When I started working with Andrea I was a mess. I couldn’t cope with work. I was very unhappy and didn’t know how to break the cycle of constant negative thinking. After BGL101 I can see a huge shift in my life. I am much calmer, have much less anxiety and can cope with things in a way that would have seemed completely impossible 4 months ago.

The full story:

 

When I started working with Andrea I was a mess. My anxiety levels were through the roof, I was insomniac and had constant night terrors, I couldn’t cope with work and pretty much all other aspects of my life became a source of additional stress and anxiety. Nothing felt fun and exciting and I felt completely lost. I was struggling hugely with feeling a lack of joy and motivation, and finding purpose in life in general.

I was very unhappy and didn’t know how to break the cycle of constant negative thinking and putting myself down.

I had done some meditation in the past and had read about mindfulness but I had no idea where to start and if it would even help. I knew that I needed to do something differently to find a way out of a really negative and destructive situation so I decided to sign up for a free consultation.

I had been through several series of therapy in the past but I felt that even if they helped during the time I was there, they didn’t teach me anything that I could take with me to keep working with my incredibly high levels of anxiety.

I really value the fact that Andrea taught me tools and techniques that I could use myself on an ongoing basis to change my frame of mind and to improve my life.

I have walked away with an array of techniques that I can draw on every time I start falling into my old way of thinking and I can see the benefits of the work I have put in every single day.

With Andrea, it was great to be able to speak with someone who I could relate to and who has gone through similar struggles in life, unlike a therapist who is just there to listen but can’t actually interact with you on a more personal or human level. I instantly liked her straight up honesty about life and the way she described life issues that I could very much relate to.

It was empowering to learn that the things I was experiencing and feeling was actually very common and also not impossible to overcome and learn about why we as humans react the way we do in various situations.

Having worked together over four months, I can see a huge shift in my life overall. Not only do I actually nowadays get a full night sleep most nights (which I haven’t had for the best part of 3 years), I have made some big decisions regarding my future and have developed a much stronger belief in myself and my capabilities.

I am more able now to see things with perspective and a clarity that I didn’t have before.

I am much calmer, have much less anxiety and can cope with things in a way that would have seemed completely impossible 4 months ago. Challenging situations and struggles are still daunting and sometimes terrifying but they don’t control me in the way they used to.

BGL101 is an incredible way to learn how each individual is able to change their own life, complete with a toolbox that they can keep and use forever.

Andrea is an incredibly switched on, caring and considerate person with a straight up, no bullshit attitude, a great sense of humour, and a wonderful outlook on life that she is amazing at sharing with, and teaching, others.

Thank you for all your help, I couldn’t have done it without you.
