“Six and half years ago but beautiful son died by suicide, my life and my mind were shattered in pieces. I remember the moment my mind shattered, it was when the detective told me what happened. I felt a change in my brain that I could not explain to anyone. Days later I could not regulate my emotions as I once did in the past, I was very good at controlling my emotions. I was angry, confused, emotional and mostly traumatic about the suicide. Understandably so, my son had just died if I healed it would mean I didn’t love him that’s what I believed. I lashed out at everyone, refused social situations because I had intense anxiety about other’s perceptions of me and my child’s death. Afraid of what people would say to me, this caused me to not want to leave my home. I met Dr. Debly 8 months after my son died. We did psychotherapy for my sons’ death at times it was intense and painful at times but a truly amazing journey. I learned I can miss, love and mourn my son but I am true and real to still experience joy. Then I experienced more trauma after my son’s death, this was not something I wanted to deal with, or felt that I could deal with for with for the next years of my life. Dr Debly gave me the option of neurofeedback after 3 sessions I felt my anxiety lifting I started to feel hopeful, could this really work. After the trauma of my son’s death and the trauma I went through after his death, I thought there was no help for me, Dr Debly gave me a choice in my healthcare, a choice to be free. After 20 sessions I was free from my trauma, my anxiety, my panic, my nightmares, my flashbacks were gone, and I could still remember and love my beautiful boy. My brain that had shattered was filling in place like a puzzle all the pieces were falling back into place and it feels like I am finally there. I am know longer hijacked by my emotions. Thank you!”
