She'd been through divorce and years of "messy family stuff". She was functioning, showing up, doing what needed doing. But she'd lost herself along the way.

"My confidence had tanked, I doubted myself constantly, and I didn't really recognise who I was anymore. I was tired of pretending I was okay when I wasn't."

She'd had talk therapy with several different psychologists, but left most sessions feeling worse than when she walked in.

We took a different approach. Rather than revisiting the story, we worked on clearing what her subconscious and body were still holding.

"It felt like finally getting to the root instead of just talking around it."

A few weeks in, something shifted: "I noticed I wasn't carrying as much heaviness. My anxiety started easing, and I wasn't constantly second-guessing myself. I felt more present, more steady, and less reactive. I started setting boundaries without guilt and began trusting my own voice again."

And where she is now: "Life doesn't feel so overwhelming anymore. Now it feels hopeful, not heavy."

If you've spent years working on yourself and something still hasn't shifted, you haven't failed. You just haven't worked where it actually lives yet.

In person in Sydney City and the Sutherland Shire, or online across Australia.

Do you ever feel like something's quietly missing — even though, on paper, your life looks full?

You have people around you. A partner, friends, colleagues, a busy diary.

And yet...

I've written about that feeling. Where it actually comes from. And what I did about it at 6am in the rain on a Wednesday.

Would love a ❤️ or a comment if this one resonates — or feel free to share it if you know someone who needs to read it.

"I felt like a prisoner in my own body."

This one has stayed with me.

My client had already left the abusive relationship. Logically, he knew it was over. His conscious mind had done the work and moved on.

But trauma doesn't live in logic. It lives in the nervous system. In the subconscious. In the body.

And his body hadn't caught up yet.

He tried multiple therapies — EMDR, Gestalt, acupuncture. Each time, the symptoms intensified. Panic attacks. Dissociation. Things that had always helped, like the gym and meditation, had become triggers. Three years of fighting himself was taking it's toll.

This is something I see often — and something I understand personally. The conscious mind can process an event and move on. But if the subconscious and nervous system are still carrying it, the body stays on guard. Scanning. Bracing. Waiting for a threat that's no longer there.

It's not weakness. It's not a character flaw. It's a nervous system that never got the all-clear.

When we worked together, we didn't keep analysing the story. We worked where the imprint actually was — in the subconscious and the nervous system.

This is where he landed:

"It felt like a spell was broken. My body finally realised I am safe."

"I can push myself at the gym without panicking — and I don't cry in ALDI anymore. (Unless they're sold out of eggs.)"

Three years of survival mode. Shifted in weeks.

If any part of this resonates, whether it's your story or someone you care about, I'd love to have a conversation. Discovery calls are free, no pressure, and I'm available in person in Sydney City and the Sutherland Shire, or online across Australia.

Feel free to share this if it might help someone who needs to see it. 🙏

Ever feel like the same painful patterns keep finding you – difficult relationships, self-doubt, feeling stuck – no matter what you try?

I finally wrote the explanation I give almost every client.

It’s not bad luck.
It’s an invisible childhood filter that’s still quietly running everything.

And the best part?
It can be changed – quickly and permanently.

This time last week I walked 60 km with 250 men, almost all of them strangers, for the men's health charity WNOW (When No One’s Watching). 1 km for each of the 60 lives lost to su***de each hour around the world.

Co-founder David Eccles calls it "a connection challenge, not a physical one". That felt true at km 40, but by 55 km my legs were loudly disagreeing.

From the first step we were encouraged, by example and gentle invitation, to open up to the guy walking beside us. And a few truths hit me hard:

- Men don’t lack depth. We lack safe environments that welcome and encourage vulnerability. Create the space → the depth appears in minutes.
- Give men emotional safety and zero judgment and they’ll go deeper in 30 minutes than many friendships do in 3 years.
- Vulnerability isn’t weakness; it’s the glue. One honest “I’m struggling” unlocks five more.
- Shared vulnerability is the fastest trust accelerator on earth:
Km 1: excitement & laughter →
Km 12: real sharing →
Km 50: deep emotions →
Finish-line beer: brothers for life

WNOW is steadily growing these spaces, town by town, country by country. I feel it every Wednesday morning at the Cronulla Sunrise Club, and I felt it even more last Friday.

If you - or a man you care about - need more connection, laughter, and real support, send them here: wnow.org

We can carry deep pain and still show up looking strong.

If you have learned to hide your hurt behind calm, humour or competence, that is okay. Those parts of you are only trying to keep you safe.

Reach out if you’re ready to move beyond coping.

𝗙𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 after three wonderful weeks in the UK, spent with my Mum.

2024 has been a truly transformative year for me. Transitioning to a full-time therapist after years of balancing it with corporate coaching has been both challenging and immensely rewarding.

This year also reminded me of the importance of reconnecting with friends and family, reinforcing how essential it is to nurture harmony in our personal lives.

My hope for us all is to engage with one another with genuine curiosity and love—seeking to understand the individual rather than being swayed by the divisive narratives of our increasingly polarised world. I believe in challenging ideas, but always with compassion and patience... definitely still a work on for me 🙃

This morning, I’m reflecting on the incredible people in my life and feeling immense gratitude—especially for my amazing wife and this beautiful country I now call home.

As we step into 2025, my wish for us all is a year filled with love, growth, and curiosity about those with different perspectives. Let’s strive to understand, not win or disconnect. I truly believe this approach can make our world a better place.

Happy New Year to all!
Andy
