When I asked Garrison Cohen to share his story of transformation he said, “Where do I begin? Like many kids, I was born.” That was my quick peek into Garrison’s sense of humor. He proceeded to tell me that from very early on, he was AWARE. In other words, unlike the typical human journey, Garrison Cohen STAYED AWAKE. Babies these days are doing the same.

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆: "I was aware that people were not aware, and that was really hard. As a child with no understanding of what was happening, it was very confusing.

My parents and other people around me weren't aware of their own feelings, and yet I was. I would feel everything that they were feeling and then wonder why I felt so terrible.

‘Why do I feel so conflicted? Why do I feel so scared, lost or sad?’

All I knew is that ‘this doesn't feel right’. Eventually, I made it mean that there was something wrong with me.

My one guiding light was a voice that I would hear inside of myself that would say, 'This can't be as good as it gets. Because if it is, it shouldn't feel like this. That was my compass’.

I knew that somehow, I was going to have to figure out a path to where I could say, 'I don't know if this is as good as it gets, but I'm so happy that I don't really care if it gets better.”
