When despair had again got the best of me I had the chance to be part of your Program, Chrysalis. My intelligence, creativity and progress towards the sublime were spotted and acknowledge by all your staff. I will come to Program in joyous expectation of what magic I will be participating in that day. We are all treated with such respect and humanity. You remember every clients name. It makes me feel so welcome and important.
I would never forget the first day in Chrysalis. I had no plan and was overcome with anxiety, fears and stress. I felt like a wounded animal. Beda’s voice guided me to her office. Her objectivity, that certainty of thought and knowledge relaxed me. The hour that I spend in Beda’s office has proved to be the right therapy for me. We work very hard; we are very committed to success.
Now, my anxiety is controlled, my fears confronted, my stress is being used to relieve my own sufferings. I have no problems sleeping and I stop smoking. I visit 9 muses regularly; I do Yoga, I paint and participate of groups and activities. I enjoy writing and reading again. I am making new friends. My life is enriched. My fears are fading away while I examine them. I am moving away from lethal relationships. It is all a tremendous surprise for me! I did not imagine the outcome. Happy I am!!
I am 61 years old and it is now, with your help that I can understand where my problems and inspirations come from. Quite an achievement! I guess I am ready for it. It was not by chance. It was time for me! You succeeded in teaching me to love myself, awakening me from a kind of trance that pervaded all of my life. A complete new chapter in my existence. An opportunity to live my life to the fullest.
I feel very proud and happy to be part of Chrysalis. All I have are good memories. You all have a certain charm. Patricia, the drivers and counselors, the therapists, the front desk. My apprehension of enjoying life had vanished with Beda and Camille’s deep understanding and their excitement of teaching. I grew curious about all of you. You are all very professional and happy people and have the gift of fostering strength and joy in all clients.
It is a very happy and encouraging ending for me, my daughter, her family and my friends. THANK YOU very much!
