Recorded 12 Years Ago — Proof That True Healing Lasts

Privatae Client

“No matter how deep the pain, healing is possible — and when it comes, it can set you free in an instant.”

For over a decade, a Private Client carried a burden that most people could never imagine. The weight of that experience shaped their life — relationships, sleep, attitude, and belief in themself.

They thought healing would take years.

They thought they’d always have to live with the pain.

And then, in less than an hour, everything changed.

“I left that room… and the weight I’d carried for ten years was gone.”

When this Private Client walked into my office, they described feeling as though a shroud had been wrapped around them for years — resentment, pain, and silence pressing in on them. They had never fully spoken about what happened, never allowed themself to be “weak,” because their family expected them to be the strong one.

“I thought healing would take years. It took less than an hour.”

Ten years earlier, this Private Client had been kidnapped and raped. They buried it deep, pushing forward with life as if it hadn’t happened — but the truth was, it followed them everywhere. Certain smells, the cold air, even the moonlight could trigger them, pulling them right back into the trauma for days at a time.

They tried different therapies, meditation, journaling… but nothing reached the core. Nothing truly set them free.

“I felt how I used to feel in high school… that spirit was back, and it’s nice to have them return.”

On that day, something shifted. As the memories surfaced, the emotional grip they held dissolved. What once brought tears, anger, and deep pain now felt like watching a movie of someone else’s life.

It was no longer theirs.

“It’s not me anymore — I’m not emotionally connected to it at all.”

The event had not been erased from memory — but it no longer had the power to define them. They could now live as if it never happened.

“Don’t be ashamed. It’s totally possible. Even if you’re not like me, you should give it a shot.”

This Private Client’s transformation wasn’t just about relief from pain — it was about reclaiming identity, joy, and future. Today, they’re pursuing law school to become a criminal prosecutor, determined to help others who’ve gone through similar trauma.

Their message to others is simple: seek help. Don’t carry it alone.

Full Transcript:

Ray: When you first came in, how did you feel?
Private Client: I had this shroud around me… resentment had built up so much that it was hard to function. Sitting here with you, I was able to say things I’d never said out loud. It’s been amazing. Now, I’m ready to move past it and start my own life.

Ray: Over 10 years ago, you went through something very traumatic.
Private Client: Yes. I was kidnapped and raped. I pushed it as far down as possible because I was expected to be the strong one. I never allowed myself to deal with it.

Ray: And that affected every part of your life — relationships, sleep, attitude, beliefs.
Private Client: Every single part.

Ray: You want to help others, so you’re going into law school to be a criminal prosecutor. What would you say to people still carrying something like this?
Private Client: Seek help. Don’t be ashamed. Sitting here, I felt how I used to feel in high school — that spirit was back, and it’s nice to have them return. It’s possible, even if you’re not like me. Give it a shot.

Ray: Before today, every reminder would bring you right back to that event. What about now?
Private Client: Nothing. It’s like a movie. I’m not emotionally connected to it anymore.

Ray: So you can live as if it never happened.
Private Client: Yeah. I never thought I could feel this way again.

If You’re Carrying Something You Thought
You’d Never Be Free From… You don’t have to.
The past doesn’t have to keep stealing your present.
