Mixed Experience with Dr. Scano
Sean C. shares his 2-star review, stating that he spent over a year working with Dr. Scano, attending 2 sessions per week. Although he made some progress on minor issues related to bad habits and reframing negative thoughts, he ultimately felt that he was just venting to Dr. Scano, who would occasionally respond with suggestions for reframing. Sean notes that many sessions left him feeling worse than he had initially, often without any concrete action items.
In contrast, Natalya Bull enthusiastically gives Dr. Scano a 5-star rating, crediting him with being a "talented, impassioned, and dedicated healer" who is deeply committed to his clients' welfare. During their seven months of sessions, Natalya felt seen and understood, with Dr. Scano helping her identify and heal from long-standing trauma. Dr. Scano's keen insight and commitment to understanding his patients made a significant impact on Natalya's life.
Imbalance in Session Dynamics
Both reviewers share concerns about the dynamics of their sessions with Dr. Scano. Sean felt that Dr. Scano often remained silent, leaving him to continue venting without any sense of resolution or action, while Natalya praised Dr. Scano's engagement and attentiveness.
Competing Perspectives
The contrasting reviews highlight the importance of a therapist's approach and style in shaping the therapeutic experience. Sean's negative experience suggests that Dr. Scano's approach may not be effective for everyone, while Natalya's positive review underscores Dr. Scano's potential as a skilled and compassionate healer.
