“Before I met Jess, I had spent years in introspection while incarcerated. I wanted to find out what made me do the things I did that led me to such an unfortunate place.
This is where Jess came in and was so vital in helping to guide me further down the path I had chosen to travel, because my old path led to nowhere I wanted to go.
I noticed an amazing growth in my emotional intelligence after working with Jess. I think the best way to put it would be to say that, before, emotions were just things that happened to me and I just had to put up with them or smother them until they were gone. But now, I live from a place where emotions are experiences that are there to teach me something and I don’t have to be afraid of them, and this allows me to grow each time. Even if the experience is “bad”, I am able to turn it into something “good”.
Working with you and your concept of “emotional alchemy” was exactly the direction I needed. I learned how to truly accept all of my emotions for what they are, and to love them for what they have to show me and teach me, even if they are uncomfortable. I feel whole for the first time in my life. I feel comfortable in my own skin and head and I am so grateful to have met you.”
