Contestant #1 - Clarissa Perrone
I decided to purchase this course because I was not honoring my needs, I was in an anxious-avoidant trap. I wanted to manifest a love I truly deserved and I did not want to settle down for less anymore.
My favorite art practice was the Inside Outside mask because it really brought to the surface what was sitting down in my unconscious. It was the key to my self-discovery.
My biggest takeaway or insight from the program was That I had nothing wrong. I was not too sensitive, I was not asking too much from a relationship. My neediness is something to feel and go through, rather than judging and condemning it.
I would recommend taking this course because It helped me in manifesting a securely attached relationship and the love I truly deserved.

Contestant #2 - Elizabeth Withyman
I decided to purchase this course because I was struggling in the area of intimate relationships to be the person I wanted to be. After a successful 18 year marriage with a wonderful securely attached man who died prematurely, I became drawn to avoidant or unavailable potential partners, got attached, and then hurt. In a relationship with a Rolling Stone, I was unable to process my emotions and got into unmanageable emotional states with an intense and irrational fear of abandonment. I couldn’t find ways to soothe my wounded inner child. And I couldn’t walk away until I discovered Brianna’s work snd that helped me see what was happening and walk away, and work in myself so that I’m coming from a more enlightened place in future relationships. I’m dating again and I have this new clarity about what I’m looking for and what I’m NOT looking for!
My favorite aspects were the short meditations and art-based experientials as they helped me to understand my emotions.
My biggest takeaway or insight from the program was …a feeling of optimism about the future! Whereas before I felt despondent.
I would recommend taking this course because …it will give you a birds-eye view of your relationship patterns, increase your awareness, potentially change your behaviors and create different outcomes. Just do it!!
-Elizabeth Withyman
Contestant #3- Jodie Burn
I decided to purchase this course because I was struggling with feeling stuck with not being able to attract a relationship with someone who treats me as well as I treat them, or that I can be accepted as myself.
My favorite aspect of the program included the Lectures on emotional boundaries as they helped make me more aware of my people-pleasing and self-sacrificing tendencies that were self-defeating without me realizing it before. Also, I liked the meditations, and the art experiential bridge exercises as they seem to integrate what you can rationalize in your mind, but still need to be able to 'feel differently' about.
My biggest takeaway or insight from the program was That it's not possible not to have needs in relationships and despite me always thinking that this would make me burdensome or "too much." In reality, this disallowance of my own needs has allowed others to dismiss my needs. This is in the sense that if you don't express your needs, how can you expect someone to meet them??
I would recommend taking this course because it will help you gain more awareness of the less obvious behaviors that contribute to you not getting what you want in relationships. In other words, it's not all about "if I treat someone well, I will get what I deserve"... It's also about not idealizing someone's good aspects, or making excuses for someone... when you are still being dismissed in other ways, emotionally.
-Jodie Burn
Contestant #4 - Sabrina Diz
I decided to purchase this course because I was struggling with feeling used.
My favorite activity was the Building an Emotional Vocabulary because it included a creative way of helping me to express my emotions with words, colors, and shapes which led me to a visual epiphany that words alone could not have led me to.
My biggest takeaway from the program was the lesson on Protest Behaviors because those were something I was able to change right away, and it made such a huge difference because after that I knew when I was headed in the wrong direction.
I would recommend taking this course because it is self-empowering and outside of the box.
-Sabrina Diz
Contestant #5- Paula Rolim
I decided to purchase this course because I was struggling with finding the right language or models to communicate with my dismissive-avoidant partner.
My favorite aspects of the program included the private student Facebook group and scribble drawings (creative art therapy techniques).
My biggest takeaway or insight from the program was Learning that I had to dialogue with myself first before finding the words to dialogue with my partner.
I would recommend taking this course because It has the best cost-benefit I have ever had!
-Paula Rolim
Contestant #6 - Rose Roderick
I decided to purchase this course because I was caught in the Anxious-Avoidant Trap.
My favorite aspects of the program included the art activities, guided meditations, and scribble drawings because they externalized my pain.
My biggest takeaway or insight from the program was freedom from pain and embracing self-love and confidence to attract a secure partner.
I would recommend taking this course because It's really the only effective therapy out there for people with an anxious attachment style to help us get out of our heads and begin healing.
-Rose Roderick
Contestant #7 - Ginny Barron
I purchased the Anxious Attachment 101 Course because I am no stranger to that anxious-avoidant trap.
I found Briana's lectures to be extremely helpful. She has a way of simplifying things and making things seem normal and acceptable with content that often doesn't carry that kind of label with it, and can often be very stigmatizing. I was getting information in a way that really spoke to the deepest, inner parts of me that I wasn't even always aware really existed.
I will say that the body involvement in the guided meditations with the art experientials really manages to pack a pretty strong, powerful three-two punch in combination with the lectures. So that is something that you really have to do all of them together. It required me to really quiet or still my inner critic and approach it with an open mind and a curiosity. But once I was able to do that, I was able to start making some pretty profound breakthroughs on my attachment self-discovery journey.
if you approach it with an open mind, it really does have an ability to make changes and provide real progress, not just intellectual progress...I wouldn't have been able to do that without that Anxious Attachment 101 Course.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
With voting, how do I judge the "best" testimonial?
We recommend evaluating the testimonials based on the quality of the recording (including lighting, clear audio, frame, and composition), clarity of expression (how well and concisely the person expresses their thoughts ), how relevant their answers are to the suggested prompts, and overall, if you find the testimonial engaging and inspiring. Basically, we recommend awarding "A's for effort."
We would encourage you NOT to evaluate a testimonial based on the content of their story, as that is going to be unique to every individual and cannot be fundamentally judged as "better" or worse than anyone else's story!
What if I win the cash prize, but I don’t have PayPal?
