from veterans

“I’m a USMC veteran dealing with PTSD. A couple of months back I began mindfulness meditation with Carly Maletich. Since attending her class my quality of life has improved dramatically. My anxiety and stress levels are continually decreasing from day to day. I look forward to class because it helps me deal with society, personal problems, and living a more enjoyable life. Being part of mindful meditation with Carly Maletich has helped me to approach everyday life situations that have been toxic with a curious perspective and non-judgmental attitude.” 

“Psychotropic drugs are the usual first approach to treating mental health, when that can sometimes be counter productive. A lot of us need a listening ear and a place to let out a lot of pent up emotions. What needs to come out is ourselves. This mindfulness simply breaks the chain that binds.”

“Mindfulness is helping me cope with my past. I’m troubled with my past as a vet and suffer from PTSD. This [course] is great help for PTSD victims and across the board for dealing with fear, sadness, grief, anger, and many emotional problems. It’s very much needed at the VA.” 

from Cancer survivors

“Practicing mindfulness with Carly changed my life and gave me tools to cope with the anxiety and restlessness I experienced after my treatment for cancer.  I use the skills I learned every day and would highly recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn to cope with the stress from any personal challenge.”

From mindfulness-based courses

“This course taught me that being present is actually living. This living in the present gives one the power/opportunity to change my circumstances. You loose the feeling of being a victim and being helpless.”

“I would definitely recommend this course for other veterans. It has helped me. Some of it happened subconsciously. I think because my daughter noticed a change in me before I did. I’m calmer and more tolerant of different situations. I find myself using the techniques often. I let people be who they are without letting their negativism affect me. I feel it will be beneficial for veterans to develop these coping skills.”

“The most valuable aspect of this course is that I have been able to look at myself and my situation objectively. This analysis has allowed me to regain my inner strength that I had misplaced somewhere along the way of life’s path.”

INSTRUCTOR FEEDBACK: 

“Carly sets a calm mood, maintaining respect for everyone, and keeping everyone involved, without being pushy or probing. She has great balance and focus, and never gets off subject or loses the theme, regardless of the questions. Also, she ties and relates all of the questions and discussion back to her central theme.”  

“Carly’s strengths are that she cares genuinely for people. She’s able to get veterans to trust and to open up. Her training is easily applied in group settings and in one-on-one sessions.”

“Carly knows how to engage with people. She makes sure that the whole class understands her. She puts people in a comfort zone that propels them. Carly has so much positive energy to give. I really hate missing a session with her.” 

“Carly Maletich is outstanding with people. She knows how to let everyone voice their opinion and keeps the objective of the class. This is a training that I can use for the rest of my life.”
