Youth talks about therapy #2

Youth talks about therapy course at Gifted Institute

”I was taken to Johnnie when I, during my time in gymnasium, felt my anxiety worsen both in general as well as in especially tense situations, including exams. I was your classical “straight A’s girl”, who felt that I always had to perform my very best to have value both as a student and as a human. This resulted in me having an increasingly difficult time functioning in my day-to-day life and routinely experiencing extreme anxiety attacks.

Over the course of my time with Jonnie I have not only learned to better control my exam anxiety, but have also developed a higher self-worth and a feeling of being more in control of my life than I have ever been before.

Johnnie has given me concrete tools to handle situations that previously would have led to extreme anxiety attacks, so that today I can take exams and get good grades - and more importantly for me; I have reconciled myself to the fact that my academic achievements do not reflect my worth as a person.

As both a person and a psychologist Johnnie is a calm, approachable, and very pleasant person, who you at once feel that you can confide in.

I can 100% vouch for Johnnie as a psychologist, and can only give my warmest recommendations to others, who for example have been in a situation similar to mine.”
