This is quite literally his life's work.This is Dylan's story.

In Dylan's words:

My name is Dylan Sessler. I am an empath, survivor, author, mental health advocate, speaker, and US Army Veteran. I am a survivor of parental suicide, PTSD, child abuse, bullying, war, life-changing injuries along with depression and anxiety. In 2015, I became a suicide attempt survivor. I have since overcome my PTSD, depression, and anxiety through intense self-awareness, learning, and focused self-empathy. I have spent my life learning how to understand and overcome the hardest things humans have to face. This is quite literally, my life's work.

Read the next sentence carefully: I fought my battles alone so you don't have to. You can continue fighting alone. I know you can do it but that doesn't mean you'll make it out alive. Some people can't win that fight alone. I'm here to show you the empathy and non-judgment that I refused to see myself. Let me help you take 10 years off the process of healing, maybe even 20. It took me 25 years to get to where I am now and I can assure you that it has not been easy.

You can spend the next 10 years struggling with the hardships you've been through or you can talk to me. I had a client tell me that we had gone deeper in our consultation than she had ever gone in 26 years of therapy. Think about that. That's just one session. Your opportunity is here, it's now. If you want to change your life, all you have to do is book a session here. It isn't the cheapest but that's because it's worth every penny.

Listen, if you're not ready, that's okay. Follow me on Tik Tok and my other social media. Read my Mental Health Blog. Join my free text platform where I drop inspirational and positive messages every single day. Just text me to join: 1-608-336-4480. Want more? Check out my podcast: The Dylan Experience. My Tik Tok is free content that helps you. I post every day for you. Follow me for a week, a month, or a year until you're finally ready. Take as much time as you need but I promise you, when I put myself out there to help you, it's because I know I can.

My deepest passion is to help others overcome the adversity they have had to face, see their value, and thrive. I don't want you to struggle anymore. If other people taught you to hate yourself, I hope you take the words I'm about to say very seriously: You don't have to hate yourself just because they taught you to. Your body is screaming at you to stop hating yourself. You're just not listening. Let me teach you how to listen with more than just your ears. Your body has a lot to say.

If you don't trust me, I'm not offended. In today's world of sales funnels and gimmicks, I wouldn't trust me either. Trust is earned. Watch my content. Watch my live sessions where I consistently talk people down from suicidal thoughts. Watch and let me earn your trust. At the end of the day, you know what is best for you. If I'm not it, I'll help you find someone that is better. As confident as I am, I am not perfect nor am I the perfect fit for everyone. And you know what, that's fine by me because I want you to determine your own journey. After all, you've earned it by now.WANT TO BE A PODCAST GUEST TO GROW YOUR BRAND AND AUDIENCE?PODMATCH: https://podmatch.com/signup/coachjonmclernonWe've landed hundreds of interviews using PodMatch!CONNECT WITH DYLAN:https://join.dylansessler.com/5
