"I could not imagine all the ways the course would affect me."

Quick summary

Gena enrolled in Paul McKenna's Hypnotherapy course to advance their coaching career, but discovered something far more profound. The training revealed the roots of their self-sabotage and perfectionism, inspiring them to share their gifts more boldly with the world.

Several years ago I purchased one of Paul McKenna's books. Back then I could never imagine someday I will be doing a Hypnotherapy course with the Man himself and the Top hypnotherapist in the world! All this is mind-blowing! I decided to do the course because I have been considering a career in coaching for a while, trying to combine my knowledge and skills of being a Software Engineer and an MSC Business Psychologist. I am result-driven, and traditional psychotherapy or counseling takes too long to produce results. However, I could not imagine all the ways the course would affect me. I looked at myself and saw the reasons for my self-sabotage, procrastination, and not-starting or not-finishing. I was plagued by perfectionism and overthinking my actions. I allowed myself to be vulnerable in front of my new tribe and realized, I was not doing enough in my life, not challenging myself.

The course helped me realize, I can do so much more by sharing myself with the world!

I can't wait to use my new amazing skills and bring positive change to my clients, friends, family, community, and to myself.
