Confidence Regained

This retreat is designed to address and eliminate those feelings of low self-esteem and poor confidence. It will stop you constantly putting yourself down and being undermined by experiences from the past. No longer will you spoil today by fearing tomorrow. You will learn how to improve your social and communication skills and eliminate conversation anxiety. You will become more assertive and develop a more positive mental attitude. This retreat will show you how to address being held back by stage fright or fear of public speaking. Prevent the dread of giving a public presentation or presenting at work. Shyness becomes a thing of the past. We can stop you suffering from driving nerves, examination dread, interview fears or telephone speaking. If one or more of these are your problem, this retreat is designed just for you!

Lacking in confidence and having low-self esteem holds thousands of people back from fulfilling their potential in all spheres of life, at work, socially, in leisure activities and in relationships. These problems are frequently learnt in childhood and reinforced through subsequent experience until the pattern becomes ingrained and it feels as if you will suffer like this for ever. This is not so. What has been learnt can be un-learnt and replaced with an alternative. An alternative that has a more positive, not negative, outlook on life. One that stops self-criticism and judgement. One that replaces 'Can't possibly' with 'Can Do!'. This retreat shows you how to 'de-hardwire' your brain from those damaging patterns of the past, no matter how long you may have suffered from them.

The Director of Therapy Retreats, David Keighley, will lead this retreat personally. His belief in the ability of clients who suffer from low self-esteem and poor confidence to transform their lives is remarkable. He will help you to leave this retreat believing in yourself at last.

" I decided to send David this testimonial 3 months after attending a retreat seeking help with my low self-esteem, self-confidence, and anxiety. I wanted to make sure that I could truly sustain the insightful learnings and wonderful experience and communicate honestly about it.


Pre-retreat: I felt overwhelmed, agitated, in despair, anxious and helpless in that I wasn't able to be confident in myself and in control of my life. My entire life I haven't felt good enough and I felt like I just couldn't break out of this feeling. I had learned so much about myself and felt relief from regular therapy sessions for the previous 2 years but I felt like I needed something strong to really penetrate my thoughts and change me. I've flailed for 15 years with different therapists, books, yoga, meditation, retreats, etc. I had found this immersive retreat on the internet years before but wasn't sure it would be good and financially wise but I finally decided to take the plunge.


Retreat: Amazing accommodation at the Granary, truly phenomenal. The English countryside was so refreshing, peaceful, and therapeutic. David so expertly interpreted me and gave me the most accurate and insightful assessment. He defined my issue, explained the causes, helped me understand myself and my brain, and gave me actual solutions. He interrogated me, made me re-assess my thoughts and responses, and drilled concepts and healthy considerations into my head. For once, I had a clear, concise overview of my issue and a logical, straightforward, roadmap on how to "fix myself", including specific tasks and why I needed to do them. I felt amazing after the retreat, excited to put these learnings into action and prepared to finally take control of my life. 


3 months post-retreat: The retreat has definitely changed me. The understanding and learnings I gained in my retreat unlocked my brain (if that makes sense!). I was worried I would revert back to my old self once I was back in my own environment but I'm pleased to report that I haven't. I'm still not quite where I want to be and still have to continue practicing what I've learned but I feel a lot better and able and stronger. I am more confident, I am valuing myself more, I am much happier and I feel so much better.


To David: thank you for your phenomenal work in helping those of us who suffer with low confidence;  words can't express my gratitude. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you in helping me resolve my concerns and develop a happier outlook on life. 
To others reading this: life is too short to feel miserable or hopeless. Do whatever you can (healthily and reasonably!) to make the most of your life and know it might take a lot of work but is worth it. I tried to think of anything not positive about my experience so it doesn't sound too good to be true but there's nothing. 

I highly recommend David and this retreat - it truly changed my life. I wish I had done it sooner. "
