in life. I was not happy, nor did I have a good marriage. I was looking for solutions to my never ending sorrow. I was sad all the time and cried too easily if I saw someone get hurt in a movie. To put it bluntly, I was miserable.

     I began to read the book Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health, but wanted to get my husband to work with me. My husband and I attended a Dianetics workshop together one weekend. Following that, we began to work together following the instructions in the Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health book. The very first time that we used Dianetics I handled all the grief that I had been carrying around with me since I was age 8, when my grandfather died. It was as if I had a new life after that. I was happy, not sad, and no longer upset personally if I saw a movie with sadness in it.

     This was the beginning of my journey toward freeing myself from the past, where I had been stuck. As I continued on with Dianetics I eliminated my unwanted emotions of grief and sorrow. I also lost the awful hidden fears that used to stop me. I regained a sense of knowing who I was and became more aware of the joys of life all around me.

      I used to be shy and afraid to talk to others. Now I can lecture to groups large or small, or talk one on one to someone. I improved my ability to communicate by taking basic communication courses in Scientology. I did these courses after I did the Dianetics workshop. I did not know there were courses in communication until someone at my local Church of Scientology told me how I could help myself communicate better with others.

     After taking a communication course, I discovered the joys of communication. When my husband and I fell out of communication with each other, I used the communication skills I had learned to save our marriage. We have now created a new life for ourselves, and have created a wonderful loving family.

     Scientology has helped me in many ways to be in control of my life. I have personally achieved a peace and happiness that I never thought possible. I now have a totally revitalized marriage, with a beautiful loving daughter and devoted husband.

     Thanks to Scientology I also have a successful carreer as a chiropractic physician, helping people to achieve better physical health through natural alternatives. Every day I use the skills that I have learned in Scientology to communicate to others, and to help others to improve their life.
