When I first met with Patrick, I was in the middle of a stressful year both professionally and personally. I was suffering from panic attacks, anxiety, and depression on level I was no longer able to ignore. During our first session he taught me the EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique) to help relieve my anxiety symptoms. I went home and tried it, and it actually made me feel a lot better. After a couple weeks, the tapping was replaced with daily meditation involving deep breathing. This not only made me feel calmer but also increased my ability to stay focused and organized throughout the day. Most weeks Patrick gave me reading and writing assignments based on topics that arose in our therapy sessions. The process of writing helped me express my thoughts more freely. This allowed me to access more of my feelings to share with Patrick in therapy. Patrick also employs EMDR therapy protocol often used for PTSD. This technique had lasting effects in increasing my confidence level and an overall feeling of peace and wellbeing. Throughout the process of therapy, I was able to ascertain that aspects of my personality that I was working hard to change could instead be accepted and used as strengths. I highly recommend Patrick as a therapist because if you are highly motivated to change, he will positively transform you life.

Hi all,Just got back from my first session of EMDR therapy. It is really amazing how much better I feel.I told my therapist that when my mom starts screaming that I feel like I am a 4 year old again, so she suggested this EMDR therapy.First she had me pull up a typical bad memory, you all know the scene, mom drunk, parents screaming, you try to tiptoe to the kitchen without being seen and wham you are now the target of both of them.While as I pulled this up I got all the typical feelings, nausea, tight chest, headache, etc.Next we sat at a table and she held my hands and just tapped the back of each hand with a thumb (one at a time, back and forth) as I sat there describing the scene in as much detail as I could, smells, sights, sounds, it is shocking how much you can remember from 45 years ago, well we went on until I could not come up with anymore details, then we discussed in detail how I felt right now, I listed every emotion I could think of, then she asked me what I wnated to do, I told her that I wanted to let the memory and associated emotions go.And I swear to you, the wind started blowing through the scene in my mind and the everything started blowing away like it was made of fine sand or dust or smoke, all of a sudden my headache was gone, my chest was loose, my belly relaxed, but I was crying and I was exhausted, but the memory was now gauzy instead of crisp.I don’t know how I will fell tomorrow, but today I am just blown away but the whole session.
Client Larry after one session.
