Your fear makes sense. And it can change.

The holiday was wonderful but if it hadn't been for you it would have been a different story! It seems that all open air restaurants in Barbados have birds! There were no pidgeons but there were blackbirds and sparrows flying around and landing on tables as soon as anyone left to see what they could eat. There was also a chicken on the beach who liked to settle under my sunbed. Miraculously I wasn't bothered at all, I was even encouraging the small birds on our balcony with biscuit crumbs. My phobia would have ruined the holiday in the past but not now! I honestly can't thank you enough for how much you helped me.

Hi Lewis! I was outside today when a butterfly flew right past me. It was almost confusing how calm I was! On some level, I was feeling like I should panic, but I had no motivation to. I was able to watch it the entire time, perfectly content. Thank you so much for the help!

Lewis made me feel comfortable from the very beginning. He was willing to listen if it was what I required, but also did not probe into things unnecessarily. We worked through learnt behaviours and coping mechanisms and Lewis taught me to acknowledge them for what they were and my mind and body's reaction to them. It is hard to find the words that do justice to how effective this way of working together is. I am now free from unneeded, counterproductive coping mechanisms that I was barely aware of and feel free to move forward with my life in a positive and assertive way. I have also learnt to let go of things that I didn't even realize were bothering me and holding me back.
