On one particular day, a number of patients had canceled, providing a huge window of time for a new patient. I worked with her for an hour and 15 minutes. She was suffering from depression/anxiety, primarily significantly worrying about her children, and could not show them genuine love.

After working through mechanical issues, I asked her to state out loud affirmations like "I can love my son with abandon." She could not even say them the first time; she was sobbing. I adjusted what came up after each sentence.

One week later she is a new woman: calm, no tears, talking about her kids with joy. She said, "I really like my kids now, I can show them love." She almost cancelled today's appointment because she felt so good.
