HERE’S WHERE IT ALL STARTED.
When I was 6, I got involved in a fight with another boy, and I was kicked so hard in the groin that my left testicle had to be surgically removed. This nasty incident and the bullying in secondary school that followed changed the course of my life.
Growing up, I hid my vulnerable feelings behind a painted smile and carried on. Meanwhile, a hulk like rage was building up inside, that left me violently confused and every so often caused me to lose total control.
I found reading self-development books helpful, but struggled to shake off the belief that I was damaged beyond repair.
IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN.
Then, I took part in a workshop called The Awakening in my mid-twenties, which offered a space for me to do the deep feeling work which I had been avoiding whilst in relation with other people.
Also, I found the teachings of A Course in Miracles helpful, which gave me a better understanding of the link between thoughts and feelings; how they shape our personalities and drive our thoughts and beliefs.
IT HURT BUT IT WAS WORTH IT.
It’s tough admitting that I had to go through what I went through to get to where I am today, but my ability to help people like you results from doing my own personal work. I know what it’s like to struggle and know from direct experience that acknowledging and changing our relationship with the past is the key to freedom. In taking responsibility for my thoughts and feelings, I discovered that even though life sometimes isn’t fair, it’s still worth living.
I am a registered counsellor with a diploma in transpersonal therapy, and over 25 years of experience in self-development work; leading support groups and teaching international workshops. I am also author of the book Odd Man Out, Breaking the Vow of Male Silence.
Every person deserves to know what it means to be fully alive and to live a simple, meaningful life on-purpose. Once you know how you do this, that’s when EVERYTHING changes.
