“I agree and can attest to every word in Marcy E. Kessler’s testimonial because I experienced the same thing. When I first came into contact with Brett about 3 years ago, I felt as though I was at the end of my rope. I was in a dark abyss created by depression, and I didn't think there was any way out. While attending an online veterans support group, Brett was the guest speaker. I had my guard up and only let it down far enough to give him a shot at breaking that barrier. I didn't trust him or anyone else. In approximately 30 to 45 minutes, that all changed. Brett singled me out of a group of about 12 to 15 people. I was angry, depressed, and suicidal and above all, trusted no one, and yet I followed his lead. Today, I rarely struggle with depression or anxiety, and I haven’t had any anger outbursts that have resulted in a blackout rage. I owe my life to Brett, and Stress Is Gone. Although I have PTSD, I have learned how to cope and live with it to the point of being at peace within myself. We have become very close friends, and it is an honor and pleasure to be on his team. Thank you, Brother!”

“This work gave me a gift that I can use over and over again when I need to reconnect with peace. It gave me back to myself by allowing me to visit the perfect space of my existence. Like a touch-stone, it takes just a second, and is powerful enough to transport me beyond my biggest problems and into a place where I am free.”

“Brett Cotter is an amazing healer through his gift of guided meditation and techniques he teaches veterans and first responders. His book and subsequent workshops have been outstanding, they continue to make a difference in people’s lives. Brett has been able to touch so many through his untiring efforts to serve those in need.”

“We are so excited about Brett Cotter and the Stress Is Gone program Brett introduced for psychiatrically disabled adults, and from the start, there was an instant connection! He presented the use of exercise, affirmations, and meditation in such a unique way that everyone, including staff, was comfortable participating and following Brett's lead. He's easy to follow and fun to work with and we can't wait for him to come back and continue teaching us!”

“As a Doctor of 25 years, prior service member, and Director of a Civilian Navy Seal Training Program, I understand stress. Stress Is Gone uses unique and innovative ways to help those seeking to manage emotional stressors. I have found their approach to be helpful with my patients overall sense of wellness and use the Stress Is Gone Method daily in my practice.”

“My son was a disabled Marine veteran that died by suicide. Brett has been instrumental in me being able to move forward and raise my grandson Kayden, he has changed so much. I feel that my progress of moving forward has taught him. And with the difference in me it makes a difference in him. He has finally accepted this as his home. He now wants to sit by me and lay his head down. He is saying I love you without being told first. He is happier than before and he wants me to participate in his joyful activities. He wants to cuddle. Other people have told me he’s always been a happy kid but he is so happy now. There is such a change in him. Kayden knows he is loved. For instance he overheard us talking about my other grandson’s difficulties and said, ‘just bring him home with us and love him like you do me.’ 
And thank you for helping the MOVS. My purpose has become helping the moms and trying to prevent soldier suicide. Christie lives in the town next to me. She was so happy she talked to you. She just raved. Other people in the support group were asking about you. I did tell them about the Facebook page and meditations and Wednesday night trainings. I really want the other moms to realize you can have joy again. To find a purpose. To be kind. It heals the heart. 
I believe God sends us what we need and we have to choose to use it. You were such a blessing and still are. Brett you are so good and you care. He is a guiding light and can help with so many issues. He has so much healing and I don’t know I would have moved forward without his help.”

“This work has helped so many. I have called Brett many times with a veteran in crisis and helped them calm down and continue with less stress and with a purpose. As I travel the country and meet active-duty, veterans, first responders and their families, they all receive a copy of his book. This is just a glimpse of how much I believe in his skill to help anyone with PTSD.”
