Transform
Your Life: Turnaround
House
Turnaround
House, Byron Katie's new 28-day residential program, is
designed to help you confront the ultimate addiction, the
only addiction: the mind's addiction to the unquestioned stressful
thoughts that cause all the suffering in your life.
 Turnaround
House is focused on The Work
of Byron Katie, a remarkable process that millions of
people—addicts, veterans, prisoners, students, hospital patients,
homemakers, executives, politicians, mental-health professionals—have
used to overcome deep-seated self-defeating behaviors.
Turnaround
House is the only facility qualified and approved by Byron
Katie to use The Work exclusively in its addiction and emotional
rehabilitation program.
We
invite you to 28 days in Turnaround House:
If
you are sad, angry, or depressed most of the day, nearly every day.
If
you experience a loss of interest and pleasure in activities
that are usually enjoyable.
If you have difficulty sleeping.
If
you sleep too much.
If
you are too lethargic or too hyper.
If
you have a poor appetite and experience weight loss.
If
you eat even when you're full.
If
you experience a loss of energy or great fatigue
after working or meeting others.
If
your mind is full of negative thoughts,
feelings of worthlessness and guilt.
If
you are indecisive.
If
you always need the approval of others.
If
you have job burnout.
If
you experience recurrent thoughts of death and suicide.
If
you often hate yourself.
If
you have come down a long road and at each step of the way feel
pushed and pulled by painful, stressful thoughts and if some of
them begin with "I can't...." "It's too...." "There's
no...." "They won't...", and you have stumbled
over every one, then we welcome you to Turnaround House.

A
Letter from Anil Coumar, Certified Facilitator of The
Work
A
few weeks ago, a physician referred to me a young patient
of his, a woman with an intense fear of eating. After
a few choking episodes, she became terrified to swallow food.
If you treat people with psychosomatic problems, you may be
aware that the symptoms are often resistant to psychological
interventions. In the past, I would have resorted to long
explorations of her history to find out the underlying psychological
explanations for these symptoms. Instead, this time I gently
introduced her to The Work and guided her in self-inquiry.
She was able to see how her stressful thoughts (for example,
"Something terrible is going to happen") caused psychological
and physiological stress and led to her symptoms. She visibly
relaxed in the session as she questioned her fear. Last week,
she came to the session and reported that not only is she
able to eat now, she is also able to eat alone, something
she has not done in a long time because of her fear of choking.
And most important, she is now aware that whenever she becomes
symptomatic, it is an opportunity for her to question her
negative thinking patterns.
Sincerely
yours,
Anil Coumar

Using
The Work of Byron Katie to locate and utilize the wisdom
within you, we are easily able to identify and deal directly with
the root-cause of dysfunctional acting-out, addiction, depression,
burnout, violence, confusion, fear and pain.
The
"how" of dealing with problems finally becomes completely
understood, as we question the stressful thoughts that are the cause
of all human suffering.

"I
am a recovering heroin addict ... but after being introduced
to The Work I had to ask myself, 'Is my mind clean
and sober?' The answer was NO. The Work has assisted me in
getting to the root causes of my addiction, which is
imperative for permanent change. What really impresses me
is how versatile the questions are. Not only do I apply The
Work to my thoughts around my addiction, but every area
of my life..."

"Please pass along to Katie my gratitude for Turnaround House. Wow!
I feel great! I find myself doing my own Turnaround House here at home, continuing the food plan, loving how I have no
cravings, continuing the morning exercise and loving the 5 stretching movements. My vision continues to improve, relationships feeling more honest. Getting
reports from others that I look and feel strong and well. Thank you for the life changing opportunity.

A
Note from Byron Katie about Turnaround House
As
many of you know, The Work is always free on my website. Everything
that people need is there, as well as in my books, which are
in as many libraries, school systems, prisons, and nonprofit
organizations as we can afford to place them in. There is
a free hotline on the website, and a free round-robin network
where people can do The Work with trained facilitators.
That said, the decision to create Turnaround House was simple.
We wanted to give people who could afford it a chance to experience
the transformational effect of The Work and support it at
the same time. The money raised through Turnaround House
is used to spread The Work around the world.
We will continue to expand the scholarship program for those
who cannot afford the nine-day School for The Work-teachers,
therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, and others who work
in hospitals, public schools and universities, prisons, government
offices, rehab and literacy centers, etc. These people and
institutions don't always have the funds to allocate because
their budgets are stretched to the point of bare essentials
just to continue operating. They take The Work back to their
families, their communities, and their institutions, and everyone
who follows the simple directions in the School (I call it
the School of You) carries less burden, more clarity, and
a kinder life out to the world as a result of it. And I continue
to urge people, if there's any way possible, not to live the
rest of their lives without doing the School first.
The money raised also allows us to pay for our staff, the
websites, our offices, and to travel to countries and to people
who cannot afford to pay. We thank you for supporting The
Work so that we can continue programs like our prison project
at San Quentin, our education project, and our work with the
V.A. for our vets suffering from post-war trauma.
Thank you for supporting The Work.
Loving you,
Byron Katie
