What Clients Are Saying

 

"I don't think back very often on my life before the therapy, its too painful. Things are wonderful now, different from before in ways both subtle and obvious. I'm fully alive, living in the present. Life is generally very enjoyable, and when things get sticky I am able to cope in a quick, strong way. I feel extraordinarily blessed to be happy, healthy and free. I'm getting back into shape, making leaps and bounds in my personal and work life and looking forward to the future with an optimism that seems to outstrip that of those I used to call "healthy normals". Of which I am now, essentially, one". SN Quebec

"Things have been going great....I don't even feel like the person that felt so ill just a few years ago. I used to listen to a voice that was always saying I’m not good enough and comparing myself to others. If that voice manages to creep in now, I laugh at it and move on. I've really stepped up my guitar study and have begun writing songs that I hope to record. Also, I've begun painting/drawing on a serious level and am hoping to get a career going as a fine artist. I'm definitely a more open, honest, assertive person and I'm feeling well and able to do anything." MM Chicago

"David was a compassionate, wise, highly skilled and profoundly supportive guide through my process of healing. I deeply value who he is, and I believe that it was the relationship he invited me into, above all, which allowed me to trust the process, give over to it, and move quite miraculously from illness to health. It took just four sessions - and this by telephone! - for me to be free of the constancy of CFS symptoms and to have mastered the process he taught me should symptoms arise now and then." MB Psychotherapist California

"The process gave me an awareness of myself, my feelings and the way that I react to situations and the world around me. I was able to listen to what my body was telling me instead of using my head all the time. As a result, I have been able to lead a much fuller and healthier life. Friends have noticed a huge difference in my health and what I am now able to do – it is always good when other people can see a big change. All of my symptoms have reduced, my head is much clearer, I am better able to deal with stressful events, I sleep better, I have more energy, I make better life decisions and I am a much nicer person to be around! I know that I can feel even better, and for that I need to continue with the process. It is very easy when you start to feel better to forget what got you there and to stop using the process." LM PhD New Zealand

"It was amazing and we both got better very quickly. We are both happier and healthier than even before we got CFS. We feel a bit like we have been let out of prison and are really enjoying even the simple things in life. Everything is still really amazing and emotional. We were so impressed by it we both trained as therapists. It will be so rewarding to help others get their lives back too." B&M UK

"I like the way that this gives me a new way of seeing some of my old issues, and assists me in recognizing the points where I can make different choices than the ones I have habitually made. It has provided me with powerful tools to use in the areas that used to be my blind spots and better supports my needs." GK Victoria

"I feel like I’m whole again. Everything used to be so negative, I had forgotten what it felt like to not hurt. Now I have so much energy that sometimes I don’t know what to do with it all" MM Victoria BC

"Mindfulness-Based therapy made a huge difference very quickly" JN Victoria BC

"David has shown me how to recognize when I am being disempowered and to act right away to change the situation. This new skill has enabled me to strengthen my body and regain power and energy. By reacting immediately in situations that don't serve me, I re-energize. It also gives me confirmation about my choices and decisions to always honour my body. Keeping quiet or not acting has the reverse effect and I lose energy very quickly sometimes taking days to recover." GS Victoria

"I see a big difference. I still have some symptoms but my life has improved for the better in most ways once I discovered what it was that I had to do in regard to reshaping the priorities that I had. With I.B.S. it was difficult to uncover what emotions were involved but once acted on, the benefits were obvious." SB Victoria

"It has involved me in a challenging but very worthwhile process. I have more energy and fewer periods of brain fog and flu-like symptoms. David is a skilled and compassionate guide for the process" BT Psychotherapist Victoria BC

"After only 3 months, I can for the most part control the onset of symptoms. I can definitely live a different life than before I began the process - one that resembles the life I had back in the 80’s" PM Victoria BC

"I am more assertive, more confident and more understanding. I don’t get bothered now in the same way with uncomfortable situations." LE USA

What Colleagues Are Saying

"I have enjoyed witnessing David's recovery - he is putting his reclaimed energy toward establishing a treatment practice in town. It seems such a useful process to me that I wonder if it might be applicable to other areas as well as CFS and Fibromyalgia (e.g. depression and anxiety disorders).
