CLIENT STORY: I invited Peter to share his experience.

Peter is a Dutch ex-pat based in California, a seasoned professional in hi-tech, with a multicultural family. Despite his apprehension to group therapy and therapy in general, he jumps to the deep end with us in the program. He seeks to understand and resolve his trauma and has found a safe environment to gently express his inner self.

This is his before and after transformation:
"In the beginning, I was very apprehensive about sharing my deeper thoughts with other people. I said to Irene, I'll jump into the deep end and we'll see where it end. And I'm glad I did. I'm now more aware of my emotions and more able to let go of things that I don't have answers to. "
