WHY COUNSELLING & THERAPY NEVER WORKED FOR ME
WHY COUNSELLING & THERAPY NEVER WORKED FOR ME
Here’s why seeing a therapist, counsellor & psychologist never worked for my relationship challenges, and what I did instead to get the change I wanted.
I was feeling deeply unhappy & depressed.
I had lost my s/x drive.
I didn’t even want my boyfriend at the time to touch me.
I spent most of my days crying and wishing I would wake up happy one day.
I know I needed help as I couldn’t figure out what was going on within me.
I did what was suggested.
My GP referred me to a psychologist.
I received 6x Gvt funded sessions and put my faith into the hands of the ‘professionals’.
Each session was exactly the same.
Every week I would be asked to talk about my childhood and my feelings. To repeat my traumas, followed by:
“You did so well today. See you next week”
You may have guessed it -
NOTHING CHANGED.
Later on in life I experienced severe challenges with another partner.
We loved each other.
The chemistry was out of this world.
Yet we couldn’t stop arguing.
Every day was like a battle field, exhausting.
So we searched Google and appointed a relationship counsellor/therapist.
In the sessions we got asked to talk about our challenges.
We ended up in conflict in front of the counsellor and he had no idea what to do.
No new tools, strategies or approaches were given - simply told to come back the next week.
And I can confidently say that neither of these approaches did anything for me/us.
And the truth is -
I didn’t know what I didn’t know.
It was only later in life that I discovered something that changed the game for me in relationships.
Something that completely shifted my reality in how I experienced men and how I experienced myself.
This path led me to 2 main things:
1️⃣Healing my own wounds with methods that allowed me to work with my nervous system and shift my consciousness. I created new internal representations (vital!)
2️⃣I got obsessed learning about men as a different species. I studied, took courses, listened to audio books and kept learning.
And eventually things started to not only make sense - but change on a big scale!
Fast forward to now I spend my time helping men & women thrive in love, passion, intimacy & communication without wasting time & money on therapy/ counselling/ psychology that gets them nowhere.
I think it’s great if people get amazing results with those kinds of methods - yet myself and 90% of my clients haven’t.
So I created a method that works FAST.
For example -
One couple saw me for 1 session and immediately enrolled for 3 months of mentoring because just in 1 session they learnt more about each other than they had known in 7 years.
Another couple got more out of seeing me for 3 sessions than they got from years of combined psychology & couples counselling.
At my last 2-Day Thrive in Love Retreat we saved several marriages that were hanging by their last string… in only 2 days!
The thing is…
When you hold the right methods, tools and approaches - change doesn’t take along time.
The belief & certainty I hold in my work and approach is unshakable. 🔥
Humbly, I have never received more testimonials in my coaching than I do now since stepping into the relationship space.
