Abstract

The video (escorted by the transcript) features a follow-up discussion between Dr Susan Swim and David Abramovich with Colleen and her mother, 6 months after she completed her therapy in Now I See A Person Institute.

This client went from years of suicidal ideation and institutionalization to not needing therapy or identifying as mentally ill. She and her family were given a second chanceat life. This was by far the most damaged client I had seen from receiving services in the field of mental health.
