Pannell’s style of therapy follows the trope, “Two eyes, one mouth; listen twice as much as you speak.” Pannell uses an interdisciplinary and eclectic approach to therapy , Throughout these different life experiences, he has gained first and second-hand experiences of mental illness – depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger, bipolar depression, schizophrenia, and psychoses, to name a few. By encountering these experiences in his personal life, he developed empathy for others going through them. , His motto is “make it good for something,” which speaks to the alchemical process of converting one form of energy into another – taking these seemingly negative experiences and transforming them into lessons that can be drawn from in the service of others. His role as a therapist is to empower clients to help themselves.
