Are you sick of having no control over your emotions?

Has people-pleasing and endlessly criticising yourself left you wondering who you even are?

Did something happen in your past that's left you hopelessly stuck?

When pain, loss, trauma or misfortune happens to us, our Ego acts to keep us safe as we continue through life, but sometimes that means we don't grow into our true self.

We're left with bad habits, anger, depression and living as someone we're not.

But there is a way to get past this pain and discover your true potential.

There is a way to partner with your Ego and find peace.

In this episode, Patrick will share some of his story about how trauma led him to addiction and living inauthentically. It was only through deep self work that he was able to quit these harmful habits and begin the road to finding himself.

And through this work he has developed a process he can share with you. In this episode, you will learn one more practice to add to your journalling and goal-setting work that will accelerate your growth.

Plus, you will learn 3 specific ways that you can partner with your Ego and begin to take control of the parts of your life that need work.

This episode is jam-packed with practical tips for you and step-by-step guidance so you will not be alone in this process. If you're ready to work toward peace and happiness, begin the journey to finding yourself, and to take back control of your life, Listen Now! In just 30 minutes you can begin your transformation!
