HarrisHoward Therapy Testimonials
My time with Colin at HarrisHoward has created a significant impact on my day to day life, as well as alter my perspective of memories and past experiences. The simplest way I can find to explain the shift, if to use the word ‘reborn’. I mean this not in any religious sense, but in the capacity that many emotional or intuitive experiences since the end (loosely) of my treatment have felt like a ‘first time’. This has been unnerving and bewildering at times, but positively contributes to the feeling of now being in control of my own circumstances.
One aspect of this ‘newness’ is a lack of present understanding about my previous likes and perspectives, which creates a kind of disconnection. But, due to the work that I did with Colin, I have the trust to let any discomfort pass, with a belief that this was / is part of the process. Having this belief in my movements, thoughts and processes, and the confidence to make a decision rather than tread water for fear of making the wrong decision, is a relief.
Daily life is easier. I smile more. I am more positive without proof, and I find I am more the confident and secure person whom others would describe, but whom I never felt. The most gratifying shift for me is that, largely, I experience a sense of calm and self-contained-ness, which brings me such pleasure.
I also now understand how I can directly influence my experience. I have spent so much time and energy just coping, I could only ever respond. Now I have the belief – or maybe even knowledge, (a scary word!) – that I can be active rather than reactive, and importantly proactive and impactful in a positive way in my professional and personal life.’
