hit home for me….”

“You have helped me see why my son had chronic eczema by exposing the pain inside I had and projecting it on my son. As I healed from my emotions, my son healed from his eczema that no dermatologist, expensive medications and steroids could do for my son, when the problem was with the parent, like I was. Thank you, Tracey, for showing the way to feel and experience the TRUE let go, let God in this life. Wow, keep sharing this.”

~ Robert S

I have been struggling with an autoimmune disease (ulcerative colitis) for over four years and I fully believe in a psychosomatic to approaching my sickness and I have had incredible results (along with help of medicine, but the dose has become lower and I’m doing better than ever). Thank you, Tracey from Nashville, TN!! For the walk you have done before us, and connecting the dots towards healing! 

~ Derrick Frey

I truly appreciate and I agree that people with this condition will get so much help and support from you 🙂

~ Anurag Sharma

For me, the most helpful was your meditations. Feeling my body and not resisting symptoms like bloating, pain, etc. Generally, my belly has improved with all the symptoms.

I know now that I can have a better connection with myself. Now I’m more aware of my body

“I was afraid of Candida. Guess what? I can have the ice cream and I don’t have candida! You were right, I would heal from it, and I’m eating normally now. I eat everything. I’m not too strict. I eat pizza and pasta. OMG”

~ Paola B.

You explain things in a very heartfelt and intuitive way, not intellectual and dry, which I find helpful. You teach in a very juicy, human way, which I think is great and a breath of fresh air. My physical symptoms have improved significantly, though slowly. This has been down to general health improvements but also this emotional processing. I have come a long way and am much more open, honest and courageous than I was. It is now becoming much more of a natural habit than a ‘practice’ which involves effort and constant reminding myself.

I have been suffering from a very painful left shoulder. I went to visit the doctor, and he said it was tendonitis, and my shoulder was sore all the time. If it hadn’t gotten better, I would have had to get surgery. After I spoke with Tracey, she helped me identify my feelings and how angry I was inside and how all these feelings damaged my body and my health. After experiencing Tracey’s approach, I felt that I had let go of a heavy backpack full of stones.

I have continued to do what Tracey showed me…and I can feel that my shoulder pain has gone away. I feel her therapies can help you to know yourself better and face your feelings. I recommend her therapies for all the people like me who are stressed and lost in this fast-paced world.

Kisses,

I had developed patterns over the years that weren’t serving me, and I wanted them to be broken. I could feel and see the progress I had made in such a short time working with her. She helped me learn new skills to help me move forward in all areas of my life.

~ G.S.

I’ve made significantly more progress in a few months of healing with her compared to the years and years I invested in other forms of therapy. I came to Tracey to heal my childhood trauma and some of my psychosomatic symptoms caused by my emotional and sexual trauma, and despite the short amount of time I spent with Tracey, I truly feel like I’m finally liberated from most of the pain that’s been plaguing me for so many years. Tracey helped me come “home” to my soul, and my life finally feels like it’s authentically mine. I truly believe that she saved my life.

~ Celine Joo

I was drawn to her expertise on codependency issues and her holistic approach to healing. My work with her thus far has really helped me make sense of ongoing difficulties in my life and helped shift my perspective on things. She helped me develop my communication skills and build confidence. Overall, Tracey has helped me identify the obstacles holding me back from participating fully in life and forming healthy relationships and is guiding me to overcome these obstacles. 

~ Natalia Paz

I used to use techniques like meditation, psychotherapy, and hypnotherapy before, but I just felt like trying something different/new. I was a bit stuck with some patterns which needed to be untangled. The most memorable was the technique “psycho-drama” when Tracey presented my friend on the chair to whom I was supposed to present my deep feelings.

I have difficulties expressing feelings through words, and that technique helped me to experience embodied feelings and express them by WORDS. I am a very open and straight person when I feel safe in the environment. Tracey was able to create such an environment where BODY-MIND-SPIRIT can heal all at once.

~Veronika Gold

I can easily say that working with Tracey has changed my life! I’ve felt supported and encouraged throughout the process of healing, and have experienced a tremendous amount of growth in all areas of my life. Some of my long-standing health conditions have begun to improve as a result of working with Tracey, and my body, mind, and relationships have healed in ways I once didn’t think possible. I’ve begun stepping out of feeling like a victim and into my own power. I have grown awareness around the patterns that feed into my Hypothyroidism/burnout. I’m beginning to see improvements in my IBS through emotional work (update: healed IBS)

Exploring how emotions/traumas/states are stored in the body has been fundamental to my journey. I’ve felt so many shifts in my life (body/spirit/and mind), and am so grateful for those. One effect of our work has been developing new, healthy relationships in my life – such a blessing!!! Tracey is an incredible healer and a divine force on this earth. 

~ I.M

Finding Tracey was a serendipitous encounter, and I could not have asked for a better fit. She made me feel comfortable opening up from the start and taught me to sit with whatever I am experiencing – to feel it wholly, question it, and process it. 

She has also taught me about codependent behaviours, setting boundaries, and releasing what no longer serves me (and my body!) to live a lighter and more authentic life. 

I am forever grateful for her energy, support and time and look forward to more sessions with her throughout my journey. 

~ Jannell L

“I met with Tracey at a time when I sought clarity and peace of mind…It was apparent that she cares for her clients. We dove right into the matter rather than going through all the formalities, which I preferred. Using a client-centred approach, she focuses on you – what is it that you need to ensure you live the life you love. She is honest, insightful, and raw. She listens attentively and tends to ask those tough questions that you’re so afraid to ask yourself. She provides you with “soul work” to complete, keeping you on track and accountable for your own healing. I am thankful that I’ve crossed paths with her. Thank you for all you do, Tracey! Your work is deeply appreciated, and thank you for shedding your light with others.”

~ Suzanna

I came to Tracey Nguyen to heal feelings of depression from a breakup. Tracey was able to help me identify and interpret themes of codependency in past relationships and the experience of narcissistic abuse in family contexts. Working with these themes has provided me with insights that help me manage my emotions in the present and improve my overall mental well-being. 

An example of a behavioural shift would be less avoidance of situations of possible rejection and being able to express my needs towards others with a direct voice. I noticed I was better able to process and experience emotions related to grieving and rejection in a healthier way. I have also found that the quality of my dating life and friendships has improved as I become more connected with my emotions and experience in the moment. 

My healing journey with Tracey brings inspiration to my heart and soul. I am provided with sound advice and challenged enough to create the interpersonal changes that I value in my life. 

~ K.H

I have had a wonderful experience with Tracey – It has helped me on so many levels by redirecting my emotions, helping problem solve with simple solutions and exploring my experiences deeper. I felt validated, heard and respected…feeling like it was very productive, empowering and a lot to reflect back on. It differs from the past in a way that I didn’t get a generic response/solution. Tracey is wonderful. 

~ Cindy Tran

I’ve been in therapy for a while and have tried different therapists, but I’ve always felt like something was missing. Tracey’s approach to treatment is deeply spiritual and aligns with my values and who I am as a human being. I’m so grateful that we can dive deep on a soul level and unlock traumas that have impacted my ancestors and me. 

 ~Best, Yosha

With Tracey’s guidance, I’m unlearning negative habits that contributed to the unhealthy ways I was dealing with my issues. I’m also becoming aware of my boundaries and have more confidence to enforce them to protect my well-being. When I would feel triggered emotionally, I’d let people cross my boundaries and react without thinking. I’m now able to notice the feeling before reacting, observe it, realize it’s from a past wound, and communicate accordingly.

I used to experience bodily twitches from suppressing intense emotions, have headaches, and digestive issues. The emotions would build up and come out in unhealthy behaviours and wreak havoc in my body. It’s improved since receiving therapy, and I am continuing to heal. 

She’s helped me go deep into my emotions and provided alternative methods to manage them better. By releasing the emotions that were trapped within me through music, art, and therapy,  I’ve felt lighter, happier, and have been feeling more like myself again. My continued path to healing with her has helped find the pieces of my authentic self. I’m so very grateful to have found Tracey and to have her as my therapist. 

~ Christine Pham

Tracey came into my life at a time when I had already had a lot of therapy, but I wasn’t really getting anywhere. I felt like something was missing. Until I came to understand that what I had experienced was parental narcissistic abuse. Finally, something made sense. So I went onto the internet to find an expert in the field to consult with, and that’s how I found Tracey. Not only did Tracey have a thorough understanding of Narcissistic Abuse, but she lived through it. Just knowing she really understood what I was going through was so instrumental in the therapy process.

Tracey guided me through what narcissistic abuse really looked like and how it related to my upbringing. I felt like I could finally put all the therapy puzzle pieces together. She’s a Narcissist translator. I realized that for years, my parents and I were speaking different languages. Now, thanks to Tracey, I finally understand them and why they behave the way they do.

I realized that so many of my behaviours and habits that kept me safe in a traumatic childhood environment no longer served me in my present adult life. I am reacting so much differently now that I understand myself and my childhood. I have boundaries now, which I never had before. And I have forgiveness and compassion for myself, maybe even a bit for my parents. My childhood trauma no longer dictates my life, and I feel like now I can finally heal and move on. I am excited for the future!

~ Alyssa Rushton 

I came to Tracey specifically to help me process my first intimate relationship, which ended up being with a covert/vulnerable narcissist. The narcissistic abuse that I had suffered due to this relationship had left me confused and filled with self-doubt, control issues, sadness, and anger. All of this, following the pandemic with its mental health challenges, adds another layer. Navigating relationships with others, especially intimate partners, was very difficult. But this relationship had broken my already tenuous connection with myself. I worked with her to understand the relationship and myself, looking for patterns in earlier relationships and within my behaviour. Witnessing myself and slowly working on my addictions and negative patterns, and healing the deeper wounds under the surface. She encouraged me to become more emotionally aware; to allow myself to feel deeply as a means to understand and accept all parts of myself. Although difficult, sitting with those difficult feelings has been nothing short of transformational. Talking with her has changed how I see myself and others. She helped me understand narcissism and codependency, and how to balance the strengths and weaknesses of each. My relationships are better, I’m more optimistic about the future, and I’m acting more consistently with my goals and values. I am grateful for her assistance as I continue to heal and grow toward becoming my truest and most authentic self.

I found Tracey online after working with several other therapists for short periods.  I had the pleasure of working with her for over a year.  She was very approachable and, for me, the right mix of empathetic listening and sharing tough but necessary perspectives at appropriate times. I enjoyed how she was open to discussing things from a faith-based perspective as I felt that was very important to understanding my journey and struggles as well as for helping move me forward in the direction I was hoping for.  Super grateful for her professional guidance and support.  Would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for an experienced and effective therapist.  

~Jaclyn Seebach

Thank you, Tracey, for providing a safe space for me to explore my inner world.  Your listening helped me to process my emotions and understand them better,  your empathy helped me to feel seen and supported, and your feedback helped me to relate to situations in a different way, from a different perspective.  For example, I used to blame myself when there was discord in my family, and I would try to please everyone as a way to reestablish harmony.   My teenage son, who had become abusive like his father, kept invading my space, especially when he was fighting with me.  Recounting the incident out loud to Tracey, I could hear myself speaking openly and with emotion.  With Tracey’s support, I could connect to the event openly, with less fear and shame, knowing that she was there with me.  That process helped to create clarity in my mind about what I was struggling with – boundaries.  Tracey helped me work through the situation with my son by brainstorming ideas, then creating a doable action plan for me.  The plan outlined what my boundaries would look like and sound like, and other things I had to put into place before addressing the issue with him.  I was able to follow through with my plan.  Happily, I have not had to deal with that situation again.  My body and mind have become more integrated, and my confidence in myself has increased over the time we’ve been together.  I’m learning to trust myself and am handling difficult situations.  Tracey has been a part of that journey, and I am grateful for our time together.
