About Dave
To understand what Dave does and why he does it one would have to understand his background. Like many others, he grew up in a very dysfunctional, chaotic and even violent at times, household. All of his parents, his mother, father and stepfather were all very emotionally insecure and immature causing their relationships between themselves and with their children to be quite dysfunctional. As a result, Dave got pretty screwed up mentally and emotionally.

He went into talk therapy at the age of 25 to figure out his issues and, from that point on, engaged in 10 years of talk therapy in a fifteen year span due to his anger/rage, high anxiety and bouts of depression. Unfortunately, he felt like he walked out of therapy after ten years invested feeling like he had pretty much the same amount of anger/rage he had walked in with 10-15 years prior. And, he still had a lot of anxiety and feelings of depression as well.

So, he began to seek out other ways to help him resolve his issues. Dave’s journey to heal himself opened many doors to find incredibly effective, quick, easy ways to release one’s anxiety, stress, worry, depression, excess anger, sadness, guilt, shame, and, even, physical pain, etc. Dave knows that these methods work because he’s been very successful using them on himself, as well as others in his therapy practice over the years. These newfound methods released him from his anger/rage, his anxiety and bouts of depression.

He used to hate that he got so screwed up as a kid. Now he loves the fact that he got so screwed up, now even feeling that it was all a part of his spiritual journey. As a result of his screwed up childhood he sought out, found and experienced some incredibly effective healing methods that helped him to resolve and release his major issues. Being a therapist, he has also been helping others resolve their issues as well with the same methods that helped him. Dave has remarked that there’s a kind of irony here where it was almost like he had to get screwed up enough so he could spend years in therapy, in talk therapy as well as working on himself with all these other methods he’s found, to see what worked and what didn’t so he could teach others the same.

Dave’s Professional Life
