THE PARTICIPANTS HAVE SAID
- I just
wanted to let you know how helpful your stress management
program was for my office and most importantly for
one of my staff. Prior to taking the seminar she was
stressed, depressed, anxious, taking a lot of time
off of work and not working to her full potential.
She had been an employee of mine for over 20 years,
so I new what her potential was. I suggested your
stress management program to her. At first she was
a little leery and said “I don’t think it will help,
it’s probably a waste of your money.” I said, “what
do we have to loose”. Well she has had an about face
in her attitude since the course. She has once again
become a productive member of the office, has a great
attitude, is not taking time off of work and most
importantly she seems much happier with her entire
life. I would suggest that Dr. Comeau’s program would
be a great investment for any employer who has an
employee with any stress, anxiety or depression issues.

- My doctor
recommended that I attend Transform: A Personal Evolution
program to help with my anxiety and stress. For over
35 years I have been dealing with my stress, anxiety
and depression with various doctors, psychiatrists,
counselors, programs, drugs etc. I expected that this
program would not work, just like everything else
I tried. I was wrong. It was a life changing experience
to realize that I was not the only one who thought
and felt the way I did. Dr. Comeau’s explaination
of how we (as human beings) process the day to day
information of life gave me an understanding of how
I let my anxious thoughts take control of me (and
my relationships) over the years. The group process
enabled me feel normal for the first time. The program
gave me an approach to regain the emotional time that
I have lost through the past and enabled me to see
a future without the chains of those dark, all consuming,
negative and unhealthy thoughts.
F. M.
- I wanted
to take a moment once again to thank you for changing
my life. You have in all seriousness, opened my eyes
to a new way of looking at life, situations, people
and I finally have that empowerment back that I was
had in my earlier years. I was an absolute pessimist
about taking your program.
Our mutual friend encouraged me for a few years to
sign up but time after time I rejected it because
I wasn't a believer. It wasn't until I had a personal
physical scare (health related) that woke me up to
the fact that was time to take action. Your program
was a vehicle to help me on my journey to a happy
& healthy life. I now have the skills to deal
with situations and people differently. I am tuned
back into my "personal power zone" and am
taking on challenges that I would have never dared
to do previously. I still have my bouts of anxiety
but I deal with it differently now. I embrace it and
practice the skills that I learned in the program.
I have also come to realize through your guidance
that anxiety has been a key factor that has enabled
me to become successful in my career - that was a
real eye opener.
I no longer call my self a "perfectionist";
I have high standards - thanks to Max for that insight.
Everyone I talk to about stress and anxiety is an
opportunity for me to share the key to my turning
point in life - your program. Today is a gift that
is why it is called the present...stole the line but
this is how I am now living my life. You are an inspiration
and I am so glad that I had the opportunity to meet
you and your family. Thank you for kick starting my
transformation process. Please feel free to use this
as a testimonial. I have and will continue to sing
your praises - thank you once again.
Joanne T.
- I was
apprehensive to attend this 8 week session. My thoughts
told me that people attending would think I was in
fact, “crazy”. What I’ve learned is that many individuals,
from all walks of life suffer from stress, anxiety
and panic. It was the power of the group with the
guidance of Dr. Comeau that has given me a new self
confidence. Dr. Comeau taught me how to take control
of my thoughts, and hence, the stress and anxiety
becomes manageable. I have a new outlook on my life
and have encouraged others in my family and at work
to take this wonderful opportunity to begin to “start
living”. An excellent 8 weeks!
Linda W.
- I didn't
think I had anxiety! I thought it was all stress.
All I knew is that I felt "stuck". I was
unhappy with my job and life in general. When I read
about Dr. Comeau being a "Transformation Strategist"
I was intrigued. I went to his website and I did the
2-minute mental health assessment. Turns out I checked
marked most of the boxes! I decided to take his course.
I wanted to feel better.
During
the program I realized that I had been experiencing
anxiety my entire life and I had in fact, had anxiety
and panic attacks. I realized that the effects of
anxiety, anxiety attacks and panic attacks were
having a terrible impact on my personal and work
life, as well as with my health. Anxiety had been
a normal state of being for me. Thanks to this seminar
series and the materials we used, I became aware
my problems in this area. Once I knew what my problems
were, I could do something about it. Since the "course"
I made a major career decision which is in my best
interest rather than doing what everyone else expects
me to do. I have started taking better care of myself,
trying to eat better and excerising regularly. I
feel great, I have no more muscle tension, I no
longer lack focus, my IBS has settled, I'm sleeping
well. I have begun communicating more openly with
the people who are close to me and this has increased
the value of the relationships. This is not to say
that there is no more stress in my life, but now
I have the tools to manage it. I'm happy to say
I am feeling like myself! Thanks Dr. C,
Donna
- Leaving
my relationship of five years, my home that I had
known for five years and my job as a supply teacher
in the Bluewater District School Board brought me
back home to Burlington completely overwhelmed and
depressed. I knew I had to start again but I wasn't
sure how. I enrolled in Dr. K. Comeau's anxiety course
because it was a stepping to stone to getting my life
back in order. What I didn't know is how much I would
get out of the course. It gave me courage to get back
into the workforce within two weeks as a supply teacher.
Within the eight weeks of the course I was putting
my systems in place to get my life back in order.
I made 3 goals at the Dr. Comeau anxiety course and
I am on my way to achieving them. Dr. Comeau's anxiety
course made me get real very fast and I am healthier
and happier than ever and I most likely will be back
to do another eight week course with Dr. Comeau because
I need to see my existing goals through and make new
ones. The support and the vital information I received
helped me enormously and I am very happy that I had
the courage to seek help through Dr. Comeau.
The most important piece of information I learned
was to share my experience with people who I trust
and who are important to me. It was then that I realized
what an important person I am and that I am not alone.
I learned that to keep everything bottled up inside
is selfish and that to open up and be honest with
myself was the first step to feeling better again.
Thank you so much Dr. Comeau.
Katie N.
- I have
been dealing with stress, anxiety and panic attacks
for most of my adult life. I found myself worrying
about everything. I was also on medication and I wanted
to get my life back to normal. I heard about Dr. Comeau’s
course through the newspaper. What I learned most
of all from the program was that many people have
the same issues that I do, and most people just live
with it. What I also learned was that it was my thoughts
that controlled my stress, anxiety and panic attacks,
and I could change my thoughts and subsequently my
anxiety and panic attacks. I am very excited about
this. The program has changed my life and how I am
in my work and at home. My wife is happier too. It
was one of the best investments I have ever made .
Senior Executive In Financial Services
- When I
first began attending your Anxiety and Depression
seminar I was very skeptical that I would see any
changes in my life. But at the insistence of my wife
I carried on. As you know, skepticism is a natural
state for me and I’m not all that open to new ideas.
However, after attending 3-4 classes my outlook slowly
began to change.
As I began to take a deeper look at my situation and
those that I affect around me my understanding of
my problem became much clearer. This could only happen
as a result of the interaction I had with the other
participants in the class. When I openly talked with
the other people I started to slowly realize that
my own situation was not as desperate as I had thought.
Yet my situation had to be addressed. The teachings
in the class gave me tools to deal with not only my
own feelings but enabled me to see my family in a
completely different light. Nine months later my wife
sees changes for the better that I didn’t think were
possible.
The changes in my life also extended to my work environment
as well. Few people knew what I was going through
the past few years. They just assumed I was cold and
indifferent. My business partner thought something
was wrong but could never pinpoint it and basically
left me alone because I was still fairly productive
for the company. I was simply too embarrassed to tell
him or anyone else. His reaction when I told him and
his support thereafter really surprised me. However,
I should not have been surprised knowing that like
myself he had gone through similar issues. It spoke
to his character and brought great comfort to me.
I’m feeling like I’ve started a new life with tremendous
possibilities all around me. Nothing in life is perfect
and who knows what is around the corner. But I do
know this: this change would not have been possible
without me attending your course and the support you
have given me over the years. I simply want to convey
my gratitude and heartfelt thanks.
Mike C
-
My life
was full of constant worrying, sleeplessness and
anxiety, related to my new position at work and
home life. I needed and wanted a better life. I
found out about Transform: A Personal Evolution
through our local newspaper. I signed up for the
course because I was loosing control of my life
and my emotions. The program was truly amazing.
It changed the way I saw my life and the world.
Since completing the program I feel calmer and more
in control of my life. I'm happier knowing I can
choose my attitude and positively influence others
through my actions and reactions. I realized how
important it is to take care of my own needs so
that I can give my best to the important people
in my life (kids, spouse, students). I feel less
worried and stressed about what the future holds.
I know I am in control of my life. I feel empowered
to live a better life.
Susan K
- I was
experiencing stress and panic attacks and was struggling
what to do to address the situation. I came across
an article in the Oakville Beaver about Dr. Comeau’s
Transform: A Personal Evolution program. The article
appealed to me because I needed to find a better way
to cope with my stress, anxiety and panic. I registered
immediately. Through the program, I learned that am
not alone in having these feelings and thoughts. I
was amazed to find out the large percentage of people
that suffer from stress, anxiety, panic attacks and
mild to moderate depression to varying degrees. During
the program, I also learned the principles and techniques
to help me cope and manage my stress and reduce the
frequency and magnitude of my stress, anxiety and
panic attacks. This program gave me a fresh new perspective,
a feeling that I can manage myself better to avoid/reduce
anxiety and stress. It has helped me to feel like
my old self again, even my wife has told me that she
thinks that I am better, happier and more easy to
be with compared to 3 months ago. I feel Transform:
A Personal Evolution has given me back my life and
helped me control my emotions and actions. I am so
much more happier with these tools, knowledge and
skills.
D. B.
- I have
been dealing with stress, anxiety and panic attacks
for most of my adult life. I found myself worrying
about everything. In taking Dr. Comeau’s course, I
realized that am I creating my current life and my
future, one thought at a time. I have also come to
realize that I am responsible for my thoughts and
my life. The program has changed my life in a way
that I now think more clearly and make better decisions
for myself. My family is more relaxed around me. The
greatest thing I have learned is that its not what
happens to you, its what you do about it.
Maria B.
- For the
past few years I have struggled with stress, anxiety,
and panic attacks. I have managed through other means
(reading, talking to people, etc..) to get some awareness
of my problems and how to manage my life fairly well.
I felt that by taking the course it would give me
further insight into what lifestyle changes would
benefit my overall health and happiness.
I also thought that the group atmosphere would be
interesting. I have learned many things from the Stress
and Anxiety program. I learned that I really was a
negative thinker and that I needed to work on having
a more positive thought process. I learned many things
that I do, eat, drink and smoke that contribute to
my stress and anxiety. The course has changed and
influenced my life in several ways: I have made lifestyle
changes that have contributed to me feeling better.
I have made relationship changes that have eased my
frustrations and upsets with others in my life. I've
taken up meditation. I'm trying to be more aware of
my thoughts, I've created a less hectic lifestyle
for myself and my children, I'm now aware of my anxiety
symptoms and try not to let them scare me. I'm making
an effort to communicate more effectively with my
family members and co-workers. As a result, I feel
that I'm a better Mom / Wife and overall a more insightful
person. Perhaps one of the greatest things about the
course is the people who took the course and the group
work that we did together. At first I was uncomfortable
about the thought of having to be in a group and being
expected to talk about my issues. That changed within
the first half of the first session. I really looked
forward to talking to the other members of the group.
I found it very helpful to listen to their stories
and to know that many other people are going through
the same thing. I also found the guest speakers to
be very inspirational. This course has taught me that
life will happen one way or the other...but it's how
we choose to react to what is happening that is the
most important.
J.G.
- I was
tired of letting the stresses of life take control
of my mind and dictate the way I was feeling and reacting
not only at work, but also at home with my family.
I knew that if I didn't take control of "it",
it would continue to gain more control over me!! Through
the teachings of Dr Comeau and the many guest speakers,
I learned that there are many different ways that
I can control, and more importantly CHANGE these feelings
and thoughts. Whether it was learning how the mind
works, or learning various relaxation methods, or
learning how the impact of what you eat and drink
can affect how you feel, or how to train your mind
to be more positive; I think that a combination of
all these techniques has brought me to a much better
& happier place in my life and with my family.
Through this process I have become more positive.
I have learned to be able to "roll with the punches
of life" and not let it take control over my
mind....or at least not long term like it used to
before. Dr. Comeau’s program has influenced my life
immensely! I can honestly say that after seeing several
councilors in the past, (all of which had "some"
positive impact) none have taught me as many usable
and valuable techniques as I have learned in Dr Comeau's
class. I also learned that I am not alone having the
thoughts and feeling of stress that I had, and that
in itself was reassuring.
James K
- I had
been looking for a program for a while to help me
with my frequent anxiety and panic attacks. I was
losing my temper a lot and crying out of the blue.
It seemed as if these feelings would never end. It
got to a point where my mind could not relax. My relationship
was suffering and I felt like these feelings were
never going to end. A friend of my girlfriend found
the ad for the program in the paper and I thought
I would give it a try. The program ended up changing
the way I live out my life. The most valuable thing
I learned from Dr. Comeau’s program what that I am
not alone and that what stresses, pressures, worries,
anxieties and panic that I am going through, is experienced
my many other normal people. I also learned that it
is a comfort to have a group of people to talk to
every week that understand how I am feeling. I learned
that there are ways to help myself recognize my thought
patterns and correct them to bring positivity back
into my life. The program has also helped me to stop
feeling embarassed about how I felt. I am more positive
and am able to better control my feelings and negative
thoughts. It has helped my family and friends understand
what I am going through better. I have a new set of
vocabulary to communicate with others. It has improved
my relationships with them by improving communication
between us. Being able to be honest about my condition
has been a major relief for all of us. I have learned
that I am the source of my own solution but I now
have an effective set of tools to make my way towards
that solution. This course has given me a whole new
toolbox to work with. It has been excellent.
Mark S.
- My stress,
anxiety and depression had started to control my life.
When I finally admitted to myself that I needed help,
one of my decisions was to enroll in Dr. Comeau's
anxiety course. During the course, I have learned
about the emotional and physical reasons behind the
way I think and feel. I learned that I was not the
only one who felt this way. I learned a lot about
myself and how other people think and operate. The
program made me aware of myself and how my choices
and interactions reflect and determine the quality
of my life, and my relationships around me. I feel
more positive than I have in a very long time about
the future and the people I will choose to share that
with. I am also more confident about my ability to
cope with the unpredictable things that will come
up in the future. The greatest thing I learned...........
was that anxiety and panic are the physical symptoms
of a body under emotional stress, and that it is possible
to develop a system of support with tools that will
help not only control the immediate fear and worry,
but will help me better deal with other problem areas
in my life, such as my job and certain relationships.
Kathy B.
- I saw
the article about Transform: A Personal Evolution
in the Burlington Post several times. I wanted to
take the program, but felt embarrassed of myself.
Finally, I made the decision and picked up the phone
and committed to attend it. I had been suffering from
anxiety, panic and depression for more than 20 years.
Until I found this program, I thought that I was doomed.
Through Dr. Comeau’s program I learned how to change
my thinking process. I learned things about myself
that I didn't realize before. I had been feeling like
an unaccomplished, miserable person. Now I realize
that I can do with my life whatever I want to do.
This is a huge breakthrough for me. My husband is
really happy that I took the course also.
I feel happier, so does my husband. The greatest thing
that I learned from this course and Dr. Comeau was
that all the stress, anxiety, panic and depression
that I have felt and experienced has been a result
of my thoughts, and that I have the ability to change
my thoughts around anything in my life. Easy as that
sounds, knowing this is the most powerful tool.
Change your thoughts, and you change everything. Every
class was full of wonderful information and confirmed
to me that I wasn't alone, I wasn't crazy. I also
learned of many options to aid in my recovery. I'll
always want to keep working on making my mind work
in a positive way and try different strategies along
the way. The cost of this course is minimal compared
to the amount of help and insight I've gained. It
proves that Dr. Comeau is truly dedicated to help
people. Thanks a million, Dr. Comeau!
Andrea
- Dr. Comeau,
I want you to know that I feel your Transform: A Personal
Evolution program has been very worthwhile to me and
I truly feel it has given me a much greater awareness
about stress and anxiety along with practical tools
to help me cope better. I feel that you are very credible
in that you too have experienced this. I applaud you
on your efforts to share your teachings/learnings
and your true commitment to help others who have also
experienced stress and anxiety to varying degrees.
Perhaps the thing from the program that has had the
greatest impact on me is the notion that about 10
percent in the stress in our lives results from the
events that occur in real life, and the other 90 percent
of stress results from the way we choose to react
to those events. Our reactions to these events, of
course, being heavily influenced by our thoughts and
attitudes.
Chris H
- I had
been depressed on and off for almost 15 years. Thankfully,
I haven’t been depressed for two years. At the same
time, however, I still continued to seek a big piece
to the puzzle. For example, I was unable to find a
viable answer to my anxiety disorder, which became
progressively worse. Over the years, I have completed
a great deal of personal self-work in my quest to
achieve wellness and a better life. I have also been
on medication and received therapy from a variety
of medical professionals. They each played a key role.
But again, something was clearly missing. I then inquired
about Dr. Comeau’s stress and anxiety management course.
I truly believe that things happen for a reason. Or
when the student is ready—the teacher will appear.
Dr. Comeau is a teacher and more. In the span of a
few short weeks—his course has made a valued difference.
Dr. Comeau and his invited guest speakers talk in
a way—and you get it. Their message sinks in and the
homework keeps you focused. They’re regular people
like the rest of us—not somebody working the speaker
circuit—with a gift that includes insight, experience
and caring. The take a ways from the course are many,
including a subtle and respectful, but necessary kick
in the pants from Dr. Comeau when needed. I also really
enjoyed being able to talk one-on-one with other people
taking the course, while realizing at the same time
that I’m not alone with my anxiety. Dr. Comeau says
that to make progress and enact positive change requires
dedication, hard work and practice—and he’s right.
It’s important for me to remain diligent, as I battle
my way through anxiety. I’m in control now and I’ll
ultimately succeed. This knowledge in itself is a
golden moment. I would also like to congratulate my
fellow course members for having the courage and wisdom
to face their anxiety and panic-related challenges.
Someone once told me that the only way out—is in.
Everyone should be very proud of themselves. I really
enjoyed getting to know you. Standing in the light
feels amazing. Thank you Dr. Comeau.
Rob, Journalist
- The program
didn't really have a life altering affect on me, I
am still the bitch I was. - hence no testimonial.
BUT I can say the following:
“The Program is low-key and non-intimidating. Although
I was aware of many of the tools to deal with anxiety
& stress introduced in the program; it certainly
highlighted them and increased my awareness of their
simplicity. I have recommended the program to many
people I work with at our local hospital”
G.S.
- I am a
23 year old University graduate who is currently enrolled
in a post graduate program and have suffered from
anxiety my entire life. However I was in denile for
many many years, I only came to terms with it in December
when I could not handle my work load at school and
was experiencing constant panic attacks. I realized
I had turned into this sad, angry, anti-social person
which is not my personality. I was convinced to take
this course by my doctor and my Mum, and am I ever
glad I listened to them. My biggest concern when entering
this course was that I would be the youngest there
and would be centered out or not taken seriously.
This was not the case, everyone is seen as equal and
if anything I was so glad I was handling my anxiety
at my age and not waiting 10 years when it would only
be worse.
This course has given me the strategies I need
to better handle my anxiety and have been panic
attack free for a month now. The course also gave
me a way to explain my anxiety to the important
people in my life so they could better understand
what was going on in my body. This was also very
important to me because it is so hard to explain
everything to people yet so frustrating for them
because they were trying so hard understand and
to help me.
Haley
S.
- I heard
about Dr. Comeau's stress and anxiety management seminars
through a friend of a friend. I thought it sounded
like something I may be interested in, and put it
in the back of my mind for a later time. After learning
that the next session was starting in January 2007,
I contacted this friend to see if she would recommend
taking this course myself. She assured me that it
was, and after hesitating until the final hour, I
signed up right at the deadline.
After
attending the first session, I knew that I had done
the right thing for me, at the right time. I had
been suffering from my anxiety for the past 12 years,
and I wanted to deal with it, and understand it
more. I didn't want to tolerate it anymore.I was
curious to find out more each week about the transformation
process and how it would affect me personally. I
soon learned about thoughts, choices, and attitude,
and especially enjoyed hearing from the Doctor,
and the guest speakers about their own personal
journeys and experiences.
I have been living the past three years in crisis
and turmoil, and this course came at a crucial time,
as I explore the transition phase to living a fulfilling
life, while honouring my own truths. I learned how
important it is to keep your personal power, and
to have self love. This course has been a wonderful
support system, which helped me to keep moving forward,
rather than spiral down to a negative place. I believe
in myself, I believe in this course, and I am living
life on my own terms.
S.T.
- When I
first began attending your Stress and Anxiety seminar
I was very skeptical that I would see any changes
in my life. But at the insistence of my wife I carried
on. Skepticism is a natural state for me and I'm not
all that open to new ideas. However, after attending
3-4 classes my outlook slowly began to change.
As I

this change would not have been possible without
me attending your course and utilizing the tools
you taught us. I simply want to convey my gratitude
and heartfelt thanks.

- Dr. Comeau’s
program is nothing short of transformative. It is
a powerful process that provided me with both the
awareness and skills of my anxiety/stress and the
toll it was taking on my life. Prior to my participation
in the program I wasn’t aware that I had anxiety attacks.
I thought it was all depression. The program gave
me the toolbox I desperately needed to take control
of my life. Dr. Comeau is a true humanitarian dedicated
to the well being of others and our community. This
is your life and your time. Don’t waste another minute
of it with anxiety and undue stress. Take this course
and recapture the joy of living!
Michelle
B.
- I am
not a fan of group sessions and therefore, it was
with a lot of reluctance that I pushed myself to attend
Dr. Comeau’s seminar. The first thing I noticed about
Dr. Comeau was that he talks to you (as opposed to
down to you) and is genuinely interested in each and
every person getting the most out of his 8 week program.
I didn’t realize that I did suffer from anxiety, and
the relationship that it has with stress and depression.
The group setting quickly makes you realize…that you
are not alone! You are in control of your stress/anxiety/depression,
and it is largely controlled by the way that you react
to the many obstacles that life throws at you. Your
attitude is completely proprietary and as such, you
must learn to embrace it each and every day. It way
refreshing to learn that we are in control of our
own well being.
Peter
S
- The Stress
Management course gave me the ultimate gift-Control
of my Life. The rewards from the sessions were beyond
anything I could imagine. It has literally changed
my outlook on life. The sessions provided me with
the necessary skills and insights to take control
of my life…to control my anxieties and fears. What
an incredible feeling that is!!! The sessions also
taught me to be completely honest with myself and
to take responsibility for my actions.
S.N.
- I have
always been a “Worry Wart” and thought this was just
my personality and I couldn’t do anything about it.
Since taking the course with Dr. Comeau I find I now
recognize my anxiety straight away and deal with it
by using the tools he taught us. Some of the things
that used to be devastating to me now look quite silly
and I am now able to actually laugh at these things
with my husband. My life is much more enjoyable now.
Lynette
C.
- My husband
and I learned so much from Dr. Comeau’s Stress Transform
program. Most importantly, we got the tools to change
the way we think and have a fresh outlook on our relationships,
ourselves and our lives. It has been wonderful and
enlightening!! We came away with so much more than
we ever would have imagined.

the workshop as I had just been diagnosed with General
Anxiety Disorder (GAD). At first I was not too interested
and then as I continued to struggle with GAD I realized
I needed all the help and resources I could get.
I was nervous at first but after a few sessions
my comfort level rose dramatically. By the end I
looked forward to the weekly session and regretted
the ending of the workshop. As far as benefits,
the workshop enable me to focus on my needs and
increased my self-awareness and self-analytic abilities,
which had a very positive outcome on dealing with
GAD. Over the duration of the workshop my ability
to deal with anxiety and stress improved greatly
and I am still using the techniques discussed today.
I think what you are doing is tremendous and makes
a positive impact on the lives of those who are
dealing with stress and anxiety as well as for their
families.
M.D.
- Having
been diagnosed with a life-threatening disease I needed
to find some strategies to help both my family and
myself cope with the situation. Transform: A Personal
Evolution gave me the focus I needed to eliminate
the "chaff" in my life and to value the
"wheat". It empowered me to make the important
decisions that drive my daily life, to live in the
moment, to share my joy and pain and to love my life.

D.
- Dr. Comeau's
course was excellent! I've suffered from depression
on and off for over 20 years but knew very little
about anxiety. So I was skeptical that I was right
for this course let alone that it would be much help.
The information presented helped me to realize that
I did indeed have anxiety disorder and that my depression
was a result of it. I learned that the way I think
was causing my anxiety and that changing the way I
think would in turn take control of the anxiety rather
than it control me. This course has been life-changing.
I feel better, look better, have better relationships
with family and friends and am loving discovering
my authentic self!
Michelle
S.
- I found
your introductory class very good because you shared
personal experiences which certainly brought a comfort
level to someone like me who was feeling quite isolated
at the time. Quite honestly, that first session was
dependent on whether or not I would have completed
the series. Thank you. My sister is very enjoying
the current session.
S.R.
- The
following is a participants comment on one of the
Seminar Series Guest Speakers.
Hearing Max Konigsberg speak last night was worth
the price of the course. In a few short minutes, he
earned my admiration.
I will
never have to hear another lecture on attitude,
hearing your fiatharindavds words of wisdom, will
be with me for the rest of my life. If I never hear
another lecture on attitude, it won't matter. I've
heard the best one that there will ever be.
Thank
you for having him speak. It has made a difference
in my life and attitude already!

-
Dr. Comeau
your course was fabulous. It has changed the way
I see myself, my life and the world around me. I
am better, happier and healthier now. Thank you.
Theresa
H.
- I was
on a path feeling unhappy, unmotivated, isolated,
scared and this had been building over time. I didn't
know how to help myself - where to start? This seminar
sounded like it could help, but I was skeptical. I
started to feel better after the first session and
the book was an excellent tool. I am a better person
today because of the many tools I learned I could
use through this seminar.
Sharon
- It changed
my life. I now have a whole different outlook and
optimism about the future. Realizing that I am the
one responsible for the gaps in my life has been extremely
powerful and liberating. I find I am at greater peace
with myself and have stopped the constant worry and
anxiety that has plagued me for many years.
Robert
D.
- I enjoyed
your seminar so much I am coming back for the next
session. I have learned many valuable strategies to
help me cope with daily challenges in my life. I thank
you form the bottom of my heart.
J.M.
- The thing
I got most out of Dr. Comeau’s program was that I
was not the only one who felt and thought the way
I do. It was the group setting that helped me the
most.
T.
S.
- When I
was young I was called "shy" by many people.
Some often said I would grow out of it. Well I didn't
grow out of it and my shyness developed into a social
anxiety problem. I began to avoid any situation that
I thought might make me feel uncomfortable. This program
has taught me how to change my internal state. That
is to recognize how my negative thoughts and fears
lead to anxiety and stress. By learning to think and
react differently I am developing a new self-confidence.
Fran
M.
- You and
your seminar series helped me to pull myself out of
a deep black hole and sat me in the sunshine. You
have a real talent and you seemed to be tuned into
every one in the room. You have obviously found your
authentic self. This is your forté. I have
learned to stop ruminating about the past and yearning
for what I will never have and to look forward to
the future. You saved my life.
Eda
M.
- From
Dr. Comeau’s Stress and Anxiety Management seminars
I learned that I am responsible for how I feel. I
had no idea! I have always been very negative, but
now I am learning to think more positive and have
kinder “self talk”. I have been my worst enemy. I
now know I can have a better life.
Debbie
D.
- Through
Dr. Comeau's program, I have learned and come to decisions
on many areas of my life that I need to change. I
have already seen the benefits with some of my important
relationships. I really enjoyed the guest speakers.
They really added to my learning about myself through
their personal experiences.
Rebecca
S.
- I was
not able to recognize the negative impact that stress
and anxiety was truly having in my life, both mentally
and physically. Through attending Dr. Comeau's Seminar
Series"... I not only have gained extremely inspirational
knowledge, but I have acquired my new life saving
strategies. I now have the understanding and support
structures in place to begin my new journey. Striving
to be more compassionate with myself and beginning
to manage and control my life more effectively. Thank
you Dr. Comeau for making a difference in my life.
Deanne
- I have
read self-help and spiritual books most of my adult
life, but only after attending Transform: A Personal
Evolution, have I had the confidence to get on with
my life. I am happier and at peace with myself since
I found out how to manage my rage and temper that
I have endured through my life. My mind has been awaked
to life like never before. What a blessing this has
been for me.
Marilyn
K.
- I have
to admit that before taking the Seminar Series that
I was a bit skeptical. I have dealt with anxiety for
over 30 years of my life, and doubted that an 8 week
program could really help. Within the first few weeks,
I had learned things about myself I had never either
admitted or realized! By giving me the tools to be
more conscious of what my anxiety was doing to me
and how to control my reactions, I have just begun
to live my life! I'm happier, I've found passion again
in everything I do, and I now have a much more positive
outlook on life.
Wade
W.
- I don't
know how to tell you how profoundly I have been affected
by these past few months of group and private sessions
with you. I'm better; so much better than I
thought possible. Your words and insights have cleared
a path for me that is filled with hope, possibility
and a future that shines.
Rob
V.
- I have
suffered from anxiety and depression for at least
14 years. The previous doctors I had been to only
medicated me, and I assume they thought it would "magically"
go away. Dr. Comeau taught me that medication can
be good, but will only mask the problem. Transform:
A Personal Evolution gave me the tools and knowledge
to use everyday to take back control of my life. The
group was AM AZING... it was so great to know I was
not alone! Dr. Comeau's commitment and passion to
the mental health of group members shows in every
workshop. I now look forward to the life ahead of
me, and I have you to thank.
Tiffanie
S.
- My thinking,
my lifestyle and my anxiety contributed to the fact
that I had three heart attacks before my 42nd birthday.
Thank you Dr. Comeau for your help. Your program helped
me to learn and control my thinking, my lifestyle
and my anxiety. I am now more alive, happier and fulfilled
than I have ever been in my life. My wife and children
are very thankful for that.
Michael
S.
- Dr. Comeau
is an open-minded and caring facilitator who made
everyone in our group feel worthwhile and capable
of transforming their lives. My life was at a standstill
and I was coping with anxiety by removing all the
stresses in my life. I was not challenging myself
in any way, I had no job, and was staying home alone.
I knew I was slipping into depression and that I wanted
more out of my life but did not know how to change
things. Within just the first few weeks I had made
positive changes in my life, and the tools and support
I received from this program are helping to empower
me to design and LIVE the life I want!
Chris
M.
- I needed
to thank you again. It was a wonderful experience
and I learned so much from your Seminar Series. I
am stronger, happier, and more at peace with my self
than I have ever been, thanks to you and Transform:
A Personal Evolution in transcending stress. There
are only a selected few who can do something like
this, and because of your passion and desire, many
people will certainly benefit from your wisdom and
teachings.
Cathy
S.
- Everyone
experiences some level of stress and anxiety, but
what is it and where does it come from? By creating
a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere, Dr. Comeau incorporates
a variety of interesting strategies which get you
to look at where you are and where you want to be.
Make a commitment, stick to it, anything is possible!
Mike
K.
- I was
no happier in my second marriage than my first. When
I got out of the second marriage, I was still not
happy. I was constantly experiencing my heart racing,
feeling very nervous and convinced I was going to
die. After beginning my work with you Dr. Comeau,
I realized that it was anxiety. This anxiety thing
was running my whole life. IT NO LONGER IS since I
have been doing Transform: A Personal Evolution. I
now have big goals and am excited about my future
for the first time.
Cathryn
F.
- Before
Transform: A Personal Evolution I understood a little
about anxiety and panic. After completing the Seminar
Series I now have tools to help me move ahead and
transform my life to gain more satisfaction and peace.
Kim
J.
- After
years of upset, anger, road rage, back and neck pain
and upset within my family, I finally realized I had
an anxiety problem. In doing your program I learned
where this anxiety came from and how to turn it around.
Today I am not angry, I don't have road rage, my neck
and back pain have disappeared and my family is happier
than it has ever been and the people who work for
me, appreciate me more.
Mike
C.
- For as
long as I can remember, I have striven for an unrealistic
standard of perfection that I believed would allow
me to control the world around me. The pressure that
I have put on myself has given me professional success
but consequentially has manifested itself into physical
health problems. As difficult as it was, I admitted
that I had an anxiety problem that I could not fix
on my own and that I needed help. Being a patient
of Dr. Comeau's for nearly 20 years I trusted his
recommendation to enroll in Transform: A Personal
Evolution. Not being a fan of group therapy I skeptically
attended the first class and within minutes, I felt
a sense of relief and comfort to hear stories from
other people that had the same battles with anxiety.
I continued to attend the Program and after each meeting
I felt stronger with a more positive outlook on my
life. I have come a long way with the assistance of
the Program and I have a lot of work ahead of me but
with the tools that Dr. Comeau has taught me I have
a more positive attitude and foresee happiness in
the future. I can't thank Dr. Comeau enough for everything
he has done. He has truly dedicated himself to helping
people and thanks to him I have realized that my anxiety
has made me the person that I am today and it is a
gift that has made me successful in my career but
at the same time needs to be managed to make me successful
in life. Thanks to Dr. Comeau, I am on my way to getting
my life back.
Janelle
W.
- For twenty
years I have known Dr. Comeau as my physician. Previously,
I was hiding under resignation, anger, dissatisfaction
and anxiety. I thought that I was fine. I was just
not alive. My physical condition saw me have many
near death experiences. As a result, I hid more. I
have taken this program. My life, attitude and physical
well being has dramatically transformed. I have returned
to society, employment and relationships with a new
energy. I love where I am and my relatives, friends,
work associates and new acquaintances absorb my positively.
Dr. Comeau provided the necessary guidance, support
and direction for me. THANK-You Dr. Comeau.
Bob
H.
- “I have
suffered with anxiety and panic attacks most of my
life. Many health issues that I suffer from, such
as high blood pressure and now diabetes are the direct
result of not handling stress properly. Since taking
Transform: A Personal Evolution, my life has changed
dramatically. I now understand the root of all my
stress and anxiety, and have the proper tools to deal
with the stress before it develops in to anxiety and
panic. I also have a more positive attitude towards
life, which has also enabled me to better control
my diabetes without medicine.”
Peter
S.
- “About
three years ago, I suffered some setbacks in my business,
lost family members that were dear to me and went
through some very complicated family times. I found
out what it was like to experience stress, anxiety,
panic and depression. I sought the aid of Dr. Comeau
and his Transform: A Personal Evolution educational
series. The program provided me with the tools to
deal with my worries and insecurities, and take positive
actions when faced with overwhelming issues. It also
provided me with a new source of support through the
incredible people who joined the program with me.”
Bert
B.
- “I had
family problems and many issues with my teenage daughter.
It gave me a great deal of stress and anxiety. Since
taking Transform: A Personal Evolution with Dr. Comeau
and the group, my life has calmed significantly. I
have had an attitude change. Issues are handled very
differently now. My life is much happier.”
