An easy-to-understand, integrated model of recovery from depression, addiction, codependency, C-PTSD, Adult/Child Syndrome, and other manifestations of the emotional wounds of abandonment, shame, and contempt.


The use of Journal Questions in each of the 13 modules of the online course, helps to integrate and apply the concepts in the user's own unique process and experience. Includes the E-Book, Online Course, and optional counseling or coaching by the author. Click the button below to learn more.

Includes E-Book, Online Course, and Optional Counseling or Coaching

Thaw - Freedom from Frozen Feelings is the "flagship" release in Don's Thawing the Iceberg Series (Oct 2011). All of the six E-Books in the series comes with lifetime membership to the online course version at Serenity Cafe Academy. Also, optional counseling and coaching services with the author are available.

Just as it is with this course, several of the courses in the Serenity Cafe Academy are designed for use with or without a journal. Taking time to go through this course, and answering all of the suggested journal questions will be a great primer as you go into specific areas for recovery.

Don Carter MSW, LCSW

Therapist, Author, & Recovery Coach

The middle of seven children, Don grew up on a farm with hard-working parents who had their own issues from childhood. The farm work led to a scholarship to play football at the University of Missouri at Columbia in 1977-79. He followed that with a brief stint with the New Orleans Saints in 1980. That experience was cut short by a developing problem with alcohol and drugs. 


A series of childhood tragedies, depression, anxiety, and bouts with addictions led him to an inpatient treatment program in 1986. Don found treatment and recovery such a profoundly gratifying experience that he returned to school, finished two degrees, became a licensed therapist, and for the past 35 years has dedicated himself to helping others find their way out too.

Working with Ego-States and Parts-of-Self

Course from Serenity Café Academy

Total Value: $37.00

The three primary Ego-States of TA are the Parent Ego-State, The Adult Ego-State, and the Child Ego-State. Ego-state therapy and Gestalt therapy paved the way for many other "Parts-Oriented" therapies including Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy and Parts Integration Therapies.  Interestingly, secular and spiritual models of personality agree on the basic structure:

  • Freud: Id, Ego, Superego (Psychoanalytic)
  • Berne: Child, Adult, Parent (Transactional Analysis)
  • Spiritual (Generic): Body, Mind, Spirit (IFS, NLP, etc)
  • Spiritual (Biblical): Flesh, Mind, Spirit (God's Word)

Loosen Limiting Beliefs and Mental Filters

Course from Serenity Café Academy

Total Value: $37.00

In this course, we select a target core belief for change. This may be a belief held by a wounded inner child part of the self, an outer child protector or manager of that wounded inner child, or any other thought-feeling-behavior pattern that causes problems in your life. A core belief consists of a system of beliefs, memories, and mental filters through which we see others, ourselves, and life in general. Most of these beliefs must be "loosened" before we can let them go. This course helps us do that.

But The REAL Value is Determined by You and Your Level of Commitment. It will be Worthless if You Don't Do the Work, Priceless if You Do!

Is Counseling/Coaching Right For You?

I can offer the tools and I can join you on the journey, but YOU have the hard part! YOU have to take the steps, complete the work, and follow the path(s). While this does NOT require perfection it does call for commitment and discipline. You need to ask yourself how badly you want it.

My Availability

There is only one of me and my availability ebbs and flows. There may be a lag in taking on new clients from time to time. If you see the options to enroll in counseling or coaching below, it means I am currently taking new clients. The option to sign up for the courses will always be available.

Notice and Recommendations

Although they can enhance professional help, these courses are not meant to replace professional evaluation and therapy. If you don't get that with me as your counselor or don't already have a counselor, please reach out to someone for evaluation and recommendations.

CRISIS INFORMATION: If you are feeling like hurting yourself, having an emotional crisis, or even thinking of suicide STOP and go to a local emergency room or call a local law enforcement agency. Click Below for resources to find help in the USA: 

Local Suicide Hotline Information

Final Notes

If you already have experience or training in counseling and you feel competent to take the course without counseling or coaching, feel free to do that. You can ask questions at the live webinars and events. You can also message me and text me with questions from the portal.

Doing these activities alone has its place and benefits. However, doing them with an accountability partner or group is even better! Invite a close, safe, like-minded friend or friends to join with you. Let me know when someone you invite takes you up on it and I will give them a 50% off coupon to join you.

If your partner is your therapist or coach, I will enroll them for free under your name. Once on board in my client portal, message me. I will get them enrolled under your name.

Refund Policy: If you are not completely satisfied with these resources or a specific coaching or counseling session, I will refund 100% of your money for the course or that specific session. No questions asked.
