My elder son had seen by many psychiatrists and counselors since his mid-teens. He had received diagnosis from ADHD to Depressions, Personality Disorder, OCD, Substance Abuse and even Aspersers Syndrome from different professionals.

He has lived the majority of his life in HK. He spent some time in the US and Mainland China to study; he had adjustment & behavioral difficulties in both places, resulting in termination from schools.

Since the death of his father five years ago, the situation had gotten worse. By then he was obese (5’6” 220 lbs), depressed and developed a habit of Cannabis use. He didn’t know what he wanted in life and attended a couple of vocational schools without much success. He had frequent emotional outbursts & heated arguments with me. Our mother-son relationship had hit the bottom. At the same time, his relationship with his younger brother was not good either. He then went on a diet because of health issues related to his weight. He was successful in losing weight but ended up with an eating disorder- Bulimia Nervosa.

My son received different assessment & treatment previously including school social worker, educational psychologists, counseling and several private psychiatrists. But all the treatment seemed to plateau at a certain point with no further improvement. His condition was a mess; however, he has a high motivation to improve himself. His wish to make life happier for him & his family is a strong motive for change.

In May, 2007, I was introduced by my good friend to Danny Moorjani, a NLP Practitioner, to help my elder son. I didn’t know much about NLP then but why not? I was desperate…. 

Danny successfully uses a technique to motivate him to change. In less than a year, Danny motivated him to shed off his Cannabis addiction and get his Bulimia under control. Most importantly, our relationship has improved tremendously. I have seen great improvement. I wouldn’t say he is perfect now, but at least he is on the right track. No longer a depressed adolescent, but a happy responsible young man. I am beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel.
