THE STORY OF FOUR
1.
The story starts in September 2009 when I find myself profoundly off-balance - fragile and emotionally depleted after a failed relationship.
Knowing that I desperately need an injection of fresh perspective, to re-calibrate and find my strength again, I approach trusted friends for a list of ‘recommended’ psychologists.
That’s what you do right ??
2.
Going from psychologist to psychologist, I find the whole experience profoundly underwhelming.
I am 100% ready to share my experience & feelings, but I find that talking endlessly about my past is not working for me. The whole process feels too gentle and passive and not designed to move me forward.
After a long search I eventually find a 'dynamic' that works for my pragmatic, energetic and impatient mind.
With robust 'tools' in hand I break free from my wounds and self limiting thinking and finally move forward.
It feels like I've suddenly got fuel in my tank, and the energy to expansively move forward.
3.
I go on to thrive, exploring and expanding in new dimensions in my corporate career, endurance sports, and relationships .... but my curious mind ponders how HARD it was to find good therapeutic support.
Was it them - or me ?
In subsequent years, I quizz an a large number of people on their experience with therapy.
Sadly I learn it is an all too common experience.
Many, MANY people express finding themselves stuck in endless self-analysis instead of healing .... and that they remained cloaked in their emotional struggles and unable to constructively move forward.
They sought advice / guidance / direction / reassurance but it just didn’t seem to come ....
Surely
there is a better way
4.
So I get super curious, devour volumes of research on progressive models of ’therapy’, discover Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Matrix Therapy, and deep dive into training, become certified ....
.... and quit Corporate Life to set up my own Practice.
So, with an abundance of clarity, determination, and encouragement FOUR is born
.... shaped and surrounded by exceptional, fresh thinking, and with a keen focus on creating an honest and empowering experience for anyone feeling challenged and disrupted.
Compress the time to start living again
