I have gone through years of traditional therapy and the main thing I realized was that the change must come from deep inside my soul deeper than any traditional counseling can provide. Michele helped me open that gateway to understanding of what is true and what is just feelings that are far from reality. She has been helping me realize the difference between who I really am and what is just a product of other's expectations from me. She also helped me towards erasing all the guilt that I have been carrying with me for years caused by my thinking that I had to satisfy every body's expectations of me.
I found Michele Whittington on a community FB post with multiple glowing reviews. I’ve struggled with panic attacks while driving (bridges and freeways) for 20+ years, and hoped Michele could help me. Michele is a gifted healer and intuitive in approach. After only two sessions, I’m driving areas I haven’t driven in years, sleeping better, and more self-aware. Michele is accessing the sources of stress, and freeing me of old patterns of thought that don’t serve me anymore. I love being able to “move on” without dwelling on past trauma.
Today, for the first time in over 4 years, I drove on the freeway. Since my appointment 4 days ago, I have felt light. Anxiety feels different, or absent. Each day since my appointment I have tested my regular triggers to see if the calm I felt was a facade, it felt unreal to me. Each test I gave myself I passed. The things that would normally send me into a head spin with a racing heart, were just getting minimal, and some zero, reactions from me! Today I decided to try to tackle my biggest nemesis, the freeway.
My backstory and the focus of my appointment was my fear of driving on the freeway. I couldn’t even be near on and off ramps without my heart fluttering and feeling light headed. My first panic attack happened at a stop light 4 years ago, right before I would’ve gotten on the freeway, and this is when I swore it off. I knew I never wanted to feel that way again, or put myself or anyone else in danger from my crippling fear and reaction to it. I’ve built up so much guilt and resentment for myself over the years, feeling inadequate. “What if my kids or another loved one needed me and we were not a quick backroad drive away?”, or “what if my child or another loved one needed me to drive them to a doctor appointment or hospital?”. Furthermore, “what if I wanted to take my kids in an adventure in a different city, or state”. I wasn’t able; I would do more harm than good trying if it involved the freeway and I’ve felt like an utter failure for so long because of it.
Today was the day and I couldn’t be more proud of myself and so very grateful to Michele for this gift. I was smiling ear to ear my whole freeway drive today. It was short, because I don’t want to push too hard, but it was perfect.
Thank you, Michele. I felt like myself again today ♥️
I've been working with Michele to root out and replace negative practices and memories that have had a hold on me for years. Both my wife and I have seen amazing positive changes in our personal emotions and in our marriage. I've had more progress with Michele than any previous marriage counseling. It is a partnership and you have to do your homework , but those small "nudges" do work ! Thanks Michele.
