How Lives of Participants have Changed

Rob Assaf

Before I attended Connections, I felt broken, hopeless, and stuck within a pattern of bad habits and choices that had reaffirmed their place in my life. By attending Connections, I experienced personal breakthroughs which have allowed me a new outlook on life, reminding me I have power to make the choices I desire.

Over the past ten years, I had been living a closed life, holding back my feelings & emotions, and not being true with myself or those around me. The work I did in Connections has allowed me to come in to my true authentic self, and begin to live life with openness to myself and others.

Acknowledging and accepting my past traumas and struggles has allowed me to gain a new understanding on my life. By addressing these issues head on through Connections, I am better equipped moving forward with understanding of the choices I have in life to be the best and true version of myself.

Watching fellow Connectors experience their own personal breakthroughs was humbling and inspiring. I could feel the power and energy of being in “the room”. It was incredible to attend Connections with them, and I am grateful for the many new friendships that I have gained.

I was nervous and tentative walking into Connections. I didn’t know what to expect, but knew I was looking for a life changing experience. Connections was exactly that!

Connections was an opportunity to learn and practice skills that helped me deeply connect to myself and others in a safe and encouraging environment. Through the hands-on learning and self reflection moments, I was able to face past traumas, forgive myself and to let go of thoughts and behaviors that weren’t serving me anymore.

The Connections team helped me examine the negative self talk that was holding me back from living my best life. I learned strategies to turn that self talk around, shift my perspective and ultimately create new behaviours.

The biggest gift of all was learning how to build trust in my own decision making.

Since Connections, I have more compassion for myself and others around me. I have noticed that my communication in my marriage and with my kids has improved. I can be a better leader at work and trust that I am making the best decisions for my business.

I would encourage you to share this testimonial with your friends and family so that they will one day have their own story to tell.

I don’t have the words to describe the life changing transformation I went through at Connections. I had been struggling for many years with anger, resentment, frustration, a lack of understanding and compassion in one of my primary familial relationships. It caused me serious discomfort interacting in my family and the deep-rooted anger and heart break seeped into so many areas of my life, without me even realizing it.

Over the last year, I worked 1-1 with Terry which was incredible, and I had many breakthroughs in that work, but when it came to this relationship, I always hit a wall. I had zero willingness to work on it even though I recognized the only person that all the resentment was hurting was me.

Throughout the weekend at Connections, I found strength and willingness through others’ vulnerability and the healing energy in the room. To my great surprise, I spent the whole weekend talking and working on this relationship. It is with amazement and wonder that I can say, during Connections I was able to see this person in a different light and in that very instant released all the resentment and anger I had within my body and spirit. It’s now been a couple of months since Connections and my relationship with myself, others, and this person has changed dramatically. I feel lighter, free-er, and able to love those in my life on a deeper level. I also have been able to engage with this person in my life in a positive way and it has brought love and joy back into our relationship. I truly can’t say enough about Connections and the power that a group of open, brave, and vulnerable people can have upon one another.
