Becoming Well started with a personal journey
“Matt and Laura are compassionate, patient, funny, and full of grace- all the while holding us accountable for the work in recovery. They are a great team and with personal experience in all aspects of their teaching. We are looking forward to their guidance and direction as we continue to lean into recovery.”
“Our experience as a couple working with Matt and Laura Burton has been nothing short of miraculous. After 41 years of marriage and no idea that IA was a real thing or was what we were struggling with, we were at the end of our marriage with no options in sight. After being referred to Matt just 3 months ago we are in a much better relationship than we ever imagined was possible. We have a long road ahead, but are dedicated to recovery.”
“When I discovered that my husband had an addiction to pornography and sexual acting-out the first person that I reached out to was Matt Burton. Matt counselled me and helped me to understand the addiction and the trauma causing this addiction. He also guided me through organizing an intervention with my husband to help him find the resources that he needed to begin his healing process. I have a great deal of respect for Matt and his knowledge.”

“The intensive made biggest impact I’ll probably ever have in healing my relationship and myself.”

“Receiving all of this incredible information helped us learn and gather the tools necessary for our healing in only three days as opposed to many months of weekly or bi-weekly sessions.”

“My experience with Matt has been life changing. It is good to have found a Recovery Coach who can identify with precision my struggles with IA/SA because he has lived them and has been successfully in recovery for many years. He encourages me when I need encouragement and pushes me hard when needed as well. He understands my occasional difficulty in implementing and using certain recovery tools and always seems to have an alternative tool when one isn’t getting desired results.”

- Dennis

“Matt is engaging and has a positive outlook on life regardless of the past. He is honest, knowledgeable and compassionate. He separates actions from the person. He can firmly hold me accountable while affirming me as a person. He doesn’t ask me to do something that he has not already done.”

- Jeff

“​I am so grateful that Laura was there for me when I needed her. She has been a constant source of encouragement as I move through the grieving process, while I simultaneously learn to cope with the realities of life with a sex addict.”

- Leslie

“My experience with Laura Burton as the spouse of an IA/SA has been remarkable. 3 months ago she met me as an angry, wounded and resigned partner, not even sure I wanted to try again. I learned quickly that for true recovery it takes the work of both partners. Laura has worked with me through issues personal to me with knowledge, honesty and compassion. She has been through all that I’m working on and that is very relevant and comforting. I feel free to contact her out of session via text and she responds quickly with understanding and kindness.”

“The Unbound Man provides the breakthrough answer to the problems millions of men who struggle with trauma face today. The world encourages broken traumatized men to “man up:” to bury their brokenness and not confront or deal with the root causes of their issues. Questions like: “How did I end up this way?” and “How can I break the shackles of the traumatic experiences in my past and heal myself?” are answered in The Unbound Man. The stories are real, and the solutions heal. The author tells his story in raw, authentic, and direct manner which will encourage traumatized men to come out from hiding and get on the path to recovery. The Unbound Man is truly a breakthrough work that will heal millions. I highly recommend it!”

- David Cole, Retired CEO of Outerwall (Coinstar/Redbox)

“In our world today there are many trauma victims that are in desperate need of hope and don’t know where to turn. Their life has lost direction and purpose. Matt Burton was one of those persons, but he found both hope and healing with a level of determination and conviction that is unmatched. The Unbound Man is a courageous story of traumatic lifetime experiences, but it also describes an approach and roadmap to both hope and healing for men where they can find renewed purpose and meaning in their lives.”
