Frank July 2026:
In group conversations it was as if I was invisible and my voice, unheard. I started working with Daniel to change that. That started me on a synergetic process of liberation from an ingrained childhood survival pattern of fading into the background and going unnoticed. As an adult I avoided any limelight and the few times I had to speak in public I became so anxious that one time I broke out in hives and my lips swelled up! In about the middle of our 9 sessions I performed a 90 minute public ritual that was so successful some people were in tears and many others came up to me to share how meaningful their experience was. Later, I led another very successful public ritual and I have another one scheduled in the near future. So after a lifetime of avoiding the limelight I now bathe in it! And, I am much better at participating in group conversations. Thank you Daniel for all your help!
