Testimonials

“I have always been an overachiever. I thrived on praise and would work simply for it. I had everything going for me. I was young, attractive, educated and was surrounded by wonderful supportive people. I knew I was lucky and should be happy, except I wasn’t. I felt inadequate, disconnected, lonely, I was sad. The more I tried to talk myself out of it the further away I felt from my life. I began to not be able to leave the house, because I could not face the world. I felt unbearably open and vulnerable and could not protect my heart and mind. I knew I needed to find help and after months of agonizing over the fact that I may just be feeling sorry for myself, I went to the doctor.

When I started taking the antidepressants, my world did get better. I was physically unable to feel sad. I knew it was not good to completely lose the ability to feel sadness, but I was terrified of slipping back. After 8 months of taking a pill every day I did not feel good anymore. I was sleeping a lot and crying often and traits from the past started to reoccur. I damaged and even ruined valuable relationships because of my inability to cope with daily life.

That’s when I called Jonathan Caflisch. I knew Jonathan from when I was younger. I knew he was a counselor that worked with personal energy and I knew he could help me.

After the first session I stopped taking my pills. I did not realize the extent to which my body had gotten used to a daily medication, and was shocked at how long I felt withdrawals. I continued to see Jonathan and after three weeks of dizziness and waves of disconnection I was done with the pills. My progress with Jonathan was fast and wonderful. I began to see life as this beautiful, exciting journey instead of a pointless chore that must be dealt with. After 4 weeks of sessions with Jonathan, he said I was out of my depression. He was right, I had never felt better and knew that I possessed the tools to keep myself happy. I would undoubtedly feel sad at times in my life, but I was allowed to express these feelings and continue to live life. When I left on my last day I turned to Jonathan and thanked him for helping me help myself. I had been in a place, which was headed for disaster, and now I am ready to journey through my life!”
