Reviews for Intensive Therapy Retreats Montréal, QC
A. M.
I had such a great experience doing the EMDR intensive with Brian. He has a very calm demeanour and made me feel very safe and cared for throughout. As far as the work and changes coming out of it, I expected obvious changes right away (even thought he warned me that's not how it works haha) but over time, I see SO MANY changes and the best way I can describe it is he helped me get out of my own way! I can't believe I lived with so much anxiety for so long and Brian changed that...amongst other mental blocks. I think everyone could stand to benefit from Brian's work.
Katie Flaster
Brian is an extremely gifted EMDR practitioner who brings great sensitivity, compassion, and insight into his sessions. He is extremely gracious and accommodates his client's needs as much as possible. His work leads to significant shifts in perspective and reactivity. He is a kind human and a pleasure to work with.
Heidi H
Going through the EMDR process with Brian has been a life-affirming experience. The compassion and insight he brings to the sessions will always be something I continue to reflect on in my personal life. EMDR is a unique experience and a worthwhile investment for yourself and your community. I hope that Brian continues his practice for many years to continue enriching the lives of many others.
Preston Ruddell
My experience with Brian Powell during our 5 day intensive retreat was absolutely extraordinary and transformative. Brian's mastery of EMDR, kindness, patience and keen intellect all combined to help me confront the demons I'd been carrying around for nearly all of my 72 years. As the result of his and our efforts together, I can best describe what happened as that the negative energy that has fueled my defensiveness and shame has gone. Without it, I have space for compassion to come into every daily interaction, especially those with my spouse. I can unreservedly recommend Brian and EMDR.
Chrissy Winn
Brian is amazing. He helped me acknowledge my trauma and deal with it. I would highly recommend him for EMDR. He is trustworthy and caring. A person you can trust.
