A young man I worked with last week arrived shaking and clinching his jaw and tense all over. He was on his 4th day of going cold turkey from both pot and alcohol after a binge. He has a long history of using both everyday.

After the TAT session, he was calm and relaxed. He reported a deep sense of peace all over. He took a deep, full breath and beamed as he exclaimed, "I haven't been able to breathe like this for ages--it feels so good!"

Today he returned all smiles. He said everything seemed to have improved and just turned around for him. He had had no desire for either pot or alcohol even though he had partied and danced all night on Saturday with friends who were using both. He had even succeeded in deepening his connection with his wife from whom he is separated. He was overjoyed and attributed everything to the power of TAT. He has been using TAT on his own as needed since our first session and loves the way it so gently and thoroughly shifts his reality.

He said that to him TAT was like stripping his computer and only installing the new updated things that he wants to have in the operating systems and software.

I must add that this is an exceptional young man who has a very strong mind over matter ability that I rarely find in people struggling with addiction. He made up his mind and strongly feels he will be successful at remaining pot and alcohol free even when he is around it. He stopped cigarette smoking on his own in the same way. He deliberately exposed himself to being around smokers while doing it so he would never have to avoid them to not be tempted to smoke again. And he was blown away by how significantly changed he felt after one TAT session.
