Bruno immensely improved and perhaps even saved my life. He is the most skilled, compassionate, transformative therapist I've worked with. If it weren't for him, I would still be trapped in patterns that were sabotaging my relationships, mental health, and wellbeing.
When I first came to him, I felt broken. I struggled to cope with grieving a breakup, career transition, relocation, depression, anxiety, sexual trauma, ED, familial dysfunction, and codependency. I was skeptical that therapy could pull me out of the hole I found myself in. Bruno, however, proved me wrong with every session. His process is different from any other therapist I've worked with. He listened intently and learned the intricacies of the story that made up my life. The characters, events, themes, climaxes, conclusions; he absorbed it all. He noticed the subtleties of my body language and reflected how my trauma influenced the way I communicated and expressed myself. After just a few sessions, I began to drop the act that I had been holding on to for so long. He made me feel like I didn't have to filter everything I said and did. He allowed me to take off the mask I wore for the world and just be for a while.
Bruno helped me gain trust in others and myself. For perhaps the first time, I was honest about everything that had happened to me and how it made me feel. He noticed when I was holding back emotion and patiently gave me space to feel it. Bruno guided me to move through trauma that I historically refused to look at with techniques such as EMDR. He reminded me of my intrinsic worth and encouraged me to create boundaries that allowed me to feel safe and my life to feel sustainable.
Bruno is incredibly wise. His lessons echo through me to my friends and acquaintances. I often quote his "brunoisms" in difficult situations. He has deep understanding of the human condition and a way of making you feel as if everything going to be okay. Throughout our sessions, Bruno weaves together anecdotes, stories, mantras, and metaphors to help shift my self-limiting perspective. He's inspired me to change my mind about myself, what I deserve, and what I'm capable of. Because of Bruno, I have finally let go of an unhealthy relationship that haunted me for the past five years. I have established a routine that makes life feel manageable and develop relationships that are more reciprocal. I still have struggles of course; however, now I feel as if I can overcome them.
I've gained more healing in this past couple months of working with Bruno than I have in my entire life. If you have the opportunity to work with Bruno Lepore, please don't hesitate. You'll be grateful you did.
Thank you, Bruno. read more
