How I started out
Ever felt stuck in a weekend loop? That was me. I’m Jake, I struggled with alcohol and drug addiction for 5+ years.
I struggled and I was addicted without realising, the sleepless nights, the tears shed and the negative thoughts were on repeat. I told myself I could stop, but it was a vicious cycle that kept revolving as the weekend came along.
After many years partying, taking cocaine and ketamine, whilst drinking excessively and looking for the next escape, I decided enough was enough. A Croatian festival called Hideout was my tipping point in 2022, after 7 days of partying and a conveyor belt of ecstasy and ketamine, that was enough. I booked a one way trip to South East Asia and I was off. This was to escape the environment, but also to ‘find myself’.
My Journey to Hypnotherapy
I needed time to reflect on my experiences, and the choices I made throughout my late teens and early 20’s. I swiftly returned home after 4 months a changed man. I changed job and went into recruitment sales, to quickly excel and get promoted in my first year.
I know what it’s like to face rejection and the hustle and bustle of sales. I also got myself a Hypnotherapist, who I still use to this day and decided the inner work was unfinished. I just knew there was some deep emotional work that was unresolved and without resolving this, relapse was a possibility.
I absolutely loved my therapy journey, and how the mind works, so much that I trained to be a Cognitive Hypnotherapist and NLP practitioner through Trevor Silvestor and that’s what brings me to who I am today. My mission and goal is to guide young individuals to break free from addiction and build a life they’re proud of. I’m an open book, I’ve walked the path that many are on, and now it’s time to guide people to achieve their goals and gain freedom.
