Before I began working with Dr. Aaron, I was living in a haze. My emotional world was turbulent and chaotic. I swung between deep, overwhelming sadness and numbing indifference with small glimpses of joy sprinkled throughout. I didn’t trust myself and I had a difficult time being vulnerable with others, feeling unsafe in the world and inside my own mind. I was extremely discouraged and scared after a car accident that left me in so much physical pain. I had worked very hard up until that time to undo childhood trauma and brain injury symptoms, and I was terrified that it had all been undone in one instant. I felt exhausted and like I couldn’t do anything to take care of myself or be independent.

Since then, everything has changed. I had seen glimpses of my true self before, but now I know her as myself and walk in that identity every day. My body is stronger than it has ever been and I trust it to do what I need, for work or recreation.

My relationships with my family members are the best I can ever remember them being, and I’m so grateful we have developed a loving and trusting dynamic after so many years of struggle and hurt. I feel confident to speak my truth and show up as myself with my friends and strangers. I have learned what true integrity looks like, and have found freedom to show up fully in my relationships.

Knowing Dr. Aaron has changed me forever. His experience and knowledge shines through his interactions with me. He has always treated me with loving kindness and respect, and knows exactly what to do to help me overcome any obstacle. I have learned so much from him that I will carry with me the rest of my life; it has already transformed my relationships, my sense of self, my physical health and how I view the world. Confidence has become a more authentic piece of who I am, not just a behavior to help me feel safe and protected in the world. I will be forever grateful for the opportunity to work with such a man. He has been a wise and gentle teacher, fully devoted to my health and success as a human. To anyone considering embarking on the journey of healing with Dr. Aaron as their guide, I caution them. It will require all their commitment and attention, but it is priceless. There is no amount of money or experiences that could replace what I have gained from investing in my future here.

I will never cease to benefit from the investment I made working with Dr. Aaron, and anyone can have the same experience. I just had to devote myself to my own betterment and trust the process. There was a time for me that I believed I would never experience anything different from my reality and I would have to live with the repercussions of trauma forever, but that is simply not the case anymore. I have healed and transformed into a better version of myself and will continue to grow more and more into who I am created to be.

It wouldn’t have been possible without you. Thank you for the immeasurable blessing it has been to work with you.
