It's Your Therapy

TESTIMONIAL:

I have been working with Theresa Olson for a few months now, and in this short time working with her I have learned how to cope with my PTSD and anxiety better than I have in the past two and a half years alone. I survived the Stoneman Douglas shooting in February of 2018, and since then I had two therapists before Theresa, however with Theresa I feel I can be open and vulnerable while being in a safe environment. She uses both EMDR therapy, DBT, and CBT to help me cope and I have used the strategies she’s given me on a daily basis that has lowered my daily level of anxiety. It’s Your Therapy has changed how I feel about myself and those around me, and although I still have things to work on, Theresa has helped me in ways I cannot show enough gratitude for. If anyone is struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship issues between you and yourself, or you and others, I would highly and happily recommend seeing Theresa Olson.

I have found Tess to be very helpful. Her style differs from some of my precious therapists but in the most refreshing of ways. She’s pointed, clear and empathetic.

TESTIMONIAL:

I was physically, emotionally and sexually abused as a child. I tried to commit suicide at

12. At 14 I started using drugs and alcohol to deal with the pain in my soul. I lived my life

playing the victim role. I justified all of my bad behaviors because I was a victim of

cruelties. My emotions ruled my world. I was my feelings. And since my emotions were

volatile, I lived a hidden turbulent life that I disguised well. There was one exception – my romantic relationships. That’s where all hell broke loose. I associated pain with love. When the chemical romance went sour, I tolerated abusive behavior because for me, pain equaled love. I am also a vice president of an international corporation and a part time judge. I mention this because although you appear conventionally successful, you could still be dying a slow death by the fires and demons of hell. Then came the inevitable moment , I lost my sanity and broke down. I took medical leave and checked-in to a mental health facility. Here, I met my therapist Tess. She changed my life forever. Tess taught that in order to heal, I had to revisit my childhood traumas and how I replayed them in my adult life. We did this through EMDR therapy, talking and writing. I learned that I am not my feelings and that emotions ebb and flow, come and go. I learned to pause before reacting to my emotions. I learned to express my feelings honestly, even though uncomfortable. Tess showed me how I associated pain with love. That when I felt loved someone even though they hurt me, that I was not really feeling love. That I was feeling the low self-esteem I felt as a child that told me I was not lovable, not pretty, not worthy, not good enough, Tess showed how to kill the negative talk with positive affirmations – I am lovable, I am beautiful, I am worthy, etc. Tess taught me how to find the positive in my tragedies and turn them into spiritual assets. Today I love myself and feel I am a beautiful, happy, healthy, sexy, I am a successful woman that is attracting her magical life. Today I am sober one year. Another blessing of Tess. I talked about my corporate career and Tess noticed that I was exhibiting PTSD symptoms as I talked about my work. As a result, I became aware how my job was severely stressing me and making me physically and mentally ill. Tess encouraged me to search my soul and as a result I am changing my career and pursuing what I love to do. I wake up everyday inspired and excited to go to work. So if you want a happy and magical life, I highly recommend Tess. It will be a scary and exciting journey, but I would not have it any other way!  ~ Anonymous
