"Inside me grew an understanding of who I am in the world"
Alex discovered that helping others starts with helping yourself. Through the program's concepts and exercises, they uncovered inner resistance and found newfound freedom, expansion, and a confidence they had never experienced before.
You know, before I started this program, my life was in a rough patch. All I wanted to do was to help people be their best selves and somehow that turned bad. Because I wanted to understand what was happening and wanted to really know how to do it I started the program.
The program helped me in a big way, a way that is pretty straightforward: help yourself before helping others. All the concepts and exercises that we had to master before teaching to another helped me better understand myself and I uncovered some resistance within myself that was not really allowing me to be the best version of myself.
In the end, I feel this freedom all around me, I let myself expand and be, and now I also have this confidence that I've never experienced in my life. Inside me grew an understanding of who I am in the world.
