Be aware that Dr Howard Schneider, Canadian doctor specializing in psychotherapy (wonderful brain coach) is not to be confused with Dr Schneider the infamous American dentist. The two are worlds apart. Subsequent to several concussions compounded by harassment in the workplace, and a psychiatrist in my local community hospital, whose treatment made me worse, when I was finally referred to Dr Schneider of Sheppard and Associates by my G.P., I was very depressed, feeling quite hopeless about my future, extremely anxious and unable to work. Dr Schneider performed a SPECT scan on me. He helped me to understand my brain and recognized my post-trauma ADHD-like symptoms. He worked diligently with me using CBT, helping me let go of the hurts of the past, to embrace the present and look forward to the future. He helped me with my memory skills and taught me how to better handle stress. In May of this year I returned to work on a modified assignment that gently re-introduced to me to my work world. In September, 2015, I will be teaching full-time in my former school. Without him believing in me, I don't know whether I would ever have been able to reclaim my teaching vocation. I had gone from being recognized as a top teacher in Ontario in 2006 and 2007 to feeling like a waste of space. Now, like the phoenix that rises from its ashes, I am reborn. I still get stress anxiety but I am able to work through that with support and am very happy to be re-embracing my vocation as a teacher. Dr Schneider understands that the brain is the seat of the soul. He deeply cares about the welfare of his patients and is an asset to his profession. He is the reason why I feel confident that I can reclaim my own sense of purpose and continue to contribute to my own profession. I am not afraid of being bullied in the workplace anymore. I know I can continue to make meaningful contributions to education as I did in the past and that I can continue to empower youths to become caring citizens. There are not enough words of praise for this fine physician. As far as I am concerned, he saved me. Because of him I am able again to lead a purposeful life coaching others to believe in themselves and be the best they can be. When I get worried about pitfalls on my path, I know he is there for me to continue coaching me on my journey towards reclaiming self-confidence. I am so very thankful.
