Where Minds Get In Gear

I write this testimonial not just to thank Dr. David “Beba” Witkowski, but to share with every struggling individual that there is hope for their child, young or older, and for themselves.

Early in his life, our beautiful child Robert, who is now 41, had fever seizures followed by a difficult academic journey. He was disruptive, basically because he did not focus or comprehend the material.

He was impulsive and a slow processor. An eye doctor told us that Robert could not focus properly and if not taken care of, he would turn into a juvenile delinquent. Therapy only slightly helped, and we lived with the fear for his future.

Robert learned slowly, so it was difficult to continue his education. He became a security officer, but since his processing was slow, his exchanges with people made it difficult to keep a job. We begged him to get therapy, but he refused. He was in so much emotional pain and we didn’t know where to turn.

One day, we confided our pain and frustration to a close friend who recommended Dr. David at Cognition Ignition. Although Robert had refused psychological therapy, he accepted to go for a consultation.

During the interview, it didn’t take Dr. David long to recognize Robert’s problems and pain. He told Robert, “I’m going to tell you exactly what you’ve been going through.” As he proceeded to describe how Robert’s social and academic life had been, Robert began sobbing like we’d never seen before. It was the beginning of his healing journey.

Since Robert is an adult, the process of re-educating the brain takes more time. We did, however, see an interesting improvement in about ten sessions. He became calmer, had less anxiety, had better comprehension, and began to express interest in the greater world. Although it took him a while, he is now an avid reader, follows conversations well, and asks intelligent questions. He definitely has more self-confidence.

Robert has become well regarded by his bosses in the workplace as a reliable and responsible officer. He is even examining the possibility of returning to school to continue his education for better opportunities. I thank you, Dr. David, for being instrumental in converting Robert’s desperation and pain into confidence, success, and a much happier sense of well-being.
