Personal Testimonials

"Our son started having episodes that resembled seizures from the age of 4 years old. To start with they were like small stutters with facial movement but as time went on they progressively got worse similar to full epileptic attacks. Our GP referred us to a paediatrician who diagnosed his condition as epilepsy and he was put on a low dose medication.

Over time his episodes got worse and his medication was increased. They continued to get worse and his medication continued increasing. He was now 10 years old and not functioning as a normal kid. He was often sent home from school because of continuous episodes and having ambulance trips to A & E was becoming the norm. We could not take him anywhere just in case things got bad as he was having 10 – 15 fits daily, falling on the ground, unable to speak and shaking uncontrollably. This was not only terrifying for him and us but for those around him.

We were sent to Starship and it was discovered that he had been misdiagnosed. He was having panic attacks that were getting worse because of the frequency he was panicking about having them. The smallest thing would unbalance his mind and he would panic, his body reacting by having these seizures. They were even happening in his sleep, his mind was not shutting off even then.

Through coincidence and a mutual friend we met Peter Mischefski. He has been a fantastic tool in helping our son regain control of his mind. He has become a normal kid again. Pete has enabled our son to move forward in his life. To not sweat the small stuff and how to deal with new situations. Something that was impossible just a short time before.

We found Pete’s assistance amazing. He has achieved so much in such a short time, and we will be forever grateful for his help and our son has gained a lifelong friend."

"Thanks so very much to Pete for helping my daughter overcome her anxiety with her netball.

My daughter would trial out for rep netball feeling anxious, she would doubt her netball ability, she would compare herself to others and would think negatively. If she didn't make the team, she would cry and feel very insecure.

After speaking to Pete for a couple of sessions and attending his seminar, my daughter has now found different ways to cope with her anxiety, has learnt through Pete to not overthink too much and to focus on the now rather than past experiences and future illusions. She accepts herself and doesn't get too upset about these situations anymore, rather just an experience and learns from them all.

I highly recommend talking to Pete about any concerns you may have with your children suffering from anxiety as I feel we have seen great progress."
