The Mindful HabitReviews of themindfulhabit.com

I have been a fan of Craig Perra for some time. I have a degree in mental health counseling and manage an online resource for those struggling with unwanted sexual behaviors. It was time to sharpen the saw a bit, so I signed up to do one-on-one work with Craig and The Mindful Habit. This was a large sum of money but felt it would be well worth the investment to add some new, updated skills to my own work of the last 20 years. Over the last week, I've spent about 5 hours getting to visit with Craig about a variety of recovery topics. Its been a pleasure and I felt like I met a twin brother. I felt his genuine concern for me and my professional goals. He CARES, and wants us to avoid the awful consequences that often accompany our unwanted behaviors. I knew I'd come to a great place in my journey. 6 days ago (December 14th), I was doing some demo work on our condo which is being remodeled. I overdid it and had a collapse. I knew I was going to go through some tests and probably experience a significant life event, which played out over the next few days. I have no firm diagnosis yet, but texted Craig to tell him I would have to reluctantly withdraw for a time, and asked for a refund, though my experience had been so positive. There was NO hesitation, and nothing but best wishes for a speedy recovery. Finances will be tight, as will the anxiety that will accompany the ongoing tests and wondering about the future, but Craig's attitude revealed more than his skill and knowledge about helping people in this space, and allowed me to see, in action, that he is a man of honor and integrity. I offered to send back the materials I had just received in the mail the day before, but he invited me to keep them and review them, and that we'd both hope for a speedy recovery and return to our one-on-one work. I've been in this arena for 20+ years. Mindful Habit and Craig have not just "interesting" information, but IMPORTANT. I'm just getting into the manual and training. It's marvelous stuff. I have not finished the program; have only a few hours with Craig, and have now taken a little sabbatical for health reasons, but if leading indicators matter, Craig is the real deal. Thanks for helping me out, Craig. I can't wait to return. Many thanks to you. Can't tell you how appreciative my wife and I are for your help at this time.

I've been using the Mind Habit system since 2016 and have enrolled in Enhanced Accountability Program with Coach Adrian Sztobryn. Highly recommend both this program and also Coach Adrian. He has helped me dramatically to understand how my triggers and unmet needs factored into my porn viewing. First time in years that I'm completely free of porn and even softcore viewing. This program definitively is a life changer if you put in the effort to do the work.. Coach Adrian is a very effective coach and has a lot of insight that has proven helpful to me. ~ Jim

I can honestly say that Craig Perra is one of the most dedicated individuals I have ever come across. He is always prepared for every call and/or session and literally gives it his all. He also has an infinitely large amount of patience. I know this firsthand because I am not the easiest client to work with. There are sometimes I am all in to bettering my life and then there are others where I become rather hopeless. Not once has Craig ever given up on me. He may be honest with me and remind me that ultimately he cannot "fix" me, but he never gives up. He continues his relentless search for the best way to help each individual client. I believe I have a come a long way, but in all honesty have a long way to go. Only I can make the commitment to complete the recovery. But Craig has given me the tools to do it!

I found The Mindful Habit, and eventually Craig and then Tara when I was hurt, lost, scared, confused, upset, mad, a combination of hurtful feelings. I knew immediately after my initial call with Craig and his direct approach, I wanted to learn more from them. After three months I'm in a much better place totally from their work and look forward to continuing to grow. I've learned much about my partner, the various aspects of life that potentially brought us to this place. They are supportive of both parties separately in their own personal healing and growth, whatever that looks like for each of us. No judgement, ever. While the topic of their program is quite frankly a taboo subject in normal situations, the truth is it's happening more than we'd like to believe and unfortunately makes it difficult to discuss to most friends, family and colleagues. Their regular group coaching calls and online presence of assistance tools have been so supportive and helpful in my healing, understanding and growth. Thank you so much!

I came to Craig when I was in a terribly dark place...divorced due to my porn use, routinely depressed, self-loathing, and in a cycle of doom. Craig slowly, over a few months, created awareness, strategy, new healthy habits, and most importantly he created a new love for myself i haven’t experienced since I was a child. He literally saved me from wanting to suck-start a shotgun. He’s the real deal: been there, done that...walked a mile in your shoes. He speaks from experience and he allows that experience to speak to you. Trust him...and you too will be transformed. He is truly a remarkable person who can help you if you let him. I now call him friend.

I am the partner of a porn addicted husband. We have been married for 10 years and have two little girls. He has been addicted for about 30 years and it’s been about 7 years since I first found out about it, since then he had tried different ways to sort things out - from denial to the 12 steps, but everything led him to reincide again and again. The last time I walked into him I was ready to file for divorce and as I was trying f to keep on gaining more understanding of the situation I heard one of Craig’s podcast that really spoke to my situation, so I found more information about his program and ultimately led to me joining the partner’s program and my husband joining the intimacy disorder program. For the addiction, I have seen my husband digging much much deeper and making changes in many different aspects of his life. He feels the program spoke to his challenges from the first time he spoke with Craig - and it’s not really about the porn (though I wouldn’t divorce him for the other character flaws - ie: inability to establish goals or make long term plans or follow thru with one established). Craig is really always there as a guide and resource - super quick to respond to any sort of queries and flexible to connect with. It has not been a long while since my husband joined the program so I cannot attest to the program’s long term efficacy, but If my husband does decide to change his life, I think this is the program that would give him the tools and resources. As for the partners program, we have quite a few weekly calls where we share with each other how we are feeling, what’s going on in our hurt worlds. We are given tools to move forward and track our own progress. It’s been a great resource too because, as partners, we tend to feel alone in our own struggle with deceit and lack of trust for the person we once decided to share our lives with. The program helps us empower ourselves and do our much needed self-care. Highly recommend this program!

This is such an amazing program! It saved our marriage! My husband has a very crazy schedule. This program works perfect for that. All the counseling is either over the phone or computer making it very convenient! Craig has been a wonderful counselor! He knows exactly what Is going on with your husband! He’s heard it all, and knows how to deal with what ever is going on. They have great counseling for the wives to help them to heal, and understand what’s really going on with their husband. By the end you’ll have a stronger, healthier marriage!

Have tried traditional counseling but not until Craig’s program did we crack the code and get to the heart of the issue. Well worth it for both me and my wife. There are no silver bullets but this is as close as it comes.
