Received a slightly longer response including the following from a local friend (a special ed teacher who's been checking this out here in Van.)
"I have not had any strong responses yet. Friends of mine who have experienced very powerful positive responses from Dr. Swingles treatments have been encouraging me to see hiem for well over a year. Their issues were depression, ADD, traumas amongst others. The whole family has attended at one time of another. X's most obvious response is that he went from being a "reluctant leader" in his business to being a powerful self-directed leader and more powerful speaker with no need for medications for depression and ADD any more. I have only had the intro sessions "aerobics for the brain" is how it was described to me, jarring the brain out of old ineffective modes....The assessment itself was worth the experience. Brain waves tell alot."
May get the chance to check it out myself yet but at $100 (Cdn) or so a pop for a session and looking at maybe 30 sessions one needs to know there is some value to be gained.
Sante!
