I came to Carmen terrified and with lack of self-confidence, you would not believe. In general, the first sessions I sat and told her about myself and about a compliment I received from an acquaintance and while talking I got shivers down my spine just from the realization that I received a compliment from someone and all this because of my lack of self-esteem. During the treatment, I began to believe in myself through the tools that we used in the therapy, like the reading lists that were created together, that I would read three times a day until they penetrated my subconscious.  In the past I couldn't be alone with myself, I really hated myself and all day I felt a sense of victimhood and self-pity.  However, thanks to the method actually started seeing a real change; I could plot the course of my own life.

I learned to love myself, to be alone with myself, to get to know myself deeply through Carmen’s guidance and support and most importantly to be my own best friend.

I learned to do what I want – expressing my will is something I had never done, I had always focused on satisfying the whole world except of course myself.  I learned that to do for others is great when it comes from a proactive place, but not good when it comes from a pattern of satisfying others. 

About sexuality for many years, I lived with the feeling that I'm attracted to men however I was not sure of these feelings.  Utilizing Carmen’s methods and tools, I feel like I got over myself and today I am in a happy and healthy relationship with a girl for some months now.  This is thanks in no small part to Carmen’s methodology and tools like “the black screen”.

The thing I'm most thankful to Carmen about is the model called, "here and now" because I can live in the moment without worries and fears, without the constant thoughts from my brain, the wheels moving in different directions and issues with no basis; to reach a State of peace of mind and understanding.

Carmen taught me to take responsibility for my actions and that simple fact is what helped me achieve the most freedom; while reinforcing the fact that I am not empty and hollow (these are concepts I used to describe myself at the beginning of the treatment with Carmen and have now been erased from my vocabulary).

Taking significant proactive steps while utilizing logical considerations is what has changed my life for the better and given me the tools to take control of my life.

The moment all these things happened it released the light within me, and I was able to project that inner light outwards to the world, people started seeing the positive me.  How did Carmen put it? “I succeeded in all the challenges the world threw my way”.

Not for nothing Carmen appears in my contact list as, “Carmen the savior”. I owe her my life, and I don’t say that metaphorically. If not for her I do not want to think in what place I would be in, or what slippery slope I would be on.

Undoubtedly, I have  ways to go and more work to do but without a doubt, I am on the right path. I meet with Carmen every day without seeing her while utilizing the tools she taught me to take control of my own life.
