|  | Healing the broken-hearted
At Bountyfull, we commit ourselves to a journey with people who have come to realize they are powerless and are ready and willing to seek help. At the core of this approach are the "Bountyfull Principles for Living" which focus on feelings and unconditional self-acceptance.
In an atmosphere of acceptance and understanding, the counsellor walks with the individual through their life story, where the hidden roots of pain and brokenness are unearthed. Individuals often begin to recognize various forms of dependancy to which they have given over their power, in an attempt to 'feel better'. The dependency may be on drugs, gambling, food, alcohol, rage, sex, relationships, counsellors .... the list goes on.
