Written on Feb 17, 2023 after therapy with Adenia for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, and coping with life changes
Adenia has been a major blessing in my life. I am starting to experience change in behavioral and physiological patterns. I am very happy and grateful for this development. Changing your life for the best takes intentional effort after you have made the decision. Adenia does not have a magic wand however she helps me to declutter my mind so that I can see and do things with more clarity. It’s like having a 15 miles race to run with 25 monkeys on your back. She is the person that comes in and help you get the monkeys off your back so that you can run light. She is awesome!

My therapist, Adenia Perez, has helped me so much. Early on and throughout our sessions, it became clear that the theme of one’s problems centers in the mind and in one’s perception of reality. This is the main lesson I learned from Adenia.
One has to incorporate daily habits of filling their mind with positive thoughts. Small daily progress leads to big change in the long term. Therefore, through building the habit of forcing my mind to think more positive thoughts than negative thoughts, I’ve been able to be more positive and at peace. Furthermore when developing positive thoughts, I’ve been able to change my perception of reality into a more loving reality.
Another area that we worked on extensively is being compassionate towards people who I perceive as treating me poorly. I’ve made a lot of assumptions as to why people have treated me poorly in the past. Adenia pointed out that these people are dealing with their own life challenges which may cause them to treat others poorly. She mentioned that it’s my job to treat them with compassion and to not take their treatment of me personally. This is an area that I’ve struggled with immensely when it comes to being treated poorly. I take things too personal. Adenia has helped me to perceive that it’s not personal and that I should stay focused on my goals and on continuing developing a positive mindset.
Thank you so much, Adenia! I greatly appreciate your help. Anyone who’s in need of help with their mental health may depend on Adenia to provide solutions and better help!
