"I felt safe for the first time in years" — "I've had anxiety my whole life — always waiting for the other shoe to drop. During the session, I felt completely safe. Not just safe — held. Like the universe had me. That feeling has stayed with me." "The physical anxiety just stopped" — "The tightness in my chest that I'd had for years just... released. During the session, I took the deepest breath of my life. And I've been breathing easier ever since."
