Building Bridges to Success
Even highly successful people get stuck at times in some area of life. Sometime you are struggling to find balance, or feeling burnt out or overwhelmed, or no longer connecting with your passion. Sometimes you may be trying to do it all for others which means you don’t take care of yourself and your body begins to show it. Or maybe you have a goal that you just haven’t yet achieved that you feel you should have by now.
If you are challenged in your life, does it feel like you are on the edge of a canyon looking down with no way across?

The Story of Ann – Finding Control
“By chance, my husband had overheard a conversation in an elevator one day; two ladies were retelling their personal stories of overcoming a 30 year long smoking addiction in only one session of therapy.
My husband immediately thought of me. I have been struggling with weight issues over the last decade and specifically over the last couple of years since I had gone on an anti-depressant following a traumatic event in my life. The weight issue has once more returned to plague me, and with it a deep sense of shame. Unable to accept the way I now looked – I felt everyone around me was passing harsh judgment on me. In my mind, weight was the source of all my problems. To put it simply, I had lost confidence in myself, in my work, in my relationships I was stuck in a rut!
When my husband came home with Cynthias business card and a story to match, I was skeptical. Cynthias background as a doctor of neurobiology was very appealing and the description of the Neuro-Emotional Method on her website was very interesting. As skeptical as I was, if this method works than it would be the quickest least painful way to eliminate the source of what is wrong in my life it was worth a shot. Many of my friend have spent years in therapy with not much to show for it. I needed a new and different way of approaching core issues.
When I met with Cynthia I found a soft spoken, sharp minded compassionate person. Over time Ive come to think of her as a human-condition detective. My first meeting with her convinced me that she was highly intelligent and trustworthy. She gave me a short demonstration of how the NET method works, and did nothing to sell me her services. I got the impression that she was genuinely trying to help, nothing more. After giving it some thought I decided to start therapy.
Within one session, I could see a big difference in myself. I was no longer feeling ashamed of my weight – the experience behind that feeling was neutralized. Still I was skeptical, but I decided to continue. The next few sessions produced similar results. I was back to my old confident self. Issues and pain that were not on my initial agenda were surfacing and since treatment was so nonthreatening to me I was able to bring them up and have them eliminated. I have had 8 one hour long sessions to date, and feel like a completely different person. In the 12 short weeks I have known Cynthia I was able to get off of the antidepressant I was taking, and do my best work professionally as well as effortlessly expand my social circle.
Ive recently told Cynthia that I feel Im a positive people magnet attracting great people into my life, and its a wonderful feeling.
Im in the best mental shape Ive been in years!!! Thanks Cynthia!”
