"Today, I’m a big fan of Mindvalley"

I know I’m not alone when I say this — I had a tough childhood.
 Like many of you, I developed subconscious beliefs to protect my vulnerable inner child. But as I grew older, things didn’t get better.
 That’s when I decided to study psychology. I thought if I learn how the mind works, maybe I can finally be happy. But let me be honest: the classes felt lifeless. Just theories from other people, lots of statistics, no soul, no real guidance for life.
 Still, I pushed through. I got my diploma. I started working in places filled with sadness and depression because somewhere inside, my subconscious believed that this was what life is supposed to look like.
 Then came a moment that changed me deeply. I was attacked by a man. I fought for my life, if I hadn’t, I might not be here today. I survived. But my mind remained trapped in survival mode.
 I tried therapy. Multiple times. But nothing really stuck. I kept numbing myself, as life threw one drama after another at me.
 Life felt like a constant uphill battle.
 In 2020, something inside me snapped awake. I realized: the world around me is not built to make me happy. It’s designed to keep me anxious and small.
 And then I found a book. The Code of the Extraordinary Mind... It deeply changed my thoughts...
 And let me tell you this: healing starts with better thoughts.
 As a clinical psychologist and behavioral therapist in training, I’ll be honest, I don’t like classical therapy. It often lacks soul. It feels corrupted by the system. It keeps you in victim mode. Not really empowering... of course there a also good therapists out there. But mostly they only want you to keep coming one week after another...
 But books… personal development… these can change your life. So now when I work with clients. I dont use the standard methods. I encourage them to start taking responsibility for their own healing and not waiting for a doctor or therapist to heal them in a magical way just by coming one week after another to talk about what is wrong in their lifes. 
 Today, I’m a big fan of Mindvalley.
