David has helped me in a number of ways, but what I really appreciate is being able to step through my fears in order to gain more confidence at presenting myself with clarity and authenticity so that I can express my needs and wants in a more direct manner. This has been transformative for me because I have found myself encouraged and empowered by David to integrate these new behaviors into all aspects of my life; as a result, the world now seems much less hostile to me and I am no longer stuck in negative patterns. David is like a homing beacon that guides me to the authentic part of myself, and his caring and willingness to express his own vulnerability creates a space in which I feel safe enough to do whatever I need to do in order to grow. I have learned a lot from David, but the one thing that is most valuable to me is knowing that I am okay no matter what happens.
