About Dr. Lawrence:
Dr. Gary Lawrence and his wife Sylvia have spent their lives successfully leading others to “identify, isolate, and eliminate” the root cause of the emotional turmoil in their lives. Over the course of 23 years serving as the founder and director of the New Life Dynamics Christian Counseling Center and 20 years as the host of his own radio show, Life Mastery Counseling with Dr. G, he has personally met with and coached more than 6 thousand clients, has overseen the counseling of another 10,000 clients, and has inspired thousands more on radio, television, and stage.
After retiring, Dr. G took the opportunity to refocus on the timeless principles of his bestselling book, Rejection Junkies. In this guide to recognizing the damaging effects of rejection and the way in which this trauma manifests constantly throughout all phases of life, Dr. G helps readers to recognize the people, places, things, and circumstances that hold us hostage, keep us stuck, and make us bitter. A true freedom coach, he offers powerful and practical steps to unplug from these emotional energy thieves!
Married for 55 years, Dr. G and Sylvia continue to bring their knowledge, experience, and deep passion to individuals and couples who wish to resolve personal, marital, family, and parenting conflicts.
“You are unconsciously hooked on creating and recreating the rejection of the past.”– Dr. G
