About Donna
As a mother who’s lived through the heartbreak of my child’s addiction, I know the pain and desperation you’re feeling. I spent years trying to fix, manage, and rescue him, until I hit my “enough.” In that pivotal moment, everything changed for me, and it can for you too.
Hi, I’m Donna Marston, a CRSW, Harm Reduction Trainer, NAMI Trained Family Support Group Facilitator, and founder of Sharing Without Shame. I’m also known as “The Family Recovery Facilitator.”
Don’t wait until you’re emotionally drowning like I was. I’m offering you the lifeline you need to break free from the chaos and finally reclaim your peace of mind and clarity you’ve been searching for.
Together, we’ll explore:
* What enabling behaviors really are
* How to set & hold healthy boundaries
* How to respond, not react
It’s time to stop surviving and start living again. Let’s begin today!
Today I am the Author of "Healing Without Shame Journal", "Just for Today", "Peeling The Onion" and "Sharing Without Shame". I'm a Certified Recovery Support Worker, a Energy Healing Practitioner and a Shambala Reiki Master.
I worked through my pain and gradually stopped participating in the drama of my son’s addiction. I embarked upon a journey of healing and transforming myself utilizing Energy Healing Techniques. When I was able to move forward with my personal self-care, I also began educating myself about addiction, healing boundaries, unhealthy helping and recovery. It was a long, lonely journey with ups and downs, when people found out I had a child in active addiction, it was like I had cooties - my phone stopped ringing for social events and and the silence became very loud.
It took me years to heal my broken heart, and when I did, I found my voice and my passion for helping parents navigate their new normal - dealing with an addicted child(ren).
