Gabriel, how did you come to dedicate yourself to helping people in their lives?
In the year 2000, from a challenging family situation, I began to have negative and catastrophic thoughts that led me to discover first-hand what anxiety and panic attacks are. Those were very difficult months, where I literally thought from the symptoms I experienced that I was going crazy. But thanks to wonderful circumstances I was able to get out of this problem and it was then that I told myself “if God made me live the torment of anxiety and panic, it is so that I can share my experience and help others with the tools that helped me. ”. It was then that I decided to write my book “From my anxiety to your happiness” (which has already sold more than 25,000 copies) and start this project that has been helping thousands of people for 15 years.
From your experience, what services do you provide?
Over the years I developed an orderly method, based on my own experience with anxiety, cognitive behavioral therapy and kabalah, which today those who suffer from anxiety can purchase at www.saludemocional.com. It consists of 46 short video capsules where the person will find the keys to understand her anxiety and eradicate it with clear and effective tools.
What kind of audience did your method reach?
Among the personalities who have tried and been successful with the Benayon method, there are high-performance athletes, such as soccer players, cyclists, and personalities from different communities. Such was the success of this project that together with the production company Cinema7 we are recording a documentary film with the testimonies and inspiring episodes of this project.
What are your challenges as a Rabbi?
My goal is to teach and pass on a method that is based on my suffering and experience with anxiety. In general, rabbis, gurus or religious leaders teach from books or theory and from a level where they show themselves to be perfect or superior and the recipients are somehow below that position. In my case, I want to connect with my message, looking the receiver in the eye and saying “you can get ahead and eradicate your anxiety just like I did”. The message is authentic and the impact much more. I think I am one of the few religious leaders in the world who does a whole project from his vulnerability.
