What YOU say
about SelfHelpCollective.com! Welcome to the page of unsolicited praise
(mostly) about this site, SelfHelpCollective.com. These comments come from
the start of the site in early May, 2008 up until the time I collected them for
this page on early Dec, 2009. (If you'd like to have your say, then please

Hello. This is Steve M Nash. And he's happy with what you say
about SelfHelpCollective.com (Look at that smile - can't you tell!) |
Unsolicited
Testimonials - Your FeedbackAbout SelfHelpCollective.com - what You say...To
'Summarise'...This is one of my favourite testimonials for SelfHelpCollective.com.
I like it because it sums up what I was trying to achieve when I first conceived
of the site back in Feb/March 2008 (read
my site building diary if you'd like to see how this site came to be). The
fact that Lam was much more able to articulate what I was trying to do in a way
that I hadn't really appreciated was just a bonus, really. Thank you Lam. "Hi
Steve! I dropped by your site by following your profile after you commented on
my blog and I must say that I was quite pleasantly surprised! I really love
your "guru-free" ideals. "So often, I see people
chasing after the latest self-help fad/guru and it seems to me that they are merely
trying to fill some void for a parental figure to give them what they never got
during their upbringing. But your site embraces the fact that we are capable adults
with the cognitive and emotional ability to heal ourselves and filter through
the myriad of different messages to find what suits us best and what centers us
most. I love that you trust that at our core is joy and health and that we don't
have to be defined by our pathology. "To be our own guides means
that we have to accept that we did not have adequate guides or that we had those
who misguided us. It also means having to mourn the loss of hope that someone
will come and save us. But you structure your paradigm in such a positive manner,
so that it's not about loss but about the celebration of our own individual potential.
It's a wonderful message!" Of course, it is all so Buddhist
in nature, which I very much appreciate." Thank for your time
and effort on your site!" Dr Lam Huynh (PhD in clinical psychology),

And
this is a testimonial that is, how shall I put it, less favoured.
It's from my youngest sister, and to be fair to her, she's not into self-help.
And if you're not into self-help Julie's words may well resonate. I'm including
Julies words because my site is not for everybody - it's not even for everybody
who's into self-help - and that message is important for me to spread. I do not
have all the answers, and neither does my site - I just wanted to provide a place
where like-minded people could recognise their own worth "Wow...wasn't
sure what to think of all this self-help business... Bit full on self help - hug
yourself thing going on. Not my cup of tea, bit OTT for my taste. However, as
usual site looks well made and does do what it says in its title, lots of appropriate
and good/apt quotes etc. What sort of response have you got? I know you say your
not a Guru, but I'm not going to turn up at your house and find you in a kaftan
sitting on the floor with hairy people, chanting and sharing 'deep' personal experiences,
drinking home made herbal tea am I, if so warn me and i'll bring some home made
cake!"
-- Julie, UK Thank you Julie for what you have to say.
And now, let's see what a whole load of (mostly) strangers have to say about SelfHelpCollective.com... |
Comments
About The 'Collective'May 18th, 2008
"I find it interesting
that 'self-help' in this site's sense is actually 'collective' help and confirms
my belief that 'true' change is only possible in exchange with others (actual
self-help is possible only if inspired, supported, affirmed, enriched by the knowledge,
input, contribution, presence, knowledge of others, even if that's just through
a book, because it is somebody's book you bought!)"
-- Filo, UK
(Professional
psychotherapist) June 16th, 2009
"According to Guru Pitka
(how I love Mike Myers), Guru stands for: 'Gee, You Are You!' So, we each are
our own guru... trying to recognize that myself! Thanks for creating a supportive,
helpful, and fun collective - will be sure to return for more inspiration.
Peace!"

"And
let me say also that I really like what you're doing with your site. Your 'no

"This is the cleanest, smartest site of its kind that I have
run across. ... You offer insight and choices to people needing a spiritual kick
in the butt......or... for those needing positive reinforcement keep up the good
work..."
-- Melissa, Canada "Dear Steve, Your web
site is wonderful and I found it at a perfect time in my life. It is helping
me through a transitional period like millions of being unemployed and the stress
that comes with it. It has helped me along with friends, and family to balance
the tension, & stress that comes with being out of work and stay positive.
Instead of sleepless nights viewing news websites when I need some peace and tranquility,
to calm down, I visit your site and will each day. Thank you very much!"

"Happiness
was something I felt after clicking on your video link LemonJelly aka... Going
on reading on your homepage I was even more happy. "After the
thick butter bread with Rasberry and the kiss I started to halucinate and then,
then I remembered 2003 when I was very much in love and felt loved. That short
time overseas was a time of happiness, indeed. Even in drabbest weather I found
the world around me absolutely wonderful. I noticed things like the dancing of
the sun on dry autumn leaves and much more.
I need not be in company on principle
to be taken by happiness. I experience it early on a sun up when Canary birds
opposite my apartment greet the spring morning. "Amazing
that reading a few lines in your homepage brought back so many good moments without
turning my memories into sadness." Gabriele Muellenberg, Spain

"Dear Steve, thanks again for your lovely site. My head is
"stuffy" with news for days now... It's on the radio, & TV and on
the streets.. I come to your site, and it all empties out of my head and I can
find some peace and a smile too. Being unemployed is only magnified with the busy
news of the US and the World. I visit your site, and i can focus and find harmony.
This enables me to work on my studies, and my hobbies of photograhy and music,(
I am a vocalist)My hobbies help me relax in these very stress-filled times."

"I read the poem Desiderata.
It filled me with peace and joy and reminded me of the wonderful training
I have had as a nun, where most of the ideas in this poem were presented to me.
I agree with the Poet Max Ehrmann that his poem is a poem for life."

Comments From SBI! Site Owners(Note:
SelfHelpCollective.com was conceived and created using an internet business-building
software service called Site Build It! or SBI!. And the following comments come
from other owners of SBI! sites! And you can learn more about how I came to build
(yet another) self-help website in my site-building
diary, here!) Nov 6th, 2008

"I read a lot of stuff on your site Steve, while I followed
the links you sent me. And what absolutely floored me was the casual, friendly
and disarming style in which you wrote everything. I was taken aback by it for
a while, and then as i read and read on I found your site genuinely endearing.
:)..."

"Steve, your site is a total distraction! I have joined
SBI and am at stage of registering domain name. Today, I made a point of visiting
a lot of SBI websites and was about to give it all up were it not for the eye
catching design of your Home Page. Your site looks great - really professional
and interesting. It has lured me away from what I am supposed to be doing - researching
the forums for help! It is one distraction (i.e. your content and presentation)
that I will bookmark and return to when I get over the hump with my own site."
-- Eamonn Cox, Ireland
And these last comments
are not really testimonials, they are what you - the collective - say, about particular
issues... What You Say...10th Oct, 2008
"I
have long been wanting to improve my communication skills but I wonder why I find
it hard to do and your reasons like scared to hurt people feelings when you disagree
with them and don't know how to react on sensitive topics or when critize are
all correct.
"There's only one thing more I like to add. Being confident
on yourself and comfortable with the person affects your level of communication
skills."
-- Badette Velasvo, Australia 11th June, 2008
"I'm
not sure about knowing ourselves completely. I'm not sure it's possible - and
if it was I'm not sure it would be desirable.
"I guess for me self-development
is about bringing all of me to what is important to me.

may be a problem. Sometimes we choose the wrong goal."
