Cheryl is an amazing straight shooting healer!

Cherlyn started out our consult saying it was not BS…and she was right! She was insightful and a great listener…accurate in her assessments and had humor to lighten such a serious subject. She told me what I needed to hear to push me to the finish line on my healing and to get grounded and focused on my goals dreams and hopes. Am looking forward to seeing her program grow and continuing to learn and get stronger!

Helping me to move on and live my best life!

Cherlyn was amazing! The way she phrases things is so eye opening and healing. She helped me immensely! After a 21yr long toxic relationship I was very depressed and lost. She helped me to believe in myself and see the situation objectively. Enabling me to change my perspective and let go. Moving on and living my best life! Thank you Cherlyn!!

My review on Steps to Happyness is that was a game changer

My review on Steps to Happyness is that this program is a gamechanger.

I reached out to Cherlyn because my life is amazing…but the feelings I was feeling didn’t match my current reality and I was confused about that and wanted to tackle what was getting in the way of my current joy.

Throughout my journey working with Cherlyn, she helped me get in touch with my anxiety and insecurities that I have suffered with from my youth. “Just because you survived it doesn’t mean you have delt with it” she would tell me, and she was right. She also helped me recognize the emotional and psychological abuse that I had suffered from a previous relationship with a partner who had a personality disorder. Receiving validation that I was not crazy was profound.

I had never asked myself what was wrong with him, I was just confused as to why I was left feeling dumfounded following our break-up and thought I was missing something within myself.

Hearing that nothing is wrong with me gave me an entirely new perspective and new motivation for my life moving forward. She also helped me identify my love blind spots. I now have the innate courage to stop second guessing myself, to go forward in my own strength, trusting myself that I have the ability to overcome my past and live in my current joy!

Breaking cycles and healing

I wanna give a shout out to Cherlyn and her coaching. I've been in therapy for years and am amazed at how quickly her coaching made a shift in my life. I'm clearer, calmer, less easily triggered, and on the path to feeling like my life is really my own. I have people in my life who truly care about me and we connect at a deep level and I don't feel burdened by their love.

I get to be myself and set clear boundaries without being afraid of how they'll respond and I'm no longer walking on eggshells. I honestly never thought that would be possible for me, but I wanted to set a better example for my children, and I knew I needed to work differently to get there. When I met with Cherlyn in our intro call, she understood me and my situation better than any professional I've ever worked with. She provided clear guidance and I felt a shift after our initial conversation. I knew this was exactly what I was looking for!

Cherlyn's kind, patient, non-judgmental, and laser-focused attention have been a godsend. I was so ready to move on with my life and stop stressing over my ex after being with him for 30 years. With her coaching and tools, I was able to see and understand how my own upbringing, traumatic experiences, and the ways of thinking I created in response to all of them were actually contributing to how much bs I was willing to tolerate for so many years.

I was even on the path to recreate the same kinds of relationships! I'm so grateful to find this group and Cherlyn's coaching program to redirect my life in a way that aligns with who I am. This work is actually healing the root causes of my thinking and suffering so I don't have to repeat the cycles anymore. This program has changed my life.

Completely Life Changing

I knew I had to join Get Over Him because I knew that my daughter was coming home and I did not want to be like this for her.

I wanted to be her role model.

So I had to be done or else I was going to be this way the rest of my life. If I didn't do it then, I was never going to do it.

This man was draining me financially, emotionally, and mentally. But I was so in love with his potential that I would literally beg him for any breadcrumb or scrap.

I remember bawling on the floor wanting so badly for him to just hold me, and he would say, "Nope, I'm going to work out." or "F your crying."

I went to see a psychologist and a psychiatrist because he said I had BPD (turns out he's the one with BPD).

This man just kept me hooked with his manipulations and his victimhood. If he had asked me to marry him I would have married him. I am so glad I didn't.

I was just exhausted all the time. I thought I was crazy, I thought this was the best I was going to get, this was going to be the rest of my life. I was setting myself on fire to keep him warm.

Finally, I decided that it was time to direct all that effort and energy and attention to ME.

I NEVER thought I would get to where I am today.

Every day in the company of other focused women and Cherlyn's help, things just became more and more clear. I was able to look at my toxic relationship and see how he manipulated me. Being in the company of so much support has been so great.

Yesterday, I did an 8k. I sold my own house and am living in a great new place. I even fixed up my own bathroom, rather than rely on him to do it.

Today, I'm in the best mental and physical shape of my life.

It's so good to get out there and be with friends without the ex, and to have that focus on progressive goals without him defining who I am.

The Get Over Him program has transformed me, and I am no longer looking back.

Simple Solutions for Complex Problems

I cannot express enough the difference I feel in myself, my relationship with my kids, and my ability to handle the big and little problems that my divorce has thrown my way since I started working with Cherlyn Chong! I am simply amazed, more joyful and calm. The fog I was in has cleared because of the strategies she helped me learn and implement. I see a change in how I look, interact with others, and go about my days too.

I was with my ex for 25 years total. The damage was severe. My biggest challenge has been in blocking him out and being able to overcome the negative way I thought about myself. It was intense and deeply ingrained in me.

Cherlyn offered me simple solutions for my very complex problems. She taught me how to calm down, see beyond the crazy making abusive behavior and tactics and develop ways to think on my feet as my ex was actively abusing me. Now when he talks or tries to create chaos in our lives I can combat it and find peace within myself. I can teach my kids how to do this too.

I spent years in talk therapy, meditating, doing EMDR for different things but Cherlyn has been the only one to show me why and how I got into this relationship and how to successfully extricate myself and be stronger inside to fight my way through a very nasty divorce. My ex is really sick. Cherlyn showed me why he is this way and exactly how to fight him off while living in the same space but separated. She put me on a deeper path to healing my full self that I will never forget and always be immensely grateful for. She is worth every Penny and then some!!

Cherlyn was one of the most…

Cherlyn was one of the most knowledgeable, comprehensive, caring, sympathetic Therapist I've ever had. Her recommendations are strongly from science and data and no matter what I said, she always knew the exact thing I needed to heal. I truly can't think her enough for the time she spent with me and her program is phenomenal!!! I would recommend it to anybody who has ever had trauma, abuse, or just trying to grow and learn more about themselves.

Hi all,

Hi all,
Before I started the GOH program, I had low self-esteem, found it hard to speak up and hard to trust others. I had tried other counselling/therapy with no results at all.
I then stumbled across this group and watched for around 5 months, found the group to have a lot of supporting women and positive feedback about the GOH program. I decided to give it one last shot and I am so glad that I did.
My first session Cherlyn had her work cut out she had to work to get me to open up and speak out. Now after the program I have confidence in myself, for the first time I can say I love myself, use my voice and say what I think. I am so proud of myself. Friends and family have noticed the change in me and are proud of me for taking another chance and reach out to Cherlyn.
Cherlyn I thank you so much for the work you done with me, I am forever grateful to you and the GOH program. Ladies if you are like I was or are thinking about joining the program it is really worth it, I only have positive things to say about it.

Once again Cherlyn from the bottom of my heart thank you for you and the GOH program ❤

It works!

I found Cherlyn's group on FB over a year ago when I found myself questioning every decision I had ever made, who I was, and who the person was whom I had spent almost 10 years with. It took me this whole last year and then some, feeling utterly defeated and lost, to realize that I had to find myself because I did not know who I was anymore and no one else did either. I have a wonderful family and the best friends who all were there for me but it was not enough. I finally just decided to take the leap of faith and sign up to work with Cherlyn. I am so glad I did! Results began to emerge immediately as I began to navigate through the threshold of my past to the present so I could see a future. Her program focuses changing how you think and operate through the uncomfortable changes in life that we all face, to be able to steer the ship through the storm. Learning how and what to let go of and learning how to manage life in such a way that you can achieve your goals, achieve success, have peace and clarity, and have confidence in your decisions and accountability for them as well. She does this through healing and helps to identify strategies, tools and practical systems that suit your individual needs and tendencies. At the end of the day it is about so much more than who hurt you, or how angry, sad, and depressed you are because of them. You got to where you are somehow, you can also get yourself out, and Cherlyn really makes it a worthwhile journey!

I got so much MORE out of this program

I want to share with everyone the amazing work I just completed with Cherlyn in the Get Over Him Program.

When I started the program in the fall, I was lost, trapped in the pattern of not being able to let go of my past relationship, my job was ok but with no real future prospects, I was still drinking alcohol daily to numb myself, eating my pain, and generally feeling low grade depressed.

In the time I worked with Cherlyn, we tackled so much MORE than just “getting over him”. We delved into the depths of trauma, and I learned so much about who I was, why I was stuck, and then incorporated so many great tools and techniques to heal, create and manifest my best life and my best self.

What can I now say about today?! My desire to drink alcohol is gone, I have a newfound desire for healthy eating and living, and the wheels are in FULL motion towards manifesting the best life for myself as a financially independent woman. I am still surprised how daily prospects and opportunities for money are coming my way, like a magnet! I FEEL like I am a different person. I love myself! I have never been able to truthfully say that before.

I am now a graduate, a true warrior of the program and I am ready to powerfully create what I want to manifest in my life. If you are considering taking the program, do it! INVEST in your future, it was the best I could have done for myself. I am proud of myself. Much gratitude to Cherlyn.

From desperate to unapologetic!

When I first came to CHERYLNS program, I was stuck in a toxic cycle with a sociopathic person and I defined my worth through sex, and put my happiness into the hands of others. I had a lot of trauma growing up and repeated abusive relationships- of which I chose to be in due to my patterns and beliefs.
Deep down I hated myself. I was angry not only at the men who wronged me, but mostly at myself for letting it happen and I couldn’t find my way out. I was using substances to cope and really on the verge of royally screwing up my life.
CHERYLNS program was action based. I was ready to do the work. & she knew exactly how to help me. The EFT and deep trauma work that we did allowed me to go back in time and save my inner child in those horrific times. Absolutely it was intense but SO necessary to my healing and growth. Cheryln was patient with me, and so loving; she allowed me the safest space to reconnect with myself and become whole again. Her weekly written modules were so informative and eye opening. The combination of everything truly and I mean TRULY changed my life. I went to therapists all throughout my life with little effect. I would just talk for hours about the same issues but never got to the root. I still had a victim mindset, and just needed to unload all my crap onto someone else. This was different. Cheryln got to the root of my core and helped me to reframe the beliefs I had. She knew I didn’t have anymore time to waste. It was time to rip the bandaid. This all eventually led me to start changing my behavior and now I can be PROUD of the decisions I make.
Today, I am not that desperate girl. Though it took extreme pain finding out my ex was seeing another girl at the same time- confirming everything my gut told me- I was able to get through it with the help of this program. I don’t know if I could have otherwise.
I am now confident, empowered and so focused on my goals. I recoil from anything that doesn’t sit right with my soul and am protective of my energy. I spot red flags from a mile away and this time - I don’t ignore them. I walk away immediately. No second chances. F that! I have not slept with any guy for almost 2 months, and I plan on continuing this man ban until further notice. I am the happiest I have been in over 10 years. And this happiness is not contingent on a man. It is genuine happiness with who I am becoming.
I have peace today. I am free today.
I learned that in order to truly become a new version of you- we have to let go of our old selves completely. Everything I do today affects future me and I won’t abandon myself again. I can’t say enough about this program. It was worth every single penny and then some. We just have to believe WE are worth it. Thank you Cheryln for your wisdom, your leadership and for always keeping it real.

Found myself again

Hello lovely ladies. After 4 years in this group I think I’ve finally found myself again! I couldn’t seem to get past the trauma caused by my 20 year relationship with an abusive ex, so I invested in myself and joined the GOH program.

I learned so many techniques to challenge my thought process and quiet my anxiety. Now I’m feeling strong, happy, and peaceful for the first time in a long time.

Thank you to Cherlyn Chong Kelly for sticking with me on this journey. She dug through several layers of “stuff” with me. Now I have the tools I need to build my best life. And I’m looking forward to every minute 💕

October 22

October 22, 2021 was my last session of GOH program with Cherlyn. I wanted to post this message right away but I opted to take a little more time. I have finished the program already and how you say I don't need you anymore has brought me much of tears of joy and a never ending appreciation for changing my life. For changing who I am. GOH program is really more than getting over my ex.

I know I have already mentioned it to you, but I would like to share it here in case there are other ladies who are also thinking of getting into this program or who are still in the process - THIS IS THE BEST DECISION I HAVE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE. You have my sincerest gratitude for choosing me as one of your clients.

Thank you Cherlyn for bringing out the best in me. For healing my past traumas. I would never really forget you. I wish I have met you earlier! Nevertheless, I am very happy of who I am today and that the clarity on what I want and what I can do is so strong now that I could no longer imagine what would I be if not because of you and the Reverse Recovery and GOH program. I am no longer the woman who posted here back on August 07 (that screenshot of me crying while I was talking to my ex, trying to fix things with him but he refused).

From a #redfawn to a Maan who have already climbed 10 mountains, crossed 5 rivers, dived into 4 water falls, had fun at the beach, lost 22lbs (see my Oct 22) and most of all you were able to give me the conviction to progress further in my career (yeah with that 40% increase!) and now I'm also very happy with the way I spend more time with daughter - I followed all your advice.

Yesterday, I have already reactivated my Anytime Fitness membership and visited my dentist too. I like now how I take care of my self not for a man but for myself. I look forward to talking to you again soon in the Get Him program. ❤️🙏

And for all the ladies here, thank you for being part of this journey. I'll stay in case there will be posts where I can be of help or I can share more of my journey too.

Lots of love,

Maan ❤️

Life changing!

About 15 months ago, my ex told me he didn't see a future with me any more. This was a guy who was obsessed with the idea of a future with me. I was devastated. I had invested too much. I couldn't imagine a life without him. I was then stuck in an endless cycle of back and forth. I was on a mission to make him fall in love with me again. During the year, I tried so hard to please him, to make him love me the same, I completely lost myself in the process.

I was in a very dark place when I contacted Cherlyn. I had tried everything to let go of him, from therapy to self help books to podcasts but nothing worked and I kept going back to him. GOH program really helped me turn my life around. Cherlyn helped me see my worth, she helped me realise I deserved better. Cherlyn has all the right skills, ingredients and strategies to heal you. What I love about her is that she is all about action.

Cherlyn taught me some great techniques to overcome my past traumas and helped me with core identity healing. The best part about Cherlyn is that she's genuinely dedicated to make you get over your ex. She puts in a lot of effort for every session and tailors every session according to your needs. She also keeps checking in on you during sessions and would be there for you if you were ever having a melt down. She's an exceptional listener.

Whilst I am certainly not ready to date any time soon, I can say that the Get Over Him program helped me love myself and my life again. It has helped me view life differently and has helped me rebuild myself❤

Cherlyn Chong's Steps to Happyness

Cherlyn's "Steps to Happyness" program is life changing. Her knowledge and quick understanding of the root causes of the problems are impressive. Her techniques helped me to move past the trauma that was keeping me stuck in unhealthy relationships faster and more effectively than any other therapist I have seen in the past 15 years. I wish every counselor or therapist would learn from her so that more people could get "unstuck" because it would change the world!

Invest in yourself

I found Steps to Happyness nearly 2 years post a fairly traumatic relationship and separation. I found that after countless hours of "standard" therapy sessions I was feeling my healing had slowed and I was sick of talking everything to health. This program got straight to some deep underlying issues that I had never even discussed. I felt empowered, positive and excited to complete the course work and the 1:1 sessions with Cherlyn were so much better than I expected - she just got it and she got me! Doing the course when I was out of the acute grief period was interesting as I read the first few weeks of coursework I just though 'wow that's exactly how I felt when the relationship ended". I wish I had found the course earlier but it has helped me so much I can honestly say its never too late to do it! If you are thinking about it do it. Invest in yourself and your future.

Amazing Experience with GOH Program

I want to share my amazing experience with Cherlyn in the GOH Program. I had my heart broken by the man I thought I was going to marry. I was feeling constant anxiety and was tired of hearing people say time heals all wounds. I know time alone wouldn’t fix how I was feeling and I wasn’t willing to sit around and wait, so I decided I needed to reach out to Cherlyn.

I was drawn into Cherlyn’s personality and approach. She reads people really well and is so genuinely positive, knowledgeable, and bonus - she is hilarious. She was available when I reached out to her for some of my most difficult times and I’ve never had that from a coach before.

Working with her was so personalized to fit my needs. We even went as far as helping me kick some bad habits completely unrelated to men.

I feel so in my power now. I am open and excited about what is next for me in life. I’m not afraid of dating or the next man hurting me. People in my life have noticed the shift too since they have said how much I’m glowing.

If you are on the fence about the program, trust me when I say that she is an expert in what she does. Cherlyn can help you see what you can’t see. There is never a better investment that you can make than on yourself. What wouldn’t you pay for your own healing and peace of mind?

It’s not just about getting over one man, it’s about choosing YOU each and every day. I promise you will heal all of the trauma that didn’t allow you to put yourself first. Ladies, choose you ❤️
