this Work and These tools!
"A no nonsense approach to self love + interdependence via healthy relationships"
Absolutely phenomenal therapist with a kind heart, listening ear, and a no nonsense approach to self love + interdependence via healthy relationships. Working with Zalman has been especially critical in navigating inner child work and reparenting myself. I highly recommend.
"I feel so heard, supported and seen"
Zalman is thoughtful in his approach, responses, and an overall great listener and supporter. I feel so heard, supported and seen and know that this is a safe space for all parts of me to show up.
"With your guidance, I was able to take control of my emotional triggers and heal much of my traumas"
With your guidance, I was able to take control of my emotional triggers and heal much of my traumas. About 6 months after working with you I found a wonderful partner and we’ve been together ever since. We are nothing short of best friends. We speak the same love languages and respect each other fully! Our families integrated seamlessly and our life goals, align perfectly! Communication is clear and open, and we tackle life’s challenges as a team. The word that best describes this is “nutritious”. A far cry from the relationships and people I kept in the past. You were a large part of all of this! If I had not learned how to recognize my triggers and work through them to heal, this relationship would have only been one-sided. I thank you from the bottom of my heart!
As you know, a lot of people don’t like to talk about going to therapy or their need for it… but every chance I get, I have always mentioned working with you and how wonderful of an experience it was.
"I would recommend Zalman Nelson as a therapist and definitely I would recommend his course"
I wanted to say that the course is excellent!. I find that having short explanatory videos are helpful as they do not overwhelm me with information. The explanations as to how there is an adult self and a child self within us, which then results in a reaction that is much greater that may be required for the moment, really resonated with me.
It really made me understand why the reactions are so intense at times, as the child self is now participating in the reaction and saying: "Hey, I am here... I need to be heard."
I have been practicing doing the emotions chart for several years. I do this now as soon as I feel something is off in my body and then I write a letter that I do not send.
It feels like I am able to release the pent up emotions/energy and I feel lighter and better after I am done.
I could not understand before, how just naming feelings, without figuring out why I feel them would help. But I can tell you for sure, that starting to name the feeling will eventually bring memories and other feelings to the level of consciousness. That will then allow you to remember why you may be feeling and reacting in a certain way.
It's a process and it takes practice. But it's easy and at your fingertips anytime you feel something coming up.
I would recommend Zalman Nelson as a therapist and definitely I would recommend his course. Thank you for creating this.
"I’ve grown and evolved a lot this year, thanks to you"
As the year ends I just wanted to write to you to express how grateful I am to have you in my life. It was a really big step for me to finally open up to someone and you took me in during my lowest point this year. Thank you for being so patient with me and for being the calming presence I needed to open up. Thank you for being my logical side when I’ve become too emotional to think clearly. Thank you for all the reminders and gentle nudges that I’m going in the right direction and that I’m doing better than I think. I’ve grown and evolved a lot this year, thanks to you. And because of that, I’ve had an amazing year and I’m ending this year on a good note. I even have so much more hope, ambitions and motivation for the next year as well!
"At times you were the only person I could trust"
Zalman I really like your videos incorporated with your handouts. Thank you for being such a huge part of my growth and seeing me through the worst time in my life. At times the only person I could trust. I would not be in the place I am now without you. Thank you.
"He gave me realistic goals and strategies to help heal my traumas"
Zalman is patient, compassionate and understanding of my needs. He is incredibly knowledgeable and gave me realistic goals and strategies to help heal my traumas. I would highly recommend Zalman for anyone who needs someone who truly understands and is willing to listen.
"Helped me learn to set up healthy boundaries and to identify my feelings"
Zalman has helped me heal from passed childhood trauma and continue to heal from trauma still effecting me. He has helped me learn to set up healthy boundaries and to identify my feelings. I am able to process and work on my triggers more easily now. I would highly recommend.
"He spells out concepts in a way that makes them easily understood"
Zalman is such a godsend. He’s an amazing listener and really cares about all my issues. His responses go into great detail about any concern I have and I’ve found every single response so useful and deeply considered by him. He spells out concepts in a way that makes them easily understood and able to be utilised in life. I’m so grateful for all his help.
"A competent and thoughtful guide through my thoughts and issues"
My experience with Zalman has been great. He is a competent and thoughtful guide through my thoughts and issues, always open to exploring options that fit me and my lifestyle.
"Feels like I'm communicating with a friend"
Communicating with Zalman feels like I'm communicating with a friend. He's insightful, calming, encouraging, and human. The task of getting to know the darker aspects of myself seems possible with Zalman's guidance.
"Super supportive, listens attentively and grasps what I'm saying even when I feel like I'm rambling"
Have had sessions with Zalman for around 7 weeks and he has been super supportive, listens attentively and grasps what I'm saying even when I feel like I'm rambling. He repeats concepts which is very useful for emphasis, and has a very balanced viewpoint which highlights when I have black and white thinking. Only negative I can think of is that I wish my sessions were longer!
"Able to pick up on not only what was said, but what isn't being said"
Zalman is honest, straightforward, and supportive. He listens well, and is able to pick up on not only what was said, but what isn't being said, and is able to provide the right guidance to help me to see things clearly. I really appreciate his approach, and value his advice greatly.
"Always appreciate how down to earth Zalman is during our sessions"
From working with Zalman for 3 months he taught me techniques that changed my life for the better and allowed me to work through my problems myself. Teaching me how to identify where emotions come from and connecting with them has improved my self-esteem and relationships. I’ll always appreciate how down to earth Zalman is during our sessions, it isn’t overly formal and he makes it easy to be open with whatever problems you’re facing. Thank you so much for helping me to better myself.
"My life has taken a huge turn since I started therapy "
My life has taken a huge turn since I started therapy with Zalman. I felt heard by someone that genuinely cares. If you keep up with his ideas, you will see results. Extremely, extremely happy with my experience.
"In a much better headspace now than when I first started"
Zalman’s been super instrumental in helping me rewire my thoughts, figure out my deep issues that i never spent time to think about, and made me realize everything we feel has a reason to it. I also never realized the importance of truly feeling my feelings and validating myself. I’m so grateful for what ive learnt, and am in a much better headspace now than when I first started.
"I feel motivated and supported."
So far, Zalman has gotten straight to the point of my therapy goals with compassion, empathy and understanding, without even having completed a first session! Really looking forward to working with him and seeing my own progress. I feel motivated and supported.
"Truly cares about helping me to improve my issues"
Zalman is a fantastic therapist. I always feel heard and not judged. I think Zalman truly cares about helping me to improve my issues and I have faith in his expertise. He is also very accommodating of my appointment needs and is extremely responsive.
