Self-Esteem Issues

Early experiences can make it hard to trust others or open up emotionally, leading to difficulties forming or maintaining healthy relationships.

Unhelpful Coping Mechanisms

People might turn to substances, self-harm, or avoidance behaviors to manage difficult emotions.

Emotional Dysregulation

Difficulty managing anger, sadness, or frustration can lead to outbursts or withdrawal.

Anxiety and Depression

Emotional education has allowed me to be the person I was meant to be, not the person I was made to be

What do I know?

My name is Matthew Gibson and I help people overcome their emotional wounds from childhood. 

I have done many courses, seen a number of therapists and counsellors, and read a lot of books!

I have worked with eminent educators, such as Jean Bond, author of Behind the Masks: Discovering Your True Self, and developed and run my own courses.

I have a Masters in Social Work and worked as a child protection social worker for many years before I gained my PhD, focusing on emotions and specifically on shame.

I have been lucky enough to attend the courses offered by the Centre for Emotional Education and the impact on my life has been profound: from helping me decide upon my vocation to proposing to my wife, I have relied upon the principles that are taught to help guide me to choose love over fear. What I have learnt through attending the courses has been nothing short of transformatory

Here is my method for healing emotional wounds of childhood and creating a life you love:

1.

Gain awareness of your experience and how this impacts on you and your life now, grow from your experience by using it to develop a deeper understanding of your true self, and discover your purpose

2.

Learn the tools and techniques needed to break free from the patterns of feelings, thoughts and behaviours that are holding you back so you can feel your feelings, express yourself more authentically, do more of what you want in life, and connect more deeply with others.

3.

Get live help, support, coaching, mentoring, and accountability from regular live check-ins and an online community of people who get it because they are going through what you are

Time does not heal all wounds

Without awareness we have no foundation to know that things can be different

Without action we have no way of effecting change

Without support we have little chance of making any change last

Things can be different, you can get more from life, and you can live a life you love

And you don’t have to do it on your own
