I will add that during the sessions, this client began making a stand against a dominating relationship and began to recognize the lack of power themselves. I was informed from the ecclesiastical leader that the day following our last brain training session, this client informed the partner that things were changing and they were taking their life back.
Also, on our 4th day of training, there was a major disruption at this persons work as well as a promotion of added duties. They still came to the brain training sessions and joked about the day. When I questioned about the change in attitude and that before this would have put them in bed and I would have a no show, they laughed and said that there was no emotional work up anymore. These things do not matter. We laughed and joked for the first time.

Brett,
I've been intending to write for sometime, but I've been forgetting and busy. I don't think I've really appreciated how much my life has changed since doing Brain Training, until today. My grandmother died 3 years ago today, and I usually have a really hard time at Thanksgiving. I didn't even think about it this year. I thought about her, I missed her, but there wasn't that sadness connected to it. Its amazing. Though my life situation hasn't changed, I certainly have, and it really is a miracle. I can sleep, and I can focus, and I can function much better than before. Things with [partner] are really rough right now, but somehow I feel I can get through it - that we will find a solution that works for us both. I felt incredibly depressed about the whole thing on Tuesday night. But then I slept and woke up the next morning with hope that things will get better. That doesn't happen - that NEVER happens. People around me tell me I look good, that I have "bright eyes and a warm smile" as Gordon (close friend) put it.
I just wanted you to know what I've experienced. I wanted you to know that my experience with you, (counseling and brain training) has completely altered my life for the better. I am so grateful to you for the effort you extended, for caring at all, and for giving me the opportunity to LIVE again. Thank you. Thank you SO much Brett. I will never be the same. I refuse to ever be the fraction of a person I was before.
I have no idea how much I owe you ($$) but I'll send a check for as much as I can. (Though it will never equal what this experience is worth to me.)
Happy Thanksgiving!
With deepest gratitude,
Brett,
I talked with [Ecclesiastical Leader] on Sunday. I'm not sure what he was expecting, but it was like both of us could breathe again. I feel at peace, and he said I looked it. I know that life will always push me around, but now I have the stability and balance to not only stand on my own two feet but to enjoy the ride.
You are welcome to share whatever I've sent you at your discretion. I want anyone in darkness to have the opportunity to pull themselves up and feel the sun on their face, and this experience gave me that chance. I will share my experience with others as I see opportunities to do so. I feel this is not the end, but the beginning. I sincerely thank you. I hope to keep in touch with you, and that I might be able to come in for a "tune up" if I need to in the future.
With gratitude,
