Free Services
The Institute offers a number of free and low cost services/products for survivors.
FREE: Every week we offer ‘Sandra Says‘ weekly article that is survivor-focused and pathology-oriented. For almost two years now, Sandra has been offering her extensive knowledge of pathology in a gratis newsletter/article format. This comes to your email box weekly as ‘The Institute Latest News Updates’ and has a link to her weekly article.
The Institute and Sandra’s array of free library-volume archives of a hundred previous articles on pathology, recovery, and survivor issues from ‘The Dangerous Liaison‘ blog is located at www.howtospotadangerousman.blogspot.com.
Monthly, The Institute’s faculty and staff writers produces an array of unbelievable information in their columns in this magazine at no cost. Our readers benefit from the expertise of:
- An Attorney who is also a Social Worker who is a specialist in law cases regarding personality disorders in court
- A Child Behavioral Analyst who lends her knowledge about children with PTSD and valuable behavioral approaches
- A Pathological Love Relationship Coach who shares her successful business techniques for reaching the community with the message about pathology and learning how to become a successful relationship coach to bring in an income
- A Forensic Mental Health Counselor who writes extensively about traumatized children, the signs of early psychopathy in children, and which treatments work
- A publisher, editor, and prolific writer about all-things pathological who contributes a valuable look at pathology in hidden careers and motives
- A survivor who shares her own gut-wrenching journey of survival and healing so others might know the path to recovery
- A long time woman’s advocate writes about pathology in the political realm and how to spot it in political systems as well as in political individuals.
- There are monthly interviews in the magazine with some of the biggest names in the pathology field. These are often written articles and sometimes links where you can listen to the interviews with some great researchers.
- The magazine also supplies a broad recommended list of resources, books, and links for your recovery.
The Institute also operates 9 other informational websites about the issues of pathology as a public education outreach.
Sandra volunteers her time to staff various large womens websites columns in which she answers questions about pathological relationships.
Once monthly The Institute offers a 30 minute free mini tele-seminar on a topic related to pathology.
The Institutes is not a non-profit which means we do not receive government money for our programs, nor do we receive grants, other forms of funding, very few donations, and no fund raising dollars. Those associated with The Institute are professionals who donate their services, time, and products a greatly reduced price for our readers and survivors. All of us need to work for a living and we all have mortgages, bills, mouths to feed, children to educate, our graduate degrees to pay off, etc. I don’t think people always realize that just because you work with survivors doesn’t mean you can do it for free. If you are not a non-profit then you must charge in order to survive. Please be respectful of the contributions that our staff DO make to make as much of our products and services they can be ‘low cost.’
Some of our products and services are not free, but ARE low cost. This includes our e-books, quizzes, print books etc. that start as low as $7.95. All year long we offer weekly and monthly specials and discounts on our products.
Our program is highly specialized and while that usually implies a higher specialization fee, we have kept our service fees very low and ‘affordable for most’ people. In a specialization field like this, individuals could pay between $150-200 per individual counseling session. Our reduced fee is $65 per session.
Our retreats and 1:1s are similarly priced at ‘affordable for most’ prices.
Our weekly seminars that are power-packed and fact-packed are $20.
We continue to also donated books and consultations to other women’s organizations as we can.
Thank you for your support and hopefully one day a ‘Grant Angel’ will arrive and write grants so we can do this work without having to charge as we do. Until then, thank you for your support.
