Doug's Journey
From Innocence to Chaos
Doug, enjoyed a normal childhood with loving parents. However, in his late teens falling in with the wrong crowd led him into the grip of drug addiction.
Despite his struggles in school, Doug's passion for psychology drove him to pursue evening classes while working as a club doorman. Yet, this job exposed him to the darker aspects of human psychology, leaving deep scars.
Silent about his pain, Doug witnessed peers succumb to addiction, incarceration, and even suicide. Unbeknownst to him, he was also trapped in a toxic relationship that exacerbated his mental health struggles.
The years of gaslighting and belittlement took a toll, leaving him battling depression, social anxiety, and profound feelings of inadequacy.
A Wake Up Call
After the devastating loss of a close friend to suicide, Doug vowed to reclaim his life and support others silently suffering.
Despite battling social anxiety, depression, and low self-worth, Doug committed to honoring his friend's memory. He delved back into his passion for psychology, pursuing education in various healing modalities and overcoming his fear of being seen.
While working at a brain injury rehabilitation clinic, Doug witnessed firsthand the profound impact of trauma on brain function, sparking a deep interest in neuroscience.
Meeting his wife, who had endured narcissistic abuse, further opened Doug's eyes to the lasting effects of such trauma. Living in her family home allowed him to observe the turmoil caused by narcissistic behavior first hand.
Driven by a desire to help others, Doug immersed himself in his studies and challenged himself to do what scared him the most as an introvert with social anxiety, public speaking.
Though a combination of mindfulness, hypnotherapy, Doug conquered his social anxiety by performing stand-up comedy at a London pub open mic, a feat he once deemed impossible.
Commitment to Change
Finding his voice was a pivotal moment for Doug, empowering him to help others. Freed from the symptoms of complex trauma and limiting beliefs, he was able to unlock his authentic self.
Now a bestselling author, clinical hypnotherapist, public speaking coach, viral Tik Tok influencer, Doug is blessed to be able to help others to heal, grow and lead.
