Client Testimonials
Here’s what people are saying about the Stress Management Institute programs:
“I lost my dad when I was 14, and at 23 had still not really come to terms with the event. It was the lens I was looking at my whole life with. Your program has really helped me come to terms with it and it now has a real positive meaning to me. This course has changed my life. They should be teaching this at all high schools across Australia.”
Sandy Gupta, Gold Coast
“I had blamed myself for my child’s suicide for over a decade. What should I have done differently; if only I could have another go? No wonder I was depressed and drinking daily. The 14 day program has changed all of that around. Now every day, I live a little for my beautiful daughter and she has become a wonderful part of my life’s experience again.”
Jennifer Beer, Brisbane
“I attended the 7 day program after battling with depression after the loss of my partner four years earlier. I honestly thought that I would never feel happy again. You guys changed my mind on the meaning of my partners life … and death. I feel great now.”
Thomas Hicksen, Noosa Heads
“I honestly thought that I was not “fixable”. Over ten years with depression, doctors, courses and psychologists later … still no change. Who would have thought it was as simple as an education in stress. It was not my event! It was how I was looking at it. Thanks Craig. Thanks Stress Management Institute.”
Tom Burns, Caloundra
“I did the Stress Management Institute program after finding it on the web. After being sick for over a decade, I feel like I have a new life. Who would have believed that it was as simple as changing my mind.”
Louise Smart, Victoria
“The “Method” here is a wonderful way to understand self and others. It teaches us how to stop doing stress, anxiety and depression and accept life as is. It has been wonderful seeing others and self leave with a renewed energy and spirit and be able to see that life truly is a journey. Big thank you to all staff.”
Lesley
“I took this journey as a big leap of faith and it is the best thing I did, coming here thinking this will not help me. I am a completely transformed person. You gave me more tools how to live life, you gave me wisdom, joy, laughter, you gave “me” back. I now take every challenge as opportunity to grow. Thank you to all beautiful staff. I’m looking forward to enjoying life and living it to the fullest. All the best.”
E. Bogdanor
“I did not realize the link between my pot usage and my anxiety. Once my anxiety was removed, I have no desire to smoke anymore. You have taught me my real self esteem’s value.”
Blare Cameron, Ipswich
“I had wanted to attend a retreat which was out of my budget so I tried an educational program instead to help with my depression of five years. The 14-day program has completely re-educated me about reality. I feel like a new woman. I have a way to go, but I keep in contact with my coach by phone and one day at a time, I am getting there.”
Sally Wren, Toowoomba
“I really could not get through a day without the help of some drug. Caffeine (12 cups a day), cigarettes (2 packs a day), two bottles of wine a night and many social drugs on weekends. Stress Management Institute taught me it was not about drugs. They helped me to understand and really find myself. Life is my new and much safer drug.”
Wade Henry, Redcliff
“I had no value on my own life and hence treated those around me very poorly. I had been anorexic for two years and it was just starting to get dangerous, (35kg body weight). Stress Management Institute taught me what my anorexia was really about and reinstalled my self-esteem. I now treat those around me including myself with so much more respect. You probably saved my life”
Jacinta Merlo, Maroochydore
“I was severely depressed and could only see black in the world. Wow how times have changed!! I now feel fantastic and excited about life. This course changed my life. I am NEVER going back to the way I was.”
Sally, Melbourne
“A complete program that does not dwell on life’s little events, but totally revises the way you think. There is something for everyone, it is suited to everyone. Depression meds/traditional therapy and so called self-help now will take the backstage. This method will allow you to create a new way of thinking that will empower your life’s outlook.”
Jeremy, QLD
“Training with the Stress Management Institute has not only given me real tools to help other people change their lives, but it has hugely changed mine. The way I live, the way I think, the way I parent my two young boys and the relationship with my husband have all been positively affected by this invaluable learning.”
Jackie Hall, Author Happy Mum Handbook
“I found this method extremely effective in changing my thoughts and thus helping me overcome a very emotionally challenging period. My feeling/demeanour is notably different after doing the course. What an amazing trainer. She explained the method and taught us how to apply it in an incredible way Thank you so much!”
Mayan, Melbourne, Victoria
