 Very insightful, disturbing, stirring, enriching and healing yesterday. Thanks very much Matthew. Always a pleasure to see your generosity  and acute sensitivity (understatement) of expression in helping us  to see  where we can help ourselves with our pain and distress. What a difference a day makes.

Simon.

The utterly unique experience of working with Matthew has permeated every part of my life. The changes for the better are profound, long lasting and beyond anything that I could have imagined.

April 2015

I had suffered from a phobia of flying for 15years of my adult life but in the middle of a recent 10 hour flight having done a four and a half hour flight the day before I was reminded of just what an impact that Matthew Meinck has had on my life. Because after 15 years my phobias had taken over my life until I started to work with Matthew to heal my traumas.
During that flight not only did I realise that I was enjoying the experience but I had also learnt to care for my health and every other aspect of my life in order to make that journey possible.

Thanks to Matthew Meinck : My digestion, skin texture, muscle tone and general fitness have all improved dramatically.... I felt at odds with my body for about forty years before I came to this understanding.

7/1/15

I know for most people obtaining good health is pretty obvious, eat well, rest, drink water, exercise, meditate they are all just ways of responding to the body’s needs but for the best part of my life I somehow managed to overlook these things and the profound impact that they can have. I had the desire to have optimum health but I just couldn’t follow through, I thought it was a matter of will and that I just had to try harder.

I had limited sensitivity to my subtle and not so subtle physical states but over time that changed.
The sensitivity I have now has been born out of having daily contact with myself (the body) in meditation. So really weather I like it or not I can feel exactly what is going on in the body and the response is often quite intuitive and automatic with very little thought involved.

My digestion, skin texture, muscle tone and general fitness have all improved dramatically.
I wanted to share this because I felt at odds with my body for about forty years before I came to this understanding. The understanding didn’t come from the place that I thought it would. I wasn’t meditating in order to understand my physical health in this way. In my ignorance I thought that meditation would just help me think clearly about my health and that would help me carry out a plan and that plan would probably be devised by another person (health practitioner).
If someone told me that meditating would improve my digestion I would just think oh yeh that would be nice and think that any result that might occur would be a subtle one. How wrong could I have been, my digestive system is me and I can’t not know what is going on with it.
It is a marvel to me every day that from the moment I get up in the morning to the moment I fall asleep at night I am intuitively responding to all that my body needs. It’s just what a living thing does when there is no interference.

It is no small gift that I have been given and one that no other person will ever know the full depth of what I am expressing because I am the only one that can feel it. Words just don’t cut it.
It would be nice to think though that for anyone who reads this and is in need of healing that the part of them that desires healing like I did will hear what I have expressed and it will spark a new interest in them to follow their own way to health.

It is not something that you can give to someone but the people who nurtured that spark in me are Kate and Matthew Meinck. Likewise it isn’t something I can give to them in return nor do they need it as they have their own intelligence but I do hope that it will shine a light on the nature and intent of the people that I call my friends.

Matthew Meinck's work is completely effective and naturally holistic in a real and honest way

Matthew’s tireless presence to respond 24 hours day and night for 14 days in June has changed my life in all ways I have experienced directly for the first time.
The healing that I have received and that is ongoing is indescribable – true health care again from Matthew Meinck at its best that is second to none.  Words cannot really convey that somehow from persevering to be still in my inner world of reactionary turmoil has now given me a second wind and a second chance in life to give.
I am waking up in the mornings with a physical sense of what it is to be me and meet the outside world with that very natural intelligent feeling.
After a jammed packed life of torment and escapism from pain I can now at last with much gratitude to Matthew’s work –go at my own pace with what I am and how I am. At times that is painful but then that is how I am healing and enriching my life in all areas of life. 
A number of health carers (excluding Matthew) in all areas of the industry were not able to get me to go to the guts of the problem to heal the guts of the problem. Matthew’s work is completely effective and naturally holistic in a real and honest way.
 And did I say that it is because of Matthew’s extraordinary work this has been made possible.

I have just returned from a two week meditation retreat with Matthew Meinck

'I have just returned from a two week meditation retreat with Matthew Meinck.
I am in my thirteenth year of going on retreats.
The clarity and understanding that Matthew has, has evolved incredibly over that time.
His insight and sensitivity is spot on each and every time.
With new people, Matthew gets straight to the cause of their complaint, unlike counselling which in my experience hangs on to the problem.
For me, through his hard work I have nearly resolved the last of my issues ingrained in me from childhood.
I am now able to fully live life from the strength of the person I really am.
I will continue to go on retreats to maintain my own clarity and understanding of myself and life around me.
Thank you once again, and a million times over Matthew'

Matthew Meinck was the only person who could reach me


Shut down, powerless, hiding form myself, hiding from everyone, there wasn't enough of me present to engage in life. I felt withdrawn, like looking out of a window watching everything going on around me but I felt stuck, disconnected.
Unable to express the agony and confusion of what it felt like to be me but couldn't understand why I felt so horrible and shut down.

Matthew Meinck, was the only person who could reach me, hiding inside too afraid to be seen or heard. Through our interactions, this terrified part began to feel safe to express like never before.

With his unique understanding, no textbook jargon, just gutsy real interaction with true sensitivity , I could feel the truth being uncovered from this hidden me.

Being sexually abused as a small child, the trauma is unbearable, no words, no concept of what it means, but the sense of it remains in the body, locked in. The pattern is set, the abuse continued throughout my life. This part of me was hidden, a secret life, born of this kind of pain.

Coming back to life has been painful, facing up to the trauma, the horrible feelings and disease in me.

Matthew goes so far beyond the limited concept we have been taught to believe is “healing” in the medical world. I avoided surgery having healed a condition called “endometriosis” which  debilitated me for most of my adult life, by taking real care of myself, healing naturally!

If Matthew had not been so brutally cut down by the lies and media propaganda, a hell of a lot more people could have had the opportunity to truly heal, as I am.

This could not have been possible without the tireless and unending support of Matthew Meinck


Ending the cycle of abuse has been the single most difficult thing I have done in my life. This could not have been possible without the tireless and unending support of Matthew Meinck. This period of transformation occurred for me during a time when Matthew was subjected to gross media vilification and malicious personal attacks on him. Without his brave resilience to these attacks, I would not have had the ability or the inspiration to make the dramatic changes in my life that I have.

Being subjected to extreme physical, psychological and sexual abuse is something a child should never experience. My experience of being abused as a child caused a disassociation within me from the pain and trauma that the abuse causes. The disassociation is necessary for survival, living in an environment where those that are meant to be the caregivers are actually the abusers. I became numb to this part of my life and it was as if it didn’t even exist. I didn’t have the ability or the capacity to take on the abuse – no child does!

Growing into physical adulthood the abuse continued. Being numb to this aspect of my life, I had little awareness of how vulnerable I was to continually being abused and also to abusing others. Being disassociated from and numb to the pain and trauma of abuse is what allowed me to abuse others – you have to be divided within yourself to be able to do this.

The only way this cycle of abuse was able to come to an end was for the division within me to become integrated so that I could live as a whole person – for the first time in my life as an adult. I had to relive and experience the extreme disturbance and the pain and trauma of abuse, something I had disassociated with, to become whole again. I believe that this would not have been possible without the unending support given to me by Matthew. His support was determined and consistent even when faced with his own personal challenges of being attacked by a misinformed media and public.

It is thanks to Matthew that I can now live a life free of this world of abuse. Something I am eternally grateful for. My only wish is that people would wake up to how important people like Matthew are in the world and support them rather than allow them to be attacked.

I am forever indebted to Matthew (Meinck), as he saved my life.

I am forever indebted to Matthew (Meinck), as he saved my life.
I was consumed with depression all my life.
The core feeling of worthlessness never left me, and affected my whole life.
I had attempted to take my life three times, and was endlessly planning the next attempt to escape the pain of myself and my inability to cope with the world around me.
With Matthew's help through massage and counselling my depression has been resolved.
Now i have an understanding that comes as a feeling from within my self, not just a recognition in my thinking.
When the overwhelming urgency comes to kill myself now, i know it is just a sensation leaving my body which was the feeling i was left with, after each time i was abused as a child.
After every time i was abused, that feeling of wanting to kill myself, as well as the physical and emotional trauma, was trapped in my body.
Matthew has not only stopped the pattern of being sexually abused, he has opened the flood gates for all the trapped trauma to be released and healed.
Therefore giving me a life, and a life worth living.

I owe Matthew so much, thank you with all my heart.

Thanks to Matthew (Meinck) my time and my home is now my own

I live in a feeling of being nothing therefore having nothing to offer.
I did want to try to express the recent feeling deep in me of knowing I no longer make myself available to be used day and night.

'Being switched off and numb since my first abuse at 6 months, it took Matthew (Meinck) 10 years of constant hard work and support to allow me to finally start to thaw.
And I still need his continuing interaction to help me see when I'm trapped in my victims thinking.
I can't begin to describe to you the feeling of not being an unpaid whore in my own home anymore, where whenever I was at home and I never knew when and whom was going to turn up and demand what. The constant anxiety and pressure I lived under in my own home as well as the panic if I wanted to do something for myself or away from the house. The persistent feeling of always having to be prepared and ready was terrifying.
Thanks to Matthew (Meinck) my time and my home is now my own.
The feelings of anxiety and panic are still there as habit but with far less intensity and frequency.
The knowing and the relief deep within me that the action doesn't happen anymore is worth more than I can express.....'

There is nothing that I felt through that process that Matthew (Meinck) didn’t feel along with me


What is it like to live a life of fear? To feel you have to try to control everything and everyone in your life.
The emotional psychological physical and sexual abuse I suffered as a child led me try to (in a child’s way you try) to control my world. Trying not to step on cracks in the ground or holding my breath in between them was the first thing I recognised as the start of the control. My world was completely out of control my father's rage would flare up at any moment give whatever he believed at the time to be a just reason and as a child I thought I was the reason.
As an adult I lived my life still holding my breath and it wasn't until this week I have realised to what extent that was happening. 
I have only been able to realise this because it is finally breaking down.
To be able to live my life free of this is something I don’t feel words could ever do justice to.
And when I say free I mean in every sense of the word. A freedom from fear a freedom from self-disgust a freedom from feeling as survivors of sexual abuse do that I had to pay a price a penance because after all it was all my fault right. 
In this harsh and violent world I found a way to heal, someone to guide me someone brave enough to take that ride with me. There is nothing that I felt through that process that Matthew (Meinck) didn’t feel along with me he laid his health on the line simply because he could see the need I had and that he could heal that need. The things I have read in the media contrary to this disgust me and the only thing that really concerns me in life now is that the utterly unique way that Matthew (Meinck) has of encouraging healing in a person will continue to be miss represented and will be lost to the people who need it most. 
He has nurtured my health and now I am in position to nurture his and that is what I intend to do.

(Re: Matthew Meinck) Other people may help you to heal the surface, but I know of no-one else capable of reaching the darkest places and bringing them to the surface that they may integrate and rejoin life


I get overwhelmed when i try to express why Matthew is so important to me. one day i will be able to express it clearly for other people to understand. it is a feeling that is very very deep inside, he has made it possible for me to live, he has spoken to the parts of me that were deeply hidden, the parts that i thought were completely abhorrent  and unacceptable, he was firstly able to reach them and i don’t think it is an exaggeration to say no-one else had the capacity to even know they existed inside me let alone to speak to and reach these parts. you don’t understand what it is to be raped to within an inch of your life, what that does to you, how it destroys your capacity to live, that part of you that was there would never really be healed, well Matthew has facilitated the impossible, and in this way he literally brought me back to life. What i am trying to express is that other people may help you to heal the surface, but i know of no- one else capable of reaching the darkest places and bringing them to the surface that they may integrate and rejoin life. It is this part of me that is ferociously grateful to Matthew, probably because this part of me is a little ferocious in general. it is gutsy and raw, it has been to the limit and returned.

Matthew (Meinck) is the only person who has ever looked closely enough to see that this incredible pain and hurt was (is) hiding inside of me, and who has taken the time to help me start to heal.


I don’t know how many people go through life feeling like they belong, that they’re acceptable, lovable, worthy, ‘ok’. I’m 38 years old, ‘successful’ by society’s standards, you could say. But I have only experienced these feelings for short periods of time, and then only in the past 18 months or so, after almost 9 years of constant and dedicated healing. 
The majority of the time, deep inside, in the place I hide from the world, I don’t feel worthy of much at all. In fact I feel like I have to make up for myself somehow, that I am so bad, I need to compensate just for being alive. That’s just one of the things I’m left with after a lifetime of being raped. 
It started with my dad when I was 9 months old. It’s impossible to communicate the anguished, twisted, confused thinking that results from something so horrific being done to you when you can’t comprehend it, let alone stop it. The only thing you have to fall back on is that there must be something terribly wrong with you, for someone who ‘loves’ you to treat you that way. 
As the years went on, I somehow knew in my heart that the other girls at school weren’t being hurt the way I was. Not only did my pain show – I was lonely, miserable, lost, angry and mean, even though I tried desperately not to be – but the knowledge that I was being singled out for the abuse only confirmed the truth of what I was being told (that it was my fault) and strengthened my belief within myself that it must be true. I can’t express the extent of my self hate, even at that age – 5 or 6 – I remember it being overwhelming. No one took an interest – no one. No one looked beyond the expression of my hurt and confusion to see what was inside. Instead, I was told that I was a mean, awful girl, and that if I didn’t learn to think before I spoke, I would never have any friends. Again – I was the one at fault. Not only for getting raped in the first place (I was a child!), but for the terrible effects that being raped was having on my ability to be a normal child. In the end, all this taught me was that I had to learn to hide my pain better, to become more controlled and more of a pretence. Which in turn only pushed the pain and self hate deeper. 
And so my miserable life went on. Until not long after my 30th birthday, someone introduced me to Matthew Meinck.  Matthew is the only person who has ever looked closely enough to see that this incredible pain and hurt was (is) hiding inside of me, and who has taken the time to help me start to heal. It was with his help that I first experienced the intensely sweet relief of realising that I wasn’t just a mean awful girl, something I believed to my core to be true, but that I had been grossly, devastatingly and crushingly hurt, over and over and over again, and that the damage from that treatment had warped me, twisted me up and filled me completely until the only thing that could ever come out of my mouth or actions was an expression of pain. How else could I have possibly turned out? 
That realisation was the start of my healing. It seems almost easy now to say that I would be dead if it wasn’t for Matthew’s help – I would have killed myself many years ago. But staying alive is the easy part. The hard part is healing the pain. It goes so deep and it’s through every single cell in your body. There is no part of me that hasn’t been affected by what has been done to me, or by what I have believed about myself in reaction to what was done to me. And it’s a mire. There’s no way I could get through the confusion of my twisted thought patterns, attitudes, beliefs and self criticisms on my own, no way, they’re just too good. Look at the horror they had to justify – that’s what brought them into being after all – what hope do I have trying to apply some nice thoughts to myself or trying to counter the destructive thoughts when there’s a lifetime of hurt and self hate propping them up and driving them on? But with Matthew’s help, the past 9 years has been a constant breaking down of those thought patterns, one by one, as they expose themselves. 
I’ve lost count of the number of counsellors and psychologists I saw before Matthew, trying to work out what on earth was wrong with me, not one of them came even remotely close to the truth. Not one of them was interested enough to. Not one of them was even capable of trying it. The evidence is there – I saw those guys, but nothing changed, my life carried on no differently. Then I started seeing Matthew, and my life started changing. Big time. It couldn’t be more different now to 9 years ago. 
I know it’s cost Matthew a lot to help me and others in the way he does. And I am overwhelmingly, eternally grateful to him for it. To be able to live times in my life when I truly like who I am, and don’t judge myself for the hurt that’s still inside me and that still causes trouble. I’ve lived most of my life believing I would never experience that. Never experience the simple acceptance of myself. In one way, it’s devastating to be 38 and feeling like I am only just now starting to live, starting to come out of the dreadful darkness that’s been all I’ve known, starting to see life more clearly, as it really is, but on the other hand it’s the sweetest, most precious and priceless thing – had it not been for that chance introduction to Matthew, with his unique understanding of how complicated and messy pain is and his incredible ability to get through that pain, to help to loosen its hold so it can start to unwind and release, his deep compassion for the hurt and confusion that I was (am) in, and his generosity to be there to help me from day one, I know I would never have experienced it at all.

This is a very practical healing Matthew (Meinck) has to offer


Areas of Comfort Exposed
I recently met with Matthew (Meinck) before returning to full time work.
Working physically hard in harsh climatic conditions has stirred up unrelated task thinking of getting ‘off the job’, and thus dividing from the direct physical experience.  This is quite the opposite of really being involved with what is going on and it is not working safely. 
It feels like involvement is everything. It takes unnecessary pressure off me and others.
For sure Matthew’s services of a truly professional Health Care Consultant,  and good friend is the only way I have been able to push my boundaries of limitation and go beyond limiting behaviour by  sensing the impact of them and therefore understanding them. This keeps me safe.
This is a very practical healing Matthew has to offer from his services.

If you are willing to put the work in and face your pain, I'd recommend Matthew (Meinck) any time, to any one. So, thank you Matthew for helping me.

8th Jan 2013


I write this letter in support of Matthew Meinck. Matthew’s approach to healing is unique, unlike any other I have experienced.

I first sought his help for chronic back pain a year ago. 12 years prior I had been diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis, a debilitating and long-term condition that involves chronic inflammation of the joints between the spinal bones, and the joints between the spine and pelvis. For the last three years I was prescribed on a daily bases anti-inflammatories and fortnightly injections of TNF-blocking medications, none of which seemed to have much effect. Prior to taking the prescription drugs I had sought continually the help of doctors, physio-therapists, chiropractors, naturopaths, an osteopath and anybody and anything else I could think of – all to no avail. Life was painful.

When I first met Matthew, he gave me a massage, linking different tensions in my body to certain experiences I had had in my life. The extraordinary thing about this was, he was correct. Matthew suggested that by releasing the tension in the body, the physical/emotional pain would eventually heal itself. Matthew then encouraged me to discontinue with the prescription medication and instead to seek the help of his friend, a natural therapist. I have now made significant changes to my diet, attended several meditation retreats and continue to see Matthew for support. His approach is unique in that he encourages you to face your pain, to feel whatever it is inside. He has a rare ability to help draw out the pain, helping to release the tension in the muscles and cells, allowing the body to heal itself naturally, without any medical intervention whatsoever. 

The meditation retreats are silent retreats. Here you learn to take on the responsibility of healing yourself. Matthew suggests that the source of all human confusion and unhappiness is a displaced sense of ourselves, that the mind is seen as an entity separate from the human body. Most of the day is spent in silent meditation, feeling whatever it feels to be oneself. This in turn allows for gradual re-integration of body and mind. As a newcomer to this approach, I can’t say it was easy. It was challenging and sometimes outright confronting, feeling the continuous pain that was me, especially as in the past I had done everything in my power to avoid the pain. However, the healing effects of the meditation were enormous. It would be an exaggeration to say that I am now healed, but 12 months on, I am able to live life without drugs and am physically/mentally active. If you are willing to put the work in and face your pain, I'd recommend Matthew any time, to any one. So, thank you Matthew for helping me.

Matthew (Meinck) has been instrumental in getting me to see for myself that it is my responsibility alone to take care of myself and see that my actions have consequences.

31st March 2013

Matthew (Meinck) has been instrumental in getting me to see for myself that it is my responsibility alone to take care of myself and see that my actions have consequences.

This is no small thing and no one else in the medical field or health care profession have ever had the sensitivity and professional approach to get me to see.

Matthew offers the most effective cutting edge services in the healing and well being industry today, by far.

With his counselling  it is up to the individual how far they can go to the depths of their own unique potential. Matthew has never pressured me but on the contrary has gently encouraged me.
I consider myself fortunate that I participated and received so much in the last WA retreat.

Now by doing daily meditation and keeping my life as simple as possible I once again naturally smile and laugh at times.

I  urge others whom are genuinely interested in truly healing their lives or those whom have already benefitted from Matthew’s services to come forward and express their support for Matthew.

No euphoria just relief and a respect for what it took from both Matthew and myself to get to this point and keep going.

21st Jan 2013

Having regular deep tissue massages with Matthew and attending his meditation retreats have changed my life.

It is difficult to express the subtle but profound changes that take place working with him but I wanted to put pen to paper to give it a go because I realized today that the peace that I am able to feel  now is not only in stark contrast to the way I have lived my life for the last 40 years but a thing I often thought wasn’t possible .

One of the benefits of the retreat environment is that it gives you time to really slow down and when you feel a high level of anxiety in your body on a daily basis at first this seems a stupid if not terrifying thing to do because obviously you feel it more. It has taken some doing but because of the slowing down I can live my life now with the freedom to have anxiety there or bliss and everything in between. The problem was never that I had the anxiety or other difficult feelings, it was that I didn’t want to feel them.

I only realized it when a comment Matthew made on a recent retreat that struck a cord with me as they often do and it was something to the effect of “that it is not that parts of what we feel that are bad it is weather or not it is all of you” Which I noticed is how I am able to live now. To live with all that I am and feel even if I don’t always like it I can accept it.

My only goal along the way was to be able to live with myself. It just took hard work and patience from both of us for me to stay with myself long enough to accept how I was/am. Today I realized I can.

This may sound a trivial thing to some but to people who have lived with the anxiety, confusion, depression and often terror on a daily basis even after all the medications and therapies I could find to try to help, it is like being let out of a straight jacket.
There is no euphoria just relief and a respect for what it took from both Matthew and myself to get to this point and keep going.

I knew when I first met Matthew that I was meeting someone unlike anyone I’d met before, someone that was real and whole. This powerful mix frightened me because I had a sense straight away that the truth in him had already connected with the damage in me and would be able to heal it but also what it was going to take on my part to get past my terror. I had no idea that it would take his personal sacrifice as well, I can only be grateful that he continued the journey with me.

Matthew’s approach to healing is constantly evolving and as I watch others like myself start the process with him I am excited to watch them start new lives just like I did.

What I have described is just one positive effect that Matthew has had on my life this man is truly a profound healer and I hope that for as long as he wants to continue that there are other people who are eager to receive what he has to offer.

He helped me to discover the truth about myself and the world around me.

Much of my personal healing can be attributed to the skill and dedication of Mr Meinck, who has helped me through a period of healing debilitating trauma


18/12/11
"I have worked in the natural therapies industry for 18 years, and have had many years of experience with the processes of healing, both in myself, and in other people. Much of my personal healing can be attributed to the skill and dedication of Mr Meinck, who has helped me through a period of healing debilitating trauma.
Over the past 15 years I have referred dozens of people to Mr Meinck, for his experience and ability in helping people to heal. His approach by far exceeds the expertise of any other therapist that I’ve known. Before Mr Meinck’s expertise, I hadn’t experienced an approach to healing, so effective, or so powerful. Mr Meinck’s method of a simple, direct approach to facing pain and trauma, no matter how challenging, has been extremely beneficial. 
When in the healing and supportive environment provided by Mr Meinck, I have seen and experienced on many occasions, how people can completely heal, when they are committed to their process.
A man with the most unique healing qualities I have ever seen."

Matthew Meinck - Beyond What Mainstream Medicine Could Do

10th Dec 2011



"For 12 years I suffered severe panic attacks, depression, extreme low self-esteem and many and varied recurring health issues. Some include eczema, throat/chest infections, tonsillitis, chronic urinary tract infection, carpal tunnel syndrome and extreme muscle tension. 


This of course made it hard to hold down a job. I tried several qualified counsellors and psychologists for 8 years and anti depressants of several kinds and some tranquillisers administered to me by my parents.
But the terror continued.
None of the dozens of doctors I saw could help me.


Then I made a phone call to Matthew Meinck.
After the second phone call (2000) I had with him he recommended that I stop trying to use the control techniques I had been taught and just feel the terror that was in my body I was able to just let it be there. By being able to do that I was free. I have not had an anxiety attack since.


Shortly afterwards I stopped all medications for depression and anxiety and about a year after that I was totally medication free. In the 3 years prior to meeting Matthew I was visiting the doctor on average 34 times a year and almost every visit ended with a prescription.


It has been a long and difficult journey but today I enjoy good health without any medication and also run my own small business.
My experiences and many others that I have seen with Matthew Meinck has taken us beyond what mainstream medicine could do."

Matthew Meinck Deserves to be Recognised

18/01/2012


“This is a letter of support for Matthew Meinck.
Matthew Meinck deserves to be recognised for the remarkable work he does.
I have been a client of Matthew Meinck for several years. Receiving from him massage and counseling and have attended many meditation retreats run by him.

I have had truly amazing results through working with him, in areas of my life where conventional therapies have failed.


I sought his services for the clinical depression that I had suffered from for approximately 13 years. My depression had resulted in years of medication, recurring unemployment and failed/interrupted studies. It was completely debilitating for much of my life.

After my very first session with Matthew depression was no longer an issue for me. His understanding of my condition was absolutely unique, and has allowed me to finally heal my life. He has been untiringly supportive of me throughout my healing process. He has also helped me get to a stage where I am able to really care for myself, so I am not dependent on therapy with him or anyone else.”
