After two decades in and out of therapy, and on and off of drugs, I didn’t believe in solutions. I believed in management. Aurena and Viva revealed to me that actual healing is still possible. For the right person, these treatment modalities (EMDR and IFS) can feel miraculous in their outcome, even as they seem somewhat mystical in their mechanisms. I feel unburdened. For now, I feel happy on a consistent basis — unmediated by drugs, flow, or hypomania — for the first time in memory. It’s improved my parenting, my thinking, my work, and my ability to be a partner to my wife. It may not, in the end, solve all my problems. Time will tell. But it solved one big one and made the others feel more manageable. Thanks to Viva and Aurena!
