We often meet people that would benefit from personal development. If you fall into this group, typically you would have had a narrow upbringing where your personality was suppressed. You are not comfortable mixing with people, you have a lack of confidence and in general tend to feel that other people are better than you. You may not be assertive and you do not expect very much from life.

You are not alone; Staff at the Clinic often meet people who are similar. It is usually because your upbringing, or the lifestyle of your parents, moulded you in this way. You may now have come to the point in your life where you feel you are missing out, but lack the courage to make changes.

Life can be rich and full of interesting experiences but you must take things slowly. The most important rule is to expand your mind and your expectations slowly enough so that you have lots of successes, no matter how small. If you are shy, the next step is not to try to become a politician; why not start by having coffee with a neighbour.

The usual treatment at the Clinic is the gentle expanding of your horizons. The key is often meeting new people and feeling confident in doing so. Everything is done at a controlled pace, not pushing too hard and risking failure, but building on small success.

Over a period, you will find that you will be able to accomplish lots of things that you felt were impossible. Though you will be the same person, your friends and family will feel that you appear to have grown in stature.

The staff at the Clinic find personal development one of the most rewarding experiences.
