"Patrick Carnes is absolutely brilliant. I am incredibly grateful for having the opportunity and great fortune to be present in his training. A pioneer in his field, he is able to master the task of teaching his theories and life works in an organized, intelligent, easy to grasp lecture…The depth of learning obtained during CSAT training was tremendous. My insights and therapeutic skills have been enormously enhanced."

- Abbe B., Florida

"It was very helpful to hear Dr. Carnes tell his story in a way that was not self deprecating or self shaming. Often in this field we are encouraged or required to hide or mask our own past so that the patient (and even our colleagues) can project their own pathology and use us to their benefit. If done right, some degree of self revelation can be helpful, as Dr. Carnes demonstrated."

- Deborah S., Mississippi

"This was more than just professional training. I felt it was a pluggin-in to a ‘family’ of sorts. I was especially pleased and impressed that Dr. Carnes puts his heart where his mouth is, and lives what he ‘preaches.’ What an excellent role model."

- Annetta D., Florida

"Well presented, dynamic, cutting edge information. Loved the mix of left brain/right brain stimulation of lecture, readings, tools, stories, and experiential exercises…An added and unexpected blessing was the personal healing I received."

- Staci S., Washington

"The CSAT Training has been the most intensive training that I have experienced. Dr. Carnes’ open communication of his knowledge/wisdom and his spiritual connection are absolutely awe-inspiring. I left feeling purposeful, inspired, affirmed and validated."

- Patti H., Florida

"This should be required training for everyone working in the addictions field. It becomes very clear why our traditional approach to addictions treatment has been so inadequate. We have been treating addicts compartmentally, and often missing the core issues."

- Arlene S., Fort Wayne IN

- "James K., San Antonio, TX
