Sundog Counselling - Canmore, Alberta

One of the best things I did for myself was to receive SE trauma therapy from John. His keen ability to guide through the trauma without tipping me over helped me to gain strength and trust again. I have been to many therapists and I look for someone who has that special gift of empathy and experience to know what the best approach is for each person. John has this ability. Anyone would benefit from his counselling, especially for any PTSD issues. My life has changed for the better and I highly recommend him.

As a direct result of experiences I have had as a nurse, I was diagnosed with PTSD earlier this year. My Cognitive Processing Therapist recommended that I try Somatic Experiencing to help regulate my nervous system and improve my somatic pain.

The work I've done with John has been a game changer. Before Somatic Experiencing, days of my life would go to hell in a handbasket when my PTSD was activated. Now, I have the knowledge and ability to ground myself and bring myself back to the present. And, the number of migraine days I have per month have decreased by 80%.

John has experience working on the frontlines of healthcare and understands the unique trauma and challenges we experience in this line of work. He is relatable and genuine, and I know that I can lay all of my baggage out on the table without fear of judgement.

Because of the work I've done with John, I'm not just surviving anymore. I'm thriving and living my life with enjoyment.

Being a veteran which can come with its own issues, I was also dealing with the stress of running a small business during the pandemic, and coping with my child having brain cancer. I was feeling emotionally constipated, and shutdown. I had trouble feeling my normal ability to connect with others. I thought I'd give Somatic Experiencing a shot, and I am so glad I did. The work I have done with John Meyer, SEP, has helped me in ways that are hard to explain in a few words. I'll just say that John was patient and compassionate and seemed to easily accept where I was, and helped guide me to where I wanted to be. SE is an amazing modality. My ability to connect with others is now not only unimpeded, but a bit on the super charged side of things:) I work with high trauma impact injuries, and I have sent several of my patients to him, with excellent results as well.
If you are struggling like I was, I highly recommend doing a free consult with him to see if it is a good fit for you.
‐ For my brother and sister vets out there, John is one of us, and is uniquely equipped to work with us on our issues surrounding trauma.
Full disclosure: i was so impressed with the Somatic Experiencing work i did with John, that i have also started on the path to become a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, too. Without exageration, my work with John has been life changing.
I can not thank you enough, John Meyer. Keep on keepin' on:)
