Consult Transforming Mental Health

30


30 per unit - Virtual OK - Posted May 08, 2017

I will provide 30-60 minute sessions in working with people, who like me, experience perceived mental illness. Perceived by themselves and/or the status quo. My specialties would be in the bipolar and depressive experiences. I will first and foremost listen deeply. Nothing is more important than feeling heard, and receiving empathy & compassion. I will share (if relevant and invited) my experiences and practices for transforming these perceived illnesses. I will (when possible and relevant) connect you with resources and people who can potentially provide further support, information and transformation. There may be other services and gifts to offer as well.

Training & Qualifications


I am intimately acquainted with the bipolar experience (depression, mania, psychosis, suicidal depression, hypo mania, mood swings, hospitalization, family and personal trauma, medications, natural healing, spiritual breakthrough, etc). I have been on the path of transforming my own journey for 23 years from the age of 19 when I first experienced a major episode.

Here's an essay I wrote in 2011 about my first experience at age 19:

I completed the well renowned 2 year degree program for Psychosocial Rehabilitation in New Jersey at UMDNJ.

I have spent the past 5 years travelling the world learning from people about their experiences with perceived mental illness and how they work with it, how they thrive and how they struggle. I have a vast network to tap into for recommendations, connections and further learning for you.

Here's the simplest best advice (model) I have found that can be applied in Transforming Perceived Mental Illness Into A Blessing:

The 6 Steps To Awesomeness (By Vishen Lakhiani )

Know WHAT You Want

Be “In Flow”

Establish Embodiment Practices

Listen To Your Intuition

Seek Out The Right Environments

Take Action

Availability & Preferences


I'm usually free in the afternoons and evenings but this is highly dependent on where in the world I am at the time, which can vary from EST to PST, to CET and GMT. Therefore, we will have to connect and see what's best when the time comes.

Trading Preference: I’m flexible, just hit me up!

Mental Health Specialism All of Bret’s work is inspired by his own mental health experiences. Following a vibrant, healthy childhood and adolescence, Bret’s own sudden and personal encounter with a diagnosis of bipolar disease at age 19 prompted his own deep explorations into the origins of mental illness, and the natural forces that enable people to transcend it. Bret has spent over twenty years in deep research, experiments, objective study and personal inquiry. He has traveled the world and connected with people from all walks of life in order to investigate the origins of mental illness and the possibilities for mental wellness.
