From Our Members
“Group has been a great addition of support for me each week!”
“The biggest thing I’ve gained is Community with other women who have been through the same horrible mistreatment and abuse and Validation!”
“I can’t think of anything that I’d want to see improved, added or increased. The only thing that comes to mind is my preference for in-person.”
“You are a great facilitator, leader and coach with the knowledge that we all need so desperately. You do a great job checking in with each person weekly and allowing them time to speak if they want. I hope and imagine that everyone feels heard as I always did. Group is a safe place to learn to use my voice again and find the words for everything that I’ve experienced which is an on-going process. I appreciate this safe space for the times that I want to voice something on my own behalf but also because it allows me to hear others and know I’m not alone. Coming out of one of these relationships whether by choice or by discard is extremely scary. The support and encouragement we all share with one another in group is priceless.”
“Thank you Sybil for being you!!! I’m very grateful to know you and the other women in group!!! Feel free to use anything I’ve written for testimonial if you like.
The Rising Beyond Podcast and community has given me the insight, comfort and validation to move on with my life confidently post divorce.”
“Court doesn’t seem as scary after being in this group.”
“Now when I see the light at the end of the tunnel, I know that it is not a train. Thank you for this group.”

That experience coupled with her mental health expertise makes her an invaluable resource to clinicians, advocates, and activists alike.”

“Sybil Cummin has created a community and resource that has been helpful to me and to several of my clients. I’ve been so impressed with her articles and webinars, and appreciate her smart and direct, while also sometimes sassy, style. She presents ways to cope with one of the most difficult kinds of situations a person can find themselves in. Her validating and comforting words are priceless to women who have to navigate abusive relationships and find healing afterwards.”

“I am so honored to recommend Sybil Cummin to you! Sybil's passion for her work in undeniable, her energy is unmatchable, and her knowledge is unfathomable. In fact, Sybil is a true “unicorn” in the field of mental health. Let me explain.
There are therapists who know how to coach a family through the court system when a spouse is divorcing someone with narcissistic personality disorder, yet they may not be able to help you understand how to regulate your nervous system. A therapist who has extensive knowledge on regulating nervous systems, does not typically have the same depth of knowledge on engaging in the court system.
Neither of these sorts of therapist simultaneously understand child development and what is important in order to support healthy attachments with your child, nor how to support your child when the family has experienced domestic abuse. Yet, Sybil Cummin’s is all of this! Sybil’s skills and expertise are so diverse! I am so blessed to have been able to work for her and now alongside of her, continuing to learn from her. Thank you, Sybil, for being my dear mentor and friend. I know many of us have greatly benefited from your knowledge and passion for our community!”
