Beyond Talk Therapy

Sometimes talk therapy isn’t enough to clear trapped emotions out of the body that make you sick, unsure of yourself, or stuck in destructive relationships. Covid in the background amplifies the distress. You can get online (or phone) help from me, and expect tangible results with challenging issues in just a few sessions.

I can help you work through the tangled web of narcissism and reclaim the power you lost.

Auto-immune issues are often about a conflict between what the mind wants and what your body is willing to do. Lingering effects of traumatizing events are the biggest single cause of most physical and emotional ailments that appear later in life. If you feel you’ve lost a sense of PERSONAL POWER over your own life somewhere along the way, I am an intuitive, out-of-the-box thinker who shows you how get that power back using leading edge alternatives to talk therapy.

Testimonials from people who had no idea that past traumatizing events were causing their distress

All of these people had no idea that past traumatic events were the cause of their painful problems. Many of them say they got faster and more effective results with Dr. Drewry than any other therapies they have tried. All of them learned how to use Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT-Tapping) to continue to clear their own issues. You can watch this 20-minute interview with Dr. Drewry about how the Fight/Flight/Freeze response actually works. You can read more testimonials here.

Sleep Apnea, Insomnia and CPAP frustration: “I’m deeply grateful for her work”

“There was a remarkable pivot point in getting rid of sleep apnea with Dr. Drewry. First she figured out I had Central Sleep Apnea, not Obstructive Apnea. Shen she uncovered the relationship between the CPAP mask and the fact that I was born premature (not breathing well on my own) and kept alive in an incubator with a ventilator for several weeks. As near as I can tell without a sleep study I am now sleeping AND breathing normally after less than one month!

I had been told I had sleep apnea for at least 20 years before I decided to undergo a sleep study which confirmed 31 apnea events in an hour. I started using a CPAP. Unfortunately I had such a struggle sleeping with the machine that I put it aside. Worried about dying in my sleep without the CPAP, I started having severe anxiety and insomnia. I literally felt a sense of being ‘damned if I do and damned if I don’t’ use the CPAP. A close friend who was aware of my situation suggested I check out Dr. Damaris Drewry’s website and her alternative healing approach to sleep apnea. After two sessions the improvement was obvious and gratifying. After three sessions I’m pleased to report that the insomnia seems to have gone away. I have slept normally the last few consecutive nights. Dr. Drewry worked closely with me in between sessions via email updates and I found that very helpful. The sleep apnea package that she offers was definitely worth it.” – Tom W.

Emotional Trauma at Work Threatened His Job

Art A. in Tucson, AZ – People Magazine Teacher of the Year

“I cannot state strongly enough how much my work with Dr. Drewry helped me. After experiencing a trauma at work and doing all that I could with traditional talk therapy, Dr. Drewry was able to help me actually get through the pain and recover my sense of personal power very quickly using her Beyond Talk Therapy® approach. Her mind-body Energy Psychology methods are truly amazing, and on top of that, they’re easy to maintain and keep going. ‘Life-changing’ and ‘life-saving’ are not overstating this work and its effectiveness. Thank you, Dr. Drewry.”

Narcissistic Mother Wound Recovery and Sleep Issues

Karen in Asheville NC

“I hate to be one of those “it changed my life” people… but working with Damaris and Beyond Talk Therapy™ did! After our first session I had the best night’s sleep that I have had in years! I still woke up a few times during the night, but I was able to fall back asleep quickly and DEEPLY. The first session had a profound effect on me, but it took another session for the deeper changes to take place and I felt a significant shift. When I got the session recordings I did listen to them and practiced the tapping with EFT along with the clearing part and I do believe this process helped me integrate the new way of thinking. I had heard of EFT-Tapping but never used it – I got fast results.

My life used to feel like a fractured bowl that I was struggling to hold together – now it is being glued back together! (see photo of Karen holding a beautiful bowl she made after her sessions) I was able to reframe my disappointing relationships with men in my life, and no longer carry the heavy burden of anger and resentment”

Severe Life-long Skin Allergies

“This one Beyond Talk Therapy® session was amazing: I’ve had severe skin allergies from the time I was born – serious enough to put me in Denver Children’s Hospital for a whole year when I was a baby. I was allergic to foods, plants, all animals…all my life. When I was pregnant I had boils all up and down my legs. At the time of the session I had breakouts on my hands and legs. Damaris helped me find the causes of the problems which were rooted in old traumas. She used her unique spin on Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to teach me how to clear them, and I have had no problems since then.

Now I’m petting dogs and cats when I want to, and have had no breakouts anywhere, since then. I thought I was going to live the rest of my life breaking out from everything I ate and everything I touched; this has been a profound change for me. Now I have no skin allergies at all! That was 100% elimination of my symptoms in 1 session! – Linda in Tucson.

Linda W. sought help for narcissistic wounding, sleep apnea, and generally surviving but not thriving. She was amazed by the “side benefits” of becoming free from various traumas that were causing her physical and emotional distress.
