    This program gave us the opportunity to move our marriage relationship beyond what we ever…read moreperceived it could be. The methods they use were difficult for us at first, but pushing through them has brought major improvement to every area of our relationship. Within 36 hours we began to experience the collapse of the wall we had built up between us over years and years of poor communication, selfishness and hurt. Our marriage is still getting better because of the changes we have made. This program taught us how to communicate without strife. This is key to rebuilding a struggling relationship. We also appreciated that it was peer based. Everyone that is involved in the program has been through the program so they know what they're talking about, and they care! We've noticed the rest of the relationship world is now catching up by recently making use of some of the methods that Retrouvaille has been using for decades to turn around failing marriages. That's a good testimony to this program. (If addictive behaviors are part of the issue, we suggest also using a Celebrate Recovery type program. The best one we have found is Setting Captives Free which is free and available online.)

    This program can be life-changing for a troubled marriage. Since there's currently few local…read morereviews, seek out reviews of Retrouvaille in other cities; it's a standard curriculum worldwide. Those reviews will be relevant. My wife and I had marital problems spanning years. We'd visited several one-on-one marriage counselors for months at a time with little benefit. I found "Retrouvaille" on Yelp (the unusual French name is pronounced RET-rove-eye) We're in a MUCH better place than several months ago. Bear with my detailed review below - there's a lot to describe. First, this program is a Catholic-based ministry but DON'T LET THAT DISSUADE YOU if you're not Catholic. Couples of all faiths are welcome. I was raised Jewish and am an atheist now; my wife is a non-practicing Lutheran. We'd absolutely go through the program again. Maybe 10 percent of the overall time and content has a Catholic slant to it, but it really isn't overbearing and there's minimal focus specifically on Jesus or Catholic doctrine, just general spirituality and occasional references to God. Tune out what doesn't jibe with your belief system. 90 percent of the program is non-religious instruction on building the tools you need to save your marriage. They offer Catholic mass outside of the core hours of the program if that's your thing. All couples were heterosexual; I'm not sure if gay marriages would be welcomed in a Catholic program. It's VERY different than seeing a counselor - it's NOT counseling, group therapy, or other treatments. The non-profit program started in Quebec in the 1970s (hence the French name which means rediscovery). It's been so successful there are Retrouvaille programs worldwide. The website https://retrouvaille.org/ offers a lot more information. The first phase of the program is what they call "The Weekend." You spend an entire weekend from Friday night through late Sunday afternoon at a local hotel. (Our weekend was held at a nice Hampton Inn in Oldsmar). Besides the room, all meals are covered. You MUST stay continuously through the entire weekend - it's an intensive process. You need to make arrangements for childcare, etc. The program heavily subsidizes the cost of the weekend - considering two nights hotel and all meals and the program materials were covered, it was quite affordable for what we got from it. They don't want cost to prevent couples from entering the program. Several couples were from out of town - some came from as far away as Orlando and New Orleans. If you can't find a local Retrouvaille weekend coming up soon enough and need help NOW, consider going out of town! During our very intensive "Weekend" in August 2017, we heard other volunteer couples that completed the program lecture about their own struggles and how they were working at overcoming them. The commitment of these volunteers to help others is inspiring; one couple began to "restore" their marriage 30 years ago and still actively provides lectures. (They say that their own marriage grows from administering the program). You'll learn techniques for communicating your feelings both in writing and verbally called "dialogue". You'll learn that feelings are neither good nor bad, they just are there. The unique thing about "The Weekend" - you attend lectures in a large room (we had 35 couples in our weekend at the hotel), but break from the larger group numerous times and GO UP TO YOUR HOTEL ROOM for personal exercises in dialogue. You DON'T spill your guts about your private problems to a bunch of strangers. The use of a hotel to facilitate private discussions in hotel rooms is innovative and worked well. My wife and I turned a corner during "The Weekend". By Sunday, we communicated much better with each other than we had in years. It felt like there was hope that we could reconcile things further. We celebrated our 20th anniversary a couple weeks after "The Weekend" and it was wonderful to see things were on the right track. THE WEEKEND'S JUST THE BEGINNING though. There are eight consecutive weeks of "Post Sessions" (included with your fee) that take place in Tampa on Sunday afternoons for about 4-1/2 hours each. (Out of towners during "The Weekend" can go to a local chapter for the Post Sessions). These are IMPORTANT; hopefully you've seen the program's value and commit to this additional investment in your marriage. At the Post Sessions, you get a thick workbook and learn a LOT about other issues that contribute to marital problems - conflict resolution, personality types, communication techniques, how your family history affects your relationship, etc. This is where the REAL work happens. We completed the entire Post program and attended every session. You can always go back in the future if you think it will help you. Retrouvaille is committed to your marriage for life. Good luck in saving your marriage and I'm so thankful I discovered Retrouvaille!

    Blamed me for being abused, talked to someone who abused me behind my back and made medical…read moredecisions based on his account. She over charged me for sessions where all she did was talk about her issues or made excuses for her mistakes. She screwed up prescriptions and blamed me for it while refusing to fix her errors or respond to the pharmacies inquiries. She got me banned from several pharmacies for writing a prescription for a medication I wasn't on and didn't ask for, and sent the same prescription to the wrong pharmacy 6 times causing CVS to refuse me. She also refused to contact any pharmacy to answer questions about her prescriptions. She charged me for 4 sessions to change the same medication that no longer worked but refusal to confirm with the pharmacy led to being untreated resulting in the loss of my job, and many life consequences that she didn't care about. She the medically abandoned me twice once for passing drug tests she was trying to use to justify me being abused and the second for blaming me for her mistakes and her failure to follow her own policies. She changed the doses of my medication when I first saw her without my knowledge or consent resulting in me dropping out of medical school. She plays favorites and will not be there for you when you need it. I trusted her and almost lost my life several times for it to be medically abandoned. I used her for 7 years and paid $140,000 and all I have is record of her own life problems and no chance to find treatment. Hopefully you are someone she likes because she will neglect you otherwise

    My child had an episode, I called. They took him. I was later told he was ok just going through…read moresome personal stuff. They however kept him for 3 days which is the minimum allowed. Though they assessed him as not having an issue which would make him need treatment, they kept him. Six weeks later a bill came in the mail $2500. We have insurance. Last December, my daughter bought her brother a pair of Adidas sneakers for Christmas, he was wearing them when he was admitted, they were fairly new shoes as my son doesn't leave home much. I didn't know he couldn't have shoes with laces, (makes sense). When I went to get my son on day #3, I waited for almost an hour because they couldn't find his shoes! He came home wearing some 1970s flip flops, he was given a form to fill out and return. We returned the papers. We have yet to have a response from them. We've called, still haven't found them. The place is like a prison, cameras everywhere, metal detectors, paperwork to fill. How did my son's shoes disappear without a trace? He didn't eat, sleep nor bathe for the 3 days he was there. He said the food looked gross he was afraid to be in the room with someone who was verbal constantly, (he took mini naps in the hallway) didn't want to undress. He was scared! He was being offered medication though they said he was ok. He declined!

    The communication is horrendous. I've been hung up on 6 times, they've taken my information to call…read moreme back and never did. This has been going on for over a week looking for my brother's lost property. Don't even get me started on the lack of treatment while he was there. I hope no family has to encounter this mess of a place when they're going through a crisis.
