"LearningMethods is an effective means of change and the two most striking qualities are that it is immediate and it is permanent."
                Professor of Education

"This experience with you has been extraordinary for me, precisely that. And it fits in with, and transforms too, virtually everywhere I shine its light."
                Playwright, professional actor

"When David helped reorient me towards my depression, he worked something of a wonder to me in shaking loose decades of behaviour, assumptions, and suffering, that I was calling Depression, in a couple of hours of precise and conscious talk…
                Actor

"I found the work to be so fully respectful of the individual. My being was never undermined. My personal truths and reality, albeit hidden to me in the beginning, was the focus of the work; it was a bit like stripping away layers to arrive at my own personal knowledge. I had the knowledge, but it took the work for me to see it and access it."
                University Professor

"Applying the LearningMethods process has been a personal adventure which was not only liberating, but it also unexpectedly gave birth to a new feeling of inner strength. Thank you!"

                Alexander Technique teacher

"There is such a gap between today and all those years before the work with David… Today, the most marvellous thing is the sense of new horizons."
                Painter

« Il y a un décalage entre aujourd’hui et toutes ces années avant le travail avec David… Aujourd’hui, ce qui est merveilleux c’est que je sente un horizon. »

"At first I thought it was a work about personal change like you might go to a therapist, but now I see this is something that could embrace any learning situation."
                Professor of Education

"Already that insight that I got from these three lessons helped me a lot and I felt much freer in my playing. There was much more expression when I played the way that I want to play and not the way that others would like me to play."
                Professional musician

"This work has helped me so much already and it’s fantastic how I have changed since I first came in contact with Bodil and you. So thank you very much!!"
                Professional musician

"What I liked about this work is the respect for who I am myself. I really felt that my intrinsic value was not undermined. The work has been done in a space that belonged to me with my own experiences, which really allowed me to reintegrate and be totally myself. This allowed me to not be afraid and to stay right there while things sunk in and became integrated. It is through this that I succeed in understanding what is happening for me."
                Painter

« Ce que j’ai aimé dans ce travail c’est le respect de je que j’étais moi, c’est à dire qu’a aucun moment David m’a imposé ce qu’il était lui. J’ai bien senti que mes valeurs n’étaient pas déstabilisées, mes valeurs restaient et c’est dans mes valeurs que le travail se fait. Cela m’a permis de ne pas avoir peur, de rester là et laisser les choses s’imprégner et s’ intégrer. Ce travail a été fait dans mon espace vital ce qui m’a permis de réintégrer ce que j’étais moi. »
                Artiste

                Artist

                Musician

"I was in a vicious circle… locked… where I was quite discouraged and I couldn’t get out… My abilities are there, it was just necessary to see them and believe in them. But in the space of a week, it’s the difference between night and day! It is incredible!"
                Painter

« Effectivement, cela faisait un cercle fermé, où j’étais dans le découragement et je ne pouvais pas sortir de là. Mes capacités sont là mais il fallait les voir et y croire. Dans l’espace d’une semaine c’est la différence entre la nuit et la jour. C’est incroyable ! »
                Artiste

                Artist

« Sans compter que cela n’a pas seulement débloqué le dessin. Obligatoirement en croyant en moi pour un dessin je crois en moi dans la vie, dans la relation aux autres. Dans tout ce que je vis parce que je suis là. Aujourd’hui j’existe bien plus que ce que j’existais il y a une semaine ! »
                Artiste

                Artist

« C’est simple et facile ! Quelle légèreté, quelle légèreté de pouvoir dire "Et bien oui, cela je peux le faire". »
                Artiste

"I can see to what extent the ideas can hold me back and make me less than I am. I also see to what extent I would never have been able to find that all alone. It makes me realise that I could have spent my life stuck like that !  I have not been able to be in reality because I was blocked by an idea !"
            Workshop participant

« Je vois à quel point l’idée peut m’amener à régresser et à être moins que ce que je suis réellement. Ca me permet aussi de voir à quel point je n’aurai jamais pu trouver tout cela toute seule. Je réalise que j’aurai pu passer ma vie la dedans ! Je n’étais pas dans la réalité de mon niveau parce que j’étais bloquée par une idée ! »
            Participante de stage

                Actor

« L’intérêt de cette méthode réside dans le fait de mettre à la lumière nos schémas de pense mais aussi nos paradoxes et idées fixes. »
                Comédien

"I have admired your writing very much in the past. Your "In Our Own Image" series of articles is one of the most useful things I ever read. It greatly affects my teaching. It demystifies some things that had seemed mystical and incomprehensible until I read it. This in turn gave me much more confidence in the work, and in my ability to teach it. "
                Alexander Technique teacher
