Testimonials

I’ve been working with Mended Mind Coaching probably close to nine months and it’s been a real game changer the tools the music therapy, which I highly recommend has been great just being able to open up and talk to someone And be able to help you through. Your problems has been awesome. Tony is great !very sweet And and willing to help you get through .I’m so thankful to Jehovah for this awesome group of brothers and sisters and the program.

When I started this therapy I was hopeful but skeptical because I had therapies before and they did not get me very far. I have been diagnosed with severe chronic PTSD, anxiety and panic attacks, agoraphobia, etc.

It started in 2008 and I went out less and less and completely stopped in 2010. Some years I did not leave my house at all, others I had to go to the doctor for an emergency and I might leave 2-3 times a year.

This outings were painful and always ended in panic attacks followed by stomach problems because I do have IBS. I always thought that I have to wait until the new world to go out again and have a life. Deseree promised me that I would not have to wait until the new world.

We started talking and I did first safe and sound and after some time I realized that I had no more nightmares. I could actually sleep. I went from 2-4 hours of sleep a night to 7 hours a night! Wow I was not as exhausted on a daily basis, this was the first change.

Then I noticed that I did not have a panic attack for several month. I tried a few small outings and even went to the congregational meeting on Sunday. Yes, I was a little anxious but I had no panic attack. Today, I am on my vacation in Florida! Until 2 weeks ago I did not know how it would go.

I planned it like a road trip, in stages. A 2 hour car ride first. It was the test. We stayed at a hotel. No panic. Then we went on to different places. Yes, there was some anxiety along the way, I still don’t like when cars come to close. I also had a couple days of stomach problems but I made it through. I prayed a lot for Jehovah to help me every day and in nervous situations.

Then I applied the tools I learned in therapy. Through this whole tripI had no big panic attack, and I made it all the way down to Miami Florida! This is day 11 of my 2 week vacation.

I have seen the ocean, and trees, birds, Jehovah’s creation and everything is like a miracle. But the biggest surprise came when I tried starting conversations with people!!

I went into a small store, I went into hotel receptions independently. I went into places with strange people.

Yes, little by little I am taking my life back and I have Deseree and this therapy to thank for that. Jehovah has given my the strength and Deseree gave me the tools to break free from the prison I have been living in for over 10 years.

I am so thankful to Jehovah that I have found out about Deseree and CBT, SSP and RRP. I’ve dealing with PTSD, depression and anxiety my whole life. My only regret is that I wish I would have found this sooner! Maybe my younger years would have been more enjoyable. But with that being said, I can say that not only for myself but as well as for my husband, I have noticed the positive changes I have made, when it comes to dealing with myself, others and situations that I can’t control. For the first time in my life, I am getting glimpse of what it feels like to be content with my present circumstances and to actually look forward to the future and to make peace with the past, knowing one day it won’t even be a memory. CBT has helped me learn so much about why I react the way I do, but also given me tools on how to change that behavior. I am thankful to and for Mended Mind Coaching.

In recent years I feel a definite shift in my mood and energy come September when there is less light and we head into fall. I reached out to Deseree asking her what might be helpful for Seasonal Depression and she recommended RRP. I signed up but hadn’t started it yet. On the morning before I started RRP I got a back spasm that landed me flat in bed for most of the day. In the afternoon I did my first session of RRP and within an hour I was up and about, my back had entirely unlocked! I reached out to Deseree and asked if it could be related, and sure enough it can work that fast! I am now about a week into RRP and don’t have the same low energy and depressive feelings that I tend to get this time of year. I’m somewhat shocked that it can work this fast!

The program was huge in turning my distorted thinking around, and paving the way for me to start each day with less anxiety, plus giving me wonderful tools to stop future distorted thinking in its tracks! Rochelle gently guided me through each step, gently but powerfully. May Jehovah continue to bless and keep them all as they lovingly support our precious brotherhood!

My experience with RRP was very positive. It really helped me to relax and wind down. I liked doing it an hour or two before bed time. it helped so much with sleep.

CBT helped me learn so much how the nervous system and my whole body is connected. I learned to take a step back and it’s been about a year and I still use the tools I learned. I’m doing so much better!

Thank you so much for your sincere interest, patience and professionalism in helping my to build confidence and overcome warped reasonings.

I was grieving but also with PTSD and quite a bag of nerves.

The therapy and SSP have calmed me down, helped me to listen better and focus my thoughts.

This has helped me spiritualy as it’s easier now to take in and apply counsel.

I really do feel a lot more emotionally stable and understand better certain symptoms that I have had all life but now no longer affect me.
I have even applied for SKE and feel this wouldn’t have been possible without your help. Thank you !

I had some issues with being able to say NO and draw boundaries with people, especially those who wanted something from me. I had lost myself because I was trying to be what everyone else wanted and to only please them and their wishes 100% of the time. Dez helped me to stand up for myself especially when it comes to people abusing or trying to take advantage of me. It feels so good to be free of that chain around my neck!! Thank you Dez!
