“Marisa has my eternal gratitude for saving my life”

Quick summary

After years of therapy and struggling with relationships, Rachel discovered the childhood roots of her patterns through Marisa's work. She now experiences unprecedented confidence, self-love, and a healing dialogue with her inner child that's transforming every aspect of her life.

The lessons Marisa Peer taught there were and are priceless. When I first read about her Masterclass at Mindvalley, I decided to try it. I am at a standstill in my life. I dropped out of my doctorate program in psychology and then later walked out of educational psychology.

Prior to that, I had failed love relationships and a strained connection with my family. I don't stay in my jobs for too long. I find being with others uncomfortable. I am a big believer of psychology because of the enormous value I gained from learning about how people work.

Given my track record with people, I gravitated towards understanding what makes people tick. Despite years of therapy and hard personal work, I still fall back on dysfunctional relationships with others. It was a handicap that crippled my life.

Taking Marisa's Masterclass led me to a significant breakthrough on the roots of my relationship dysfunctions. It's amazing how childhood memories hold sway on every aspect of my life. Not long after that, I felt more confident than at any time in my life!

I bought the program Uncompromised Life as soon as enrollment opened. It was like a major lifeline and the more I do the exercises, the better I felt about myself. I also noticed that I am mostly indifferent to criticism and blame from others. My decisions have become clearer and I found myself making right ones most of the time now. I shake off undeserved criticism and praise myself for my work naturally. I listen to your audio recordings everyday without fail. I am determined to change my life for the better, thanks to you.

As I became more self-loving, I actually have a daily dialogue with my inner child. I never heard her say, "I love you" to me until now, and I realize that I love her back very much. We talk like good families do, and I found being a good parent easy because I had so much love to give.

Please keep up the great work you have done. I intend to continue my studies someday and become the therapist I was meant to be. You have my eternal gratitude for saving my life.
