How have your inner child wounds shaped your personality?
Uncover the hidden fears and pain that shaped your personality, achievements, confidence, and relationships.
You’re smart. Capable. Well-groomed. You’ve done the work.
But something keeps getting in the way and it’s not about skill.
Maybe it looks like this:
— You wonder what people think of you long after you leave the meeting
— You are not confident deep down at all. You over think and second-guess.
— You try so hard to be liked or accepted by people-pleasing, by putting on a 'certain persona'
— You try to speak up, but find yourself speaking up behind the scenes to friends or your partner instead.
— You struggle to connect deeply with people because you're constantly putting on a 'certain version' of yourself
— You play so small for fear of being judged and rejected
— You put effort into relationships, but end up feeling unseen, unheard, or misunderstood.
— You try to be your best at work but somehow, you always feel like you’re still “not quite enough”
And when things still don’t improve, you might…
-
Find another job
-
Find another partner
-
Find another friend
-
Find another distraction to cope with your emotions
-
Find another book or podcast
But deep down, the frustration grows—because none of those things touch the real issue:
You’re not living from your true self. You’re living from the version of you that was shaped by fear, judgment, and early survival.
This psychotherapeutic workshop is your space to change that.
The Neuroscience and Psychology behind your personality
Your True Self vs. Your Coping Self
Who you are today may not be who you were meant to be—
but who you learned to be to stay safe.
Explore how your biology, upbringing, and emotional experiences shaped the version of you that shows up in the world.
Discover which parts of your personality are innate—and which parts are adaptations built from trauma responses, people-pleasing, and survival strategies.
The Roots of Your Struggles
Beneath every emotional trigger, perfectionist streak, or self-sabotage pattern…there’s a deeper truth: your core pain.
Learn how this pain has quietly influenced your confidence, relationships, and the roles you unconsciously play.
Understand how much of your identity has been shaped by fear—and how to reclaim it with clarity and compassion.
You are not your pain. You’re the one becoming aware of it.
Neuroscience of Change
True change doesn’t happen through willpower—it happens in the brain.
This workshop is built to support neuroplasticity: the rewiring of your thought patterns and emotional responses.
You’ll learn how to interrupt old stories, shift limiting beliefs, and activate new, empowering neural pathways that support authenticity, calm, and confidence.
This is not mindset work. It’s nervous system work.
Hi, I'm Lou Olivia!
Cl. Hyp., Dip. CBT., MSc Neuroscience & Psychology
I am the psychotherapist behind this repeatedly running programme who will be taking you through this transformation hand-in-hand
In my practice, I take on an integrative approach to mental health, combining neuroscience with mind-body practices to support deep, lasting transformation using tools like CBT, EFT, inner-child healing, somatic awareness, and clinical hypnotherapy.
What you'll get
Psychotherapy + Psychoeducation
This isn’t a surface-level mindset workshop. It’s a structured experience that blends evidence-based psychotherapeutic techniques with powerful psychoeducation—giving you the “why” and the “how” behind your patterns, your emotional responses, and your healing.
Expect transformation through emotional clarity, not just inspiration.
Neuroplasticity Toolkit
You’ll receive a curated toolkit that supports real psychological rewiring—including schema guides, coping style maps, and the 'How', step-by-step.
Because change doesn’t happen through willpower—it happens through repetition, insight, and new neural pathways.
Live guidance
This is not a listen-only masterclass. You’ll be gently guided in real-time with live practical facilitation, emotional support, so you’re never navigating your inner world alone.
by a psychotherapist.
You’ll be seen, supported, and safely witnessed as you meet the truth of who you are.
You
You are the most important part of this workshop.
You’ll leave with more than information—you’ll leave with a felt sense of self-trust, emotional clarity, and the tools to show up as your true self in every room, relationship, and role you move through.
You don’t need to become someone new. You just need to return to who you were before you thought you had to be anything else.
I always thought I was just naturally anxious and overthinking was part of who I am. This workshop helped me realise I’ve been living in constant self-protection mode—always adjusting to what I think others expect. It’s the first time I’ve felt like I could see the difference between my true self and my coping self. I left feeling clearer, lighter, and strangely… at peace.

I didn’t share much during the workshop, but inside, something shifted. I’ve always struggled with feeling ‘not enough’—at work, in relationships, even with friends. This space made me see where that came from. I don’t feel ‘fixed,’ but I feel seen. And now I know where to start showing up differently.

I didn’t realise how much of my personality was actually shaped by fear. Like... I always thought being independent and in control was just who I am. But it was actually me avoiding vulnerability. This workshop wasn’t fluffy. it was real. Deep. Challenging. But necessary.
