Catalyst Testimonials
Kati's Catalyst Testinomy
Kati shares her positive experience with the Catalyst program at Meier Clinic, describing it as a catalyst for change that provided her with tools for mental health work she had been doing for decades. Although she did not experience complete healing in the 15-day program, she persevered and participated in activities such as writing an autobiography, drawing self-portraits, and attending group sessions. The program helped her to realize her worth and sparked a whole new direction of self-discovery, and the eight-week aftercare program helped her to continue focusing on health and healing. Kati acknowledges the difficulty of the journey but sees it as a starting point for moving forward and emerging stronger. She expresses gratitude for the life-changing effects of the program and her resolve to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly.
“The Catalyst Program exceeded my expectations. Of course, I didn’t want to have to go through this, but I’m so glad I did.
