Do you feel devastated in some way? In my 25 years of therapeutic experience, I found that people can come to feel this way as a result of: 1. bad break up 2. financial ruin 3. major sudden diagnosis 4. sudden unexpected loss of a loved one In all cases, people feel hopeless and helpless, broken somehow. Often a nasty feeling of betrayal or injustice sours their day. I know because I have been there. I had already been a therapist for 18 years when I found myself at the bottom of a deep dark hole of desperation and constant panic, walking around in circles, staring at the walls, unable to see a future for myself. Being a therapist myself I went to the best of the best for help, I saw many of them. I was very surprised that none of my colleagues could help me. Some wanted to treat me with medications for anxiety, others thought depression was culprit. Although I felt both anxious and depressed at the time, the real problem was neither: I simply felt broken, and I needed to address that! Eventually I took matters in my own hands. I studied the problem day and night. I found other people who felt the same way and begun to share what I was discovering. It shocked me for instance to find out that there is no clear medical or psychological definition for that kind of breakdown and devastation. I eventually wrote the book Awesome Again, which incidentally is going into a second edition now. I healed my life. I can help you get your life back. Remember what you were like before this crisis. Remember laughing and enjoying looking forward to a great future. Remember sleeping well and enjoying your meals… remember who you truly are. This is not the real you, and you know it, you just have not found away out of this hole. I can help you get your life back; in fact I will show you right now how to do it. I will even do the exercises with you, live. Look, the truth is that if you are where I was 7 years ago, where the people I work with are when I start with them, lost, hopeless and helpless, then we may have to accept that it is not getting better for you. Time will not make this go away… time will chronify this problem, meaning that this state becomes your new normal. Some people tell me that they do not need to work with me because they have a good support system in their family and friends. Family and friends mean well, but they cannot help you, for three reasons: They do not want to rock the boat too much by discussing the tough issues going on in your life; they may not be a specialist at the process of change itself; they may have no experience with burnout. I can help you get your life back. Blessings, Flavio
