Client Experiences

Before Working with Andy

TRTP was first recommended to me by a Dr who specialises in chronic pain. I had previously spent 18 months working with EMDR, plus countless years of talk therapy prior to that. At the time, my mental health was low, I was medicated, and my psychiatrist was recommending inpatient treatments at the psychiatric hospital to help with PTSD and anxiety. I knew that didn’t feel like the right approach for me but I also knew I had to do something to properly overcome years of trauma. I was determined to put an end to the cycles of my mental health issues and the looping patterns that I was operating under. I wasn’t entirely sure how TRTP worked but I had experienced benefits from EMDR so working from a subconscious level appealed to me. I was also really exhausted by the idea of going back to fortnightly/monthly therapy with no end in sight so the more intensive approach was also a big drawcard.

What I Was Facing

Daily life was impacted by very high levels of anxiety, constant feelings of fear, always on high alert and in fight or flight mode, increased symptoms of ADHD, PTSD & OCPD. Unstable emotions, volatile relationships (with self and others), insomnia, prescription dependency, avoidant tendencies, struggled to know or see myself, seeking external validation, people pleasing/lack of boundaries, lacked joy and didn’t laugh much, carried a heavy energy, chronic pain and other physical symptoms like clenched jaw & tight body.

During the Process

As I expected, the sessions brought up a lot of traumatic experiences, but the focus wasn’t so much on processing the memory itself but the impact to the subconscious. During our sessions we would tap into memories or events that opened the door to parts of me that needed love and protection which I could give to myself from a subconscious level. From the work I have done in the past, I was always able to discover the link to my patterns and find a lot of reasons why I am the way I am (or was) but I never had the tools to do anything with it or know how to heal and make lasting changes.

The sessions were hard, I had to commit to the process and remember why I was there. I was quite fragile throughout the month but felt a greater amount of self-love, compassion, and determination to heal.

I really enjoyed having a personalised meditation to do at home. Sitting still for too long can trigger me into panic mode so I found it most beneficial when I listened while taking myself through a gentle yin yoga practice. Allowing the imagination to focus on the meditation while stretching encouraged me to breathe and release—really works for me. I still aim to do this as part of my weekly self-care now.

At first it was hard to picture only needing 4 or 5 weeks given all my other years of therapy were so ongoing. I had apprehension about starting a therapy with someone new, but Andy made it so easy to be there and I genuinely felt shifts each week. I felt so much relief from removing the need to retell my story and focus on healing my subconscious beliefs.

What Changed for Me

It only took a couple of weeks before my husband commented on how he was seeing differences in me and our relationship started to expand because I was lighter. Our conversations and communication became deeper because my capacity wasn’t at its limit. By week 4 I genuinely felt like the work we had done was lifechanging, I felt so much more joy in day-to-day things, my anxiety reduced significantly, I felt safer to be in my body which really showed me the contrast of how I had been operating in flight mode every day.

Before I started, I was worried about potential effects of revisiting my trauma, I was worried about unravelling and part of me wondered if it would be better left untreated. But it was easy to see early on how safe I was, how Andy understood and believed in doing the work, I felt like he understood the journey and the impact of having unresolved trauma. I never had to push beyond what I wasn’t comfortable with but found I was ready to dig deeper the following week.

The week after our 4th session I remember feeling shocked but also in awe of how good I felt, I was almost waiting for the penny to drop and for me to go back to how I was before. But it didn’t—and a few months later, I’m still grounded and enjoying getting to know myself on an authentic level.

Where I Am Now

I would say that I can feel a pretty dramatic difference in my overall wellbeing. I feel much more at ease, have a greater capacity for things, not as triggered, feel genuinely more compassionate, I laugh more, my anxiety and overwhelm has really reduced, I feel clearer, calmer, my OCD & perfectionistic tendencies have really shifted. I am now able to observe my patterns a lot more and see them with curiosity and identify what I would benefit from working on.

I feel a real sense of lightness and surrender and when I start to feel the build up of stress, I can know my needs more and feel way more likely to speak those needs without guilt. I am continuing to understand my authenticity and where I have been living out of alignment for so long. My marriage is stronger and I have more capacity as a parent.

I have areas that I will continue working on with Andy in the future but for now I will allow space to integrate. I feel we accomplished more in one month than years of talk therapy ever could have and there is so much freedom in that.

Before Working with Andy

I was suffering a lot with my mental health. I had a lot of childhood trauma and depression that I brought with me from my home country. I was diagnosed with depression, ADHD and bipolar disorder, but the drugs I took to treat these disorders left me in a worse state.

I had tried conventional therapies with psychologists and psychiatrists, and also alternative therapies such as quantum therapy and medicinal plants. My partner had worked with Andy and said he might help me, so I decided to try it.

My Experience During the Process

From the beginning, Andy explained TRTP in a very simple way. He gave me confidence, and I trusted the process.

I enjoyed the sessions and felt better after each one. Chatting with Andy calmed me and the recordings helped me connect with myself in a new way.

In the sessions, I connected with different parts of myself. This helped me understand my behaviour on a deep level. We worked through childhood and adult traumas, including some I had forgotten.

Andy helped me connect with and release an energy that had been stuck in me. I felt lighter and more energised.

Where I Am Now

A few months after finishing, I feel very happy. I’m free and don’t let my past affect me.

I’ve created healthier patterns. I think, speak, and act more consciously. I’m more confident with my boss and my partner. I procrastinate less, and my depression has lifted.

A spectacular change in life and personality. I feel more authentic. I will never have enough words to thank Andy for his work.pression

Before Working with Andy

I was experiencing severe anxiety after an incident at work. Despite five years of therapy with psychologists and a psychiatrist, I just couldn’t get over that feeling: I’m not enough, I’m worthless. I felt like I constantly needed to apologise for my existence. I kept saying sorry to my children for everything.

That’s when my daughter told me about Andy. A week or so later, I booked myself in and I have never looked back. Big thanks to Andy.

I didn’t have the tools to protect myself from people and situations. It affected my day-to-day life, my sleep, and especially my behaviour around the people I loved the most.

My Experience During the Process

It was like a wake-up call. I realised that I’m not worthless, and that it’s okay to stand up for myself, even with those I love most. I don’t have to put up with people who put me down or belittle me.

Where I Am Now

Everything has changed. My anxiety has dropped significantly. I feel empowered and confident to speak up if someone treats me disrespectfully. I can protect my self-esteem and my feelings without guilt.

I know I am worthy.

Thanks, Andy, for showing me all that and much more. I now have tools to cope with the challenges in life—and use them.
