Healing This Way founder Garrett Bennett dedicated himself to the quest of healing the mind naturally after experiencing a massive burnout and clinical depression around 2015 resulting from a variety of business stressors and followed by a series of traumas.  The resulting health issues became much worse once treatment started to take place under the Western Medical Model and no relief seemed possible.  The situation required a last resort effort it seemed and so the commitment of all life savings and time became the reality over the course of the next seven years.  The goal was simple, to learn what had occurred, and how to repair it.  The doorway that opened was larger than had ever been imagined, and evolved deep beyond healing mental illness and into what we are, who we are, and how to cultivate lives with maturity and wisdom in which we feel a sense of conscious control over ourselves freeing ourselves from our “matrix” like programs of reactivity.  Knowing most did not have the money, time, discipline or courage to seek for answers I wanted to create a space where the information became available to everyone.  To do this just over 7 years was spent in intensive self-study, as well as guided study under a PH.D. psychologist and two medical doctors, travelling to China to live in a Taoist Center studying Taiji, Qi Gong, Kung Fu and meditation.  Living monastically training in Vipassana centers within the United States, living with Benedictine monks to train and learn how they forgive and love unconditionally, travelling to the Caribbean to study plant medicine and integration techniques, all on top of a ten year background of wilderness adventure and conducting eco therapy events for groups such as the Wounded Warrior Program.  All aspects that seemed relevant to becoming a better person I would study and seek out.  While healing I knew I may be one of the few to directly experiment applying the methods to myself, while observing mind in ways no researcher could possibly have access to unless directly on that journey themselves.  The end result was the distilling down of 1000 years of ancient wisdom, applied by a recovering mental patient over the course of seven years, into two easy to understand and follow programs.  Our mental optimization program runs one hour a week, for eight total weeks.  Thirty minutes will be provided with a video tutorial followed by a direct coaching call for another 30 minutes to assure the technique is understood.  The rest of the week program success depends on you as the week must be used while also doing these practices.  The other track is for those needing mental recovery from a reactive standpoint, and will model the exact format with the exception that the recovery program is more intensive lasting 10 weeks.  The first number of weeks in the recovery program are techniques that consider a total lack of energy or even a bedridden nature and can still be completed.  In both programs only five total students are allowed to enroll in a track (8 or 10 weeks) so that the coaching is centered around a more personal nature where facilitation becomes focused on a more personal level.  As a result and due to such limited space please enroll well ahead of time if interested in a Healing This Way program.
