For 15 years, he struggled with low self esteem.
This made it impossible for him to attract the right woman.
I helped him identify and eliminate negative thought loops.
And, within 5 weeks, he was a changed man.
Here's how we did it:

The exact step-by-step guide we used to help Aaron build extreme confidence:
1. Set boundaries
2. Practiced incantations
3. Conditioned mental reframing
4. Redefined his relationship with attraction
Let's dive in.
1/ Set Boundaries
Tony Robbins once said,
"The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives"
This is why setting boundaries is powerful.
Why?
It communicates to others what you value and what you will and will not accept in your life.
The harsh truth is:
If you don't set boundaries, other people will set them for you.
Aaron's problem?
He was a classic "Mr nice guy"
He:
• people appeased
• said "Yes" to everything
• tolerated toxic behaviour
He desperately wanted to avoid confrontation and hostility.
Sounds harmless right?
Wrong.
His pursuit of peace cost him true happiness.
By constantly putting other people's feelings over his own.
He slowly destroyed his sense of self-worth.
Imagine being a pawn in a chess game that you had no control over?
That's how it felt.
But, here's why Aaron was acting like that:
His avoidance was rooted in trauma.
Growing up, he was conditioned to avoid, rather than express his needs upfront.
This meant we had to unpack his conditioning to help get clarity on why it existed.
This is when it got exciting.
Once we were clear on "why"
We could establish a game plan to execute "how" to change it.
This started with introducing a boundaries framework called the,
"Confidence Compass"
It's a decision-making tactic that helps bulletproof your mind.
Here's how it works:
Aaron chose his 5 key values.
These included:
• Loyalty
• Integrity
• Honesty
• Compassion
• Communication
And, then..
When Aaron was faced with any new:
• Action
• Reaction
• Relationship opportunity
He did this:
He'd measure it against his 5 key values.
They acted like his north star.
Guiding him towards a happier and more fulfilling path.
Ultimately, it protected him against exploitation and saved his sanity.
2/ Morning Incantations
Aaron used to wrestle with self-doubt.
He struggled with negative feedback loops that undermined his sense of self-worth.
This made him feel nervous in front of women and in social situations.
Then, this changed:
We introduced some practical psychology taken from NLP.
This included; morning and evening incantations.
What are they?
Like affirmations.. but on steroids.
Let me show you:
Rather than write or say an empowering phrase.
For example: repeating "I am confident"
Instead, you instigate a physiological response.
In other words,
You embody what you're saying using a firm body position and a strong tone of voice.
The best bit?
Done consistently.
For 5 mins every day (morning and evening).
In 4 weeks, you'll notice dramatic changes in confidence.
By dictating your best self, you define who you want to become.
Then, before bed, we did this:
Aaron adopted a powerful meditation technique.
I invited him to calm his mind and direct his thoughts towards a deep state of gratitude.
Why?
Because fear can not thrive where thanks does not hide.
3/ Mental Reframing
A powerful technique that helps shift your mindset and boosts confidence.
Recently, Aaron left a toxic relationship.
His partner:
• cheated on him
• told him he wasn't attractive
• constantly took advantage of him
Sounds awful, right?
But, using mental reframing.
Aaron was able to take control of how he felt.
Rather than blame his partner for his situation and feelings.
Instead, he took responsibility.
He declared to himself he deserved better.
Her toxic behaviour reminded him of what he truly values in a healthy relationship.
This meant he could course-correct and attract someone aligned with his values and morals.
To attract better, he knew had to be better.
Here's how:
4/ Redefine Romantic Attraction
Aaron's ex-partner said she didn't find him attractive.
This hurt Aaron as it made him feel insecure and self-conscious.
To be more attractive to her, he convinced himself he needed to change himself.
But guess what?
He was wrong.
That was just a projection from her. It had nothing to do with him.
In order to feel better about herself, she belittled him with sour words.
A classic low vibrational act that is a reflection of her, not him.
The truth is Aaron is perfect the way he is.
Rather than stoop down to her level.
Aaron recognised as a self-respecting, high-value man.
He was doing himself a disservice by tolerating her toxic behaviour.
Equipped with new boundaries and an empowered mind.
Now, he approaches women with ease.
Aaron now?
I'll let him speak for himself:
"I feel like I worked through 3 years of processing and thought in a mere 5 sessions. Insane"
