“Why do I keep ending up in the same situation over and over?”
“Why am I always attracted to the same type of man who ends up hurting me?”
“I am always so anxious about everything. Life is so overwhelming. Will it ever get better?”
“How can I stop being so depressed all the time.”
“How do I stop having panic attacks?”
“Why do I always have nightmares?”

I am in Pickerington, Ohio. Using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) we can address and root out the hidden lies that hold you back from living life to its fullest. It is important that the lies that hold you back are pulled out by the root. Therefore I don’t stop with CBT. I will teach you about about your three brains: head brain, gut brain and heart brain. This concept is rooted in neurobiology. If you Google “3 Brains” you will find a plethora of information, much of it written by cardiologists and neurologists. It is a fascinating topic and it explains why CBT alone is not enough for complete healing.

When lies are implanted in us from painful events they are like seeds planted in the gut brain. They grow from little seeds to great trees which bear bad fruit in our lives. Simply being able to speak the truth does not root out lies entrenched in the gut brain. It is important to get to the root of the lie by looking at the event which was used to plant the seed of the lie within you.

I use different approaches to root out the lies, based on client desires.
