how does this work, and will it work for me?


We have all had the experience of waking up on the wrong side of the bed...and our thoughts beginning with "this is going to be a lousy day". Then, miraculously, a phone call, a visit, an email, a postcard or a check arrives, and our entire day changes for the better. This is the experience of emotional freedom, the release from the heaviness our day began with, and the negative emotions looming over us.

Growth by Design provides tools to "tap in" to our God-given potential. Methods that immediately turn a day around in a few moments; clearing negative emotions as quickly as they show up. If you could immediately give yourself exactly what you need, in any given moment, would you consider it a powerful resource? We serve you with techniques designed to do just that.


One of the tools I use is a technique called EFT, or Emotional Freedom Techniques. Please click on the link below to see short video of the process. The video is less than 7 minutes long and gives a very good overview of EFT.

How it Works - from Don's Clients:

After being widowed and moving to a state where I knew no one, I had rebuilt a good life with no major problems. By chance, I attended a group session conducted by Don Milton. When instructed to focus on a big problem, I chose to focus on the agony and despair I felt every time I though of the day Jack died. What did I have to lose? Don listens. He has had me do exercises that dramatically showed me problems I was not consciously aware of. Then we addressed the problems. We continued investigating and discovering what I really want in my future. I've overcome several problems; I feel better; and my very good life is even better. To the venture I brought an open mind, a willingness to try, honesty, and total openness. To the venture, Don brought years of experience and knowledge, sensitivity, active listening, and compassion. I thank Don for what he has helped me with and for teaching me the skills to continue to improve my life. Life is great.
~ Bonnie

We worked mostly by phone and some in-person. He taught me how to use basic energy psychology techniques for myself. I continue to use those on a regular basis today, and it makes a big difference in my life. Don made if clear, from the beginning, that his role was to be a facilitator and that my healing would come through God/Spirit as I incorporated right thoughts, words, and actions in my new life. This has proven to be very accurate, and I continue to become stronger in every area of my life. I am no longer driven by compulsions and emotional triggers, and I feel like I have a control of my life that has never existed with me before. I am still re-building my self, both physically and financially. The main difference in my life now is that I continue to gain more peace, love, and joy - regardless of what is happening on the outside. This is not to say that I don't still experience occasional unpleasant emotions and upsets; however, these states just don't last very long or have the hold on me that they did in the past. ~ Peggy

Prior to doing any work with Don Milton, I had spent over $210,000 for myself and my family in the traditional behavioral healthcare system with very marginal results.  I spent $5000 with Don about one year ago going through his 12-week transformational coaching program and got tremendous value and some major improvements in my health and life.  Don is as good at what he does as anyone that I have worked with in this arena and better than most.  I became a Christian in 1989 and even though Don works and lives from a very solid spiritual basis, I had some initial concern about doing deep emotional work with someone who did not label themself as a Christian.  After several weeks of praying about this and having some open and direct discussions about my concerns with Don, I felt comfortable to engage with him.  I was still a bit cautious in the beginning and after a few sessions and getting to know Don better, all my concerns vanished and I found that by doing his program that I was able to understand the Bible and my Christian faith in a deeper way than ever before.  I learned that his approach is non-denominational and only further empowers whatever belief system you may have if that system is solid and based on truth.
First of all, he knows it is not about him or his skills but about the client and what results are obtained through the work.  He listens in order to understand and not to impress anyone.
Secondly, he addresses the root problems early on and does not get caught up in symptom management.  He goes for permanent resolution of the core problems and not just temporary relief.  He often says " Don't look for relief, look for the Truth ".
And lastly, he has a process of treatment which incorporates a variety of modalities that deliver results effectively and quickly and with very minimal pain and suffering along the way to healing.  
I have definitely experienced transformation in my life as a result of knowing and working with Don and would highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about optimal living and healing all areas of your life. ~ John

There is change, and there is transformation. In working with Don, I experienced a true transformation from a life filled with pain, to discovering my passion.

Reprogram your beliefs, heal your life.

Did you know that the beliefs that you currently hold about yourself and life in general could be affecting you in negative ways? Did you know that these beliefs can be so deeply embedded that many times we aren't even aware that we have them? In fact most of them have been developed as a result of our experiences in life. Experiences that leave imprints so deep in our core that they affect everything from the way we view and interact in relationships of all kinds to the way we choose to live our own lives and feel about ourselves.
Someone wise once said, 90% of life is just showing up. So just show up, leaving all your excuses about why you don't deserve happiness at home, be open to this healing, and be astounded by the results. After all, we all deserve to live well, laugh often and love with all of our heart. Wishing you heartfelt blessings for your journey. ~ Tina
