When Depression Hit:
Job Loss, Breakup, and Total Emotional Collapse

A year ago, my life fell apart. I lost my job, and almost immediately after, my boyfriend of three years left me. I sank into such a dark place — overwhelmed by despair, shame, and a crushing sense of worthlessness — that I literally could not get out of bed. I was convinced I was broken, that something was fundamentally wrong with me, and that I would never find my way out. I came to this course looking for a lifeline — something, anything, to hold onto.

Phase 1:
Crisis Coping Tools for Immediate Relief From Suffering

And I found one. The first levels felt like emergency care. Simple, practical tools that brought immediate relief. The 'Generating Joy' technique became my oxygen. I built a list of 'anchors' and used them dozens of times a day — every time a wave of pain threatened to pull me under. It kept me afloat. This was the first stage — 'Freedom From' suffering — and it worked completely.

Phase 2:
Rebuilding Self-Worth by Healing the Root Beliefs

But the real transformation came afterward. Once the acute pain began to ease, the course guided me deeper. I started working through my 'root causes' — what the program calls 'Blind Beliefs.' I discovered my core pattern: 'I am only loved when I make myself convenient for others.' I could see clearly that my past relationship and job had both been built on this crumbling foundation — and that their collapse wasn't the end of the world. It was an opportunity to build something real.

Phase 3:
Creating a New Life With Purpose, Joy, and True Desires

The final part of the course — 'Freedom For' — is what sets this program apart from everything else. Alex doesn't leave you standing in a clean but empty room. He gives you the tools to fill it with meaning. I learned to listen to my true desires, rather than my fears.

I didn't just 'recover.' I became someone new — stronger, more whole, and genuinely happier than I was before the crisis. I came to the course to heal a wound. I left having found myself.

Alex’s Expert Commentary:
Understanding Victim Mindset and Emotional Healing

"Kasia followed a classic path of transformation through crisis. She initially used 'Positive Anchors' as an emergency energy source to pull herself out of the 'Energy Drain Mode' and through the acute phase of suffering. But the real breakthrough came when she applied the diagnostic tools to her 'Blind Beliefs.' By identifying and dismantling the 'Be convenient for others' program, she stopped leaking energy into meeting other people's expectations — and redirected it toward living out her 'True Desires.' This is a textbook example of the personal re-engineering process at work."

Case Study Breakdown:
What Worked, Why It Worked, and Key Takeaways

Kasia experienced a 'systemic collapse' — the simultaneous loss of her external supports (job, relationship) exposed the fragility of her inner foundation. To understand the mechanics of her recovery, explore the relevant guides below:

1. The Breakdown:
The acute phase of losing her anchors and emotional shutdown triggered by broken attachments (Withdrawal Syndrome).

2. The Mechanics:
The deep-seated belief 'I am only valued when I am useful to others' (Blind Belief) was blocking her vital energy.

3. The Tool:
Emergency energy recovery through deliberate activation of positive emotional memories.
