honest update

Over the last 18 months as a therapist and coach, I’ve lost touch with the essence of what I stand for.

I listened to business gurus touting “GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT”. So, I shifted my marketing focus towards concepts that seemed more appealing.

You know, stuff that sounds SEXY.

But at its core, it’s all healing. Just rebranded.

The word ‘healing’ has always struck an out-of-tune chord with me. If I’m honest, I still don’t fully understand why. I'm still working on it.

I suspect it stems from when I used steroids to feel accepted. Deep down, I knew healing was what I needed most, but I resisted the concept. Admitting I needed ‘healing’ felt like admitting I was weak or broken.

Thankfully I worked through that resistance.

Beyond my personal experience, I often see people say, “I am in recovery”. They’re actually saying, “I am in a process of healing”, though they may not realise it yet.

After a beautiful chat with my therapist, coach, and friend Hugh, I am realigning with the truth.

I see now that I’ve tried too hard to ‘stand out’, losing touch with why I walked this path in the first place.

Now, I’m entering the next stage of my own healing process. Whilst I’m not resolving core emotional wounds here... I find myself shedding layers of old identities and limiting beliefs that no longer serve me.

I look ahead with excitement at the prospect of alignment and authenticity. It’s uncomfortable, which is how I know I’m pointing in the right direction.

I’ve found my edge, and I’m leaning into it.

You’ll likely notice a shift in my content and style from here onwards. If my posts don’t resonate, it’s okay for you to leave. I’ll still love you.

For those of you who’ve been here since the start, thank you. I love you too.

PS. If you’re a client wondering, “What does this mean for me?” The answer is simple: nothing changes. My commitment to your healing and growth remains my top priority, now and always.

With love,
Dan
