What People Have to Say

After years of talk therapy and evaluation of recurrent traumas I felt I was alert to my emotions but the emotions were in more in the controlling center of my life. I have been in need of a change to move forward, I was ready to try something new.

Years of working in medicine helped me understand the relationships of neuroscience within the amygdala and hippocampus and how this affects memories. On the cellular level how does this correlate with trauma?

Learning how to focus on an intense emotions, physically and mentally looking inside is tough. Aware self hypnotism.

Using the focus points in the visual field is very interesting as there certain places that when I found an area of huge intensity of emotion. It felt like I could relive the intensity in a safe place, taking 3-10 minutes in one space of memory. I felt a bit detached from my ‘normal reality’ and could see the memories as a part of me but not tearing at me. Body aches would occur and until l really was filled with that emotion and worked it through things would not change. It’s as like putting something to bed, and over time there is less intensity of emotion but the teddy bear is still there in the corner.

During the sessions I felt the ability to lean in to these memories and acknowledge them as part of me but not all of me. It is unlike anything I have experienced before ( except maybe on acid) and know there neurochemical changes that occur with emotional changes. The refiling , relocation of these memories is more of a sensation of relief. The ability to understand this more emotionally took more time and seems more positive. The emotions aren’t gone but working in a better way.

“I came to see John Beck when I was experiencing panic and emotional distress due to a recent traumatic incident. I didn’t know how to handle the event or the after-effects and it was starting to affect my job, personal relationships and eating and sleeping habits. I had never been to a counselor before. John helped me to realize that practicing kindness to myself and acceptance of my own feelings, instead of beating myself up or shaming myself, was the solution and the tool I needed to overcome the incident and my reactions to it. His ability to guide me to this conclusion and re-train me with this practice has improved the way I feel about myself and my life, as well as my relationships with my loved ones.”

We came to John at a breaking point in our marriage when things felt hopeless. John helped us uncover the negative cycle that was creating a disconnection between us. It’s been a journey of ups and downs, but he has offered us a greater understanding of ourselves and how we contribute, both individually and cooperatively, to the dynamic of our relationship. His process takes time and patience, but if you’re willing to put in the work and be open-minded, it’s so very worth it. John is compassionate, supportive, and offers plenty of explanation to guide you through the process in whatever way works best for you. We are so grateful for his help and have truly never been happier.”
