Gaining Strength After Trauma: The Path to Resilience

My journey of gaining strength after trauma and finding the path to resilience started on January 19, 2007. This was a pivotal moment that shattered the world I knew. During that time, I found myself unconscious as my former spouse, dealing with his own struggles, made a distressing call to the authorities. He faced his demons in a tragic manner, leaving me in a state of shock and fear. The subsequent response from law enforcement only intensified the situation, resulting in his passing.

A Path to Resilience

Following that fateful day, the aftermath was overwhelming. The lingering shock, trauma, and haunting memories of our final moments together kept me trapped in a distressing cycle. I battled with debilitating thoughts, questioning my past decisions and actions that led to his tragic choice. This journey weighed heavily on both my emotional well-being and my financial stability.

Empowered Decisions

Faced with a crossroads, I had two distinct options: seek refuge with my family in Hungary while numbing my pain with unhealthy coping mechanisms, or embark on a journey of healing. I chose the latter, embracing ChronoPath Therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming and hypnosis as my means to recovery. Today, I stand in a place of contentment, health, success, and loving marriage. It is this personal transformation that fueled my pursuit of NLP certification.

My aspiration is to guide others past their own trauma, foster better internal and external communication, and break free from obstructive thought patterns that hinder their personal and professional growth. My journey on the path of resilience involved battling demons of trauma, anxiety, abuse, relationship challenges, and PTSD – challenges that I emerged victorious from.

I have no words to describe the relationship I built with Anita: She’s someone I consider from my family now! I have seen Anita for about 6 months, and she helps me dealing with anxiety, depression, panic attacks since the beginning… I’ve been able to deal with a lot of traumas from my past and move on. I know I can discuss everything about my life with her and she shows me how positive any situation can be, how I’m growing mentally and spiritually. I’m stronger than ever before! We forget how this “inner cleanse” is so important to our mind and soul, so if you have this daily support/advices from Anita, I believe nothing will stop you from growing and achieving what you want. :)

Anita, you are amazing!! I a 22 (M) have been seeing Anita for about a year now. I just enjoy having her as someone to talk too. When leaving I am super goal-oriented and focused, I also find that I am very connected with myself and also others. My first talk with Anita came in, I rather felt lost, confused and angry. We together were able to pinpoint my deep down issues all the way from high school, sorting everything out and even completely erasing all my big insecurities. Currently Anita is really helping me with my career, we are able to map it all out putting me on the right track moving forward. She is constantly bringing out who I am, showing what I can really achieve, showing myself improving day in and day out. She's there to help me through the bad times and enhance the good ones. I'm able to talk to her about relationship advice, work Issues, Career paths, family or anything that is on my mind. Now this isn't easy as Anita really forces you to think, even in ways you have never been thinking before, but Anita is very smart. Anita really knows a lot about the human brain and how everything works. When leaving I know my goals what I have to work on, focusing on removing my bad habits and bringing out all my good ones.Anita I am blessed to have you throughout this journey much Love

Working with Anita has been a joy and pleasure! She is very easy to talk to and connect with. She is understanding and really knows the neurological side of human behavior. Her style is gentle and efficient and effective. I grew soo much in just 6 weeks of working with her and she also provides a tremendous value for her services! If you are thinking of hiring her you won’t regret it!

Words can’t really describe what Anita has helped me overcome. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. She goes far above & beyond what you would expect of her. The best part about her is that she truly cares about you. That part means the most to me. I’ve already referred her to my loved ones & will keep sending them because the work she does is so profound. Anita, I am truly grateful for your work. Thank you!

Anita is magical and truly a beautiful person. I immediately felt like she was the coach I not only wanted, but needed when I spoke with her over the phone the first time. She is very intuitive, kind, empathetic, and encouraging. If you’re looking for someone to not only help with past traumas, or negative experiences, but to help you cast a vision of who you want to become and help you follow through on that vision. Anita is the person for you! I never thought hypnosis and NLP could be so helpful, but I feel like she’s helped me come back to my true self.

I worked with Anita several years ago and it was a fantastic experience. Patient, understanding, and just an amazing coach and person all around. She is great with business owners and just ordinary people who are going through things in all phases of their life. 10/10.

I feel like I've been stuck in life and my career for a long time. I've tried reading self help books and every productivity article out there. I felt like there would be one thing that would help me out of my funk. Then I tried therapy but that didn't seem to go anywhere for me. Then I started looking into hypnosis. I was very skeptical at first but I always like to at least try everything once. So I made an appointment with Anita.Anita is kind and very passionate about what she does. Our sessions together where very comfortable and I didn't feel like I was in the spotlight. After our sessions together I'm not as hard on myself. I am content in what I'm doing, be it my business, enjoying life, or having me time. I no longer beat myself up for taking time for myself.I've found my purpose and mindset I need to run my business. It's also easy to find my priorities and take action one what's most important. It makes everything so much easier once you know what's most important and focus on it.

I entered Anitas office with hesitancy, I have never been a fan of "therapy" or any of my previous "therapists" before. I just know something in my life needed to change-had to change. I was sick of being the same run down and numbed out person. Anita was immediately different than anyone I'd seen before, she is remarkable. The value she puts on each individual life and how she shows she cares is beyond normal, its very impactful. After a couple of sessions, over the course of a couple of months we spent time evaluating my beliefs and what affirms my values, we discussed important aspects of my life and how I ended up in her office. Anita told me on our next visit we would need extra time for "time line therapy." While clearing my schedule for a longer session, I must be honest, I was unsure of what to think. Was I ready for this? What is it? How is it meant to help? Will it help me? How do you even do it? Can you get it wrong? She must have read my face because before I had anymore time to rush through my list of doubts Anita reassured me. Nothing was rushed, everything was explained in detail and there was even a soft cushion of the unknown, enough room for me to get curious and just experience the practice. After the time line therapy I hadn't noticed much of a difference. The practice in general relaxed me immediately and helped my body feel lighter and calmer, but I hadn't noticed any profound changes. Later that week I had several chaotic life events that occurred. I was let go from a training position in a very unprofessional way, one of my shifts at my other job had been given to someone else the company saw more fit, and I was being told because I was medically unable to continue this current semester of graduate school I would need to completely unenroll and would be put on academic probation until further notice of a health evaluation. The week was long, but how I handled these events was empowering and majestic. I handled each of these occurrences from a whole new place, I was a whole new person, no shame, no fear, not even guilt. I felt at peace through the drama and respected how I handled myself every step of the way! I even became excited to find new and better opportunities and make space for what greatness was to come my way-who am I, I thought? It is like I had laid the old person down to rest and this new person was completely capable and ready for any circumstance or challenge that came her way. Time Line Therapy works! Anita works! I highly suggest! All you have to do is put in the hard work and go! I wish you all well on your journey of empowerment and limitless experiences that are out there waiting for you to embrace.

To anyone struggling with depression,anxiety,panic attacks or other issues related to the mind and body I'd recommend seeing Anita with an open heart and mind from my own experience I was lost doctors wouldn't help me anymore psychologist couldn't handle my situation, doctor's told me I need to be on medication to treat my issues when In reality there was another problem that I didnt understand until I met Anita and here I am learning each day! Be an open mind person and you'll see way faster results. Remember when you want to help yourself, Anita will help you and thats how it works! help each other in our journey.

Anita Saldana is the real deal. I have been to many spiritual therapists and healers, but my experience with Anita has been by far the most meaningful and the most effective. Her commitment and excellence to me and to her craft is above and beyond. Anita Saldana is the coolest woman I know. She has the heart of an angel, the spirit of a goddess and the essence of a priestess. Poised in the world. Generous of nature. Self made. A radiant soul inside and out. And she believes in me unalterably as I falter and find my way forward.

Sam Newman

I highly recommend Anita's services. When I came to her I was in a very bad place in my life. I struggled with depression, childhood trauma, and low self a steam. I now wake up every day feeling at peace with where I am at in my life. Since I have seen her I have excelled at my job. I recently got a promotion. My family has also seen a complete change in me. Over the years I have seen doctors and therapists, and none of them helped me the way Antia did. She has given me my life back, I am extremely grateful for what she has helped me through. Thank you Antia for making me a better person.

I had a session this week with Anita Saldana to get free from hurtful thoughts and perceptions of a conversation that threw me off balance. I had attempted to figure it out on my own but that didn’t work very well. She led me into a deeper understanding of the way the conscious and unconscious mind work in relationship to the super conscious- from there I was able to let go of the pain. I acknowledge and recommend Anita 100%!!!

Before working with Anita, I had a big health concern that was recently diagnosed. Frankly, I was scared and worried about my future. I knew a little about the mind/body connection but had no idea of how to help myself to heal. Anita was very patient, informative, and helped me through some challenging times. I felt very at ease throughout her coaching process. She helped me to understand my emotions and held space for me while I dealt with painful past memories. Her guided, customized hypnotherapy tracks were extremely calming and helped me heal from the inside out. I still listen to them for ongoing stress relief. Since working with Anita, my physical health has greatly improved. In fact, I no longer require surgery for the concern that brought me to Anita. I feel much more balanced and grounded with a new outlook on life. I highly recommend Anita’s coaching services. Thank you so much, Anita!Mark

A reviewAfter many years and very unexpectedly, I met Anita at the most difficult period of my life. We had the 20th class reunion where I learnt what Anita had been doing as a profession and got extremely interested in it. At the time my husband and I had very serious financial circumstances because of different reasons, partly to do with bad decisions and the pressure rooted in the widespread international financial crisis. The situation was so critical that it threatened our marriage, the life of our two teenage children and other family members as well. We tried a lot of things, but simply we could not find the way out.That was the point when Anita started to coach us leading our steps gradually out of this hard period. She worked wonders with us, but it was not easy. First, we had to understand each other’s way of thinking, how differently we see the world and how we can support each other the best. After almost 20 years of marriage it was a bit surprising to deal with that. I believe the feelings and ideas we came to understand had been in us earlier but with Anita’s help we became more aware of them and learnt to use them to focus precisely. Instead of wasting our time and energy on blaming each other for the current hardship we were facing, we made bold decisions and began to look for alternatives to lead us out of that hopeless situation. Anita showed us how to communicate efficiently and also how to turn towards the things we desire in life instead of looking back. She had great power in guiding us, trying to make us understand that by learning to be self-conscious and self-empowered we can achieve a good life and leave all our difficulties behind. Anita taught us some simple methods that have proved to be essential and a great help to face the challenges of everyday life. Two years have passed since we first had our online session with Anita and the things have considerably changed around us. Our financial circumstances have improved a lot and our relationship has reached a much more intimate level because of providing each other with a much better support. Although we still have things to deal with, the most important result for us is that gradually worry and stress have disappeared from our lives. We know where we are heading and what we need to accomplish to reach the life we desire. Without Anita’s work, enthusiasm and kind but firm instructions we would not have been able to achieve that. We are absolutely grateful for the enormous help we have received from her and I can do nothing but recommend her and her teaching method to anyone!

I found Anita through Psychology Today and she is one of the best things that has happened to me in 2019. I worked with her intensely for a period of six weeks and she gave me tools on how to be able to look at past events, without being emotionally tied to them. Through her techniques, I also rediscovered my self confidence and have a plan on how I will achieve my career and personal objectives. Anita is a gentle soul and will give you her full attention during your sessions. Please reach out to her, you will not regret it.

If you are looking for an unconventional approach towards healing and loving yourself, then you should see Anita. Prior to her, I felt lacking and full of regrets and what ifs to a point of stagnation and self destruction. Through her guidance and tough love, I have taken back my power over my life and my choices. It is a long journey, and with her assistance, you can heal yourself from all your traumas known and unknown, understand and appreciate your lessons learned, and catapult yourself to your best self and future with unimaginable speeds. Imagine all your guilt, hurt, fear and regret that holds you down suddenly gone. What a relief to be healed. It is possible with Anita's guidance. She teaches you to create your own path and truly realize that you are the writer and creator of your life. Always present, night and day, to talk you back from the ledge.

There are so many wonderful things to say about Anita and her coaching! She has an amazing talent and can help guide you to a resolution when your ready. Noticing and coming to terms with my patterns wasn’t easy, but I enjoyed doing the work it took to shake me out of those patterns and change the way I live MY life. She taught me that “every belief I had, I had to decide to believe first”. We are our thoughts...Thank you Anita for your coaching and your kind heart.

Such a lovely experience meeting a genuine sincere lady like Anita. I was not sure what to expect. Went in with an open mind and was extremely impressed with my outcome. She opened my eyes larger then they have been in the past. Sometimes we feel as though we are stuck in life. Now I feel as though many new doors are opening. This new encounter with Anita helped me look at multiple situations in my life with a positive, brighter light. I highly recommend Anita...she is authentic and very thankful I have had the opportunity to cross paths with such a beautiful individual.
