I was in a dark place

I was in a dark place. I was anxious and depressed. January of 2025 my dog passed. I felt as if my world was over. I put so much love and attention into her and I couldn't save her from the cancer. She provided me more emotional support than I understood until after I lost her. She was my mom's dog so that made it doubly tough. I felt stuck, could not seem to lose weight like I could before. Also I couldn't seem to relax. I felt like I was on edge constantly. I didn't enjoy the things I used to enjoy. At first I wasn't sure about Ty's program because there's a lot of programs out there that claim to eliminate anxiety. I didn't necessarily feel like spending any more money right now. Therapy has helped me to a degree in the past and present. I decided to work with Ty because he was having a promotion that made it a bit less expensive. Since I worked with his program, I feel better prepared to deal with stress, change and self-discovery. Ty's program, coupled with other things I do like exercise, breathing and my own form of spirituality, which in my case is Christianity, has given me a much better ability to deal with life. However with Ty's program, I feel the freshness of his program really helped me a lot. I don't feel the fear I used to in dealing with potential problems or challenges. While I'm still a guy that likes to be active, I also feel better equipped to relax and enjoy the world and ground myself at the beach. For a long time I struggled to relax. My old self years ago was better at relaxing, but certain curveballs threw me off, and I feel that with this program, time, and my other mental health activities and physical activities, I am in a much better position than I was a half a year ago. I do plan to keep talking to Ty in sessions at least monthly as opposed to our weekly sessions, as I feel like I'm doing better and do not need the sessions as frequently. However, I like to check in with him and bounce any possible problems that may come up in the future. If you're struggling with any mental health concerns, I can honestly recommend Ty Hicks. However, you do need to put in the work: self-discovery, face your demons head on, and be honest with yourself and others.

Throw away the meds, and recondition your mind for permanent change

Before I started working with Ty, anxiety was running my life. Years of deployments had taken a toll. When I came home, my wife had everything handled and I felt like my role as a husband and father had shrunk. I was constantly in fight-or-flight, barely sleeping, and struggling to function at work. Even simple things I used to enjoy, like working on cars or doing projects around the house, felt like heavy chores. My nervous system was on high alert 24/7. Underneath that, I’d started telling myself some ugly stories: that my wife didn’t really need me, that she could “lift me out” of the family and they’d be fine, that my expertise wasn’t really valued at work. My self-worth was completely tied to other people’s reactions. At home, I stepped out of my role as a leader and my wife unconsciously stepped into it just to keep things running. I took almost everything she said as criticism, then I’d shut down and isolate for hours or days. It made her feel emotionally unsafe and made me feel even smaller. I’d tried meds and traditional routes. The side effects and “treat the symptoms” approach just left me more discouraged. So when a stranger on Facebook DM’d me a link to Ty’s group, I was skeptical. I’d done a lot of “solutions” that didn’t solve anything. But on our first call, the questions Ty asked were unlike anything I’d heard from a provider before. In one hour he helped me see how my nervous system was chasing certainty and external validation above everything else, and how that was driving my anxiety. That was the first time I felt real hope, so I decided to go all in. Over the next months we unpacked my values, my archetypes, and the core memories that had wired my nervous system to live in permanent threat mode. I learned how to actually convince my body I’m safe, instead of white-knuckling my way through panic. As I got centered, I started reclaiming my role at home in a healthy, secure way. I stopped looking to my wife for constant reassurance and stopped taking her emotions personally. That gave her permission to relax out of the “I have to be in charge of everything” mode and back into her natural feminine energy. Today, life feels completely different. I’ve started a new job with a ton of autonomy and I’m excited to get up and go to work. At home, I lead from service, not from fear or passivity. My wife feels safer and more supported, our connection and desire are stronger, and my kids are getting a calmer, more present dad instead of a man hiding in the bedroom with his thoughts. Most importantly, my sense of worth comes from who I choose to be, not from whether everyone around me is happy every second. If you’re a guy whose anxiety, deployments, or self-doubt have slowly hollowed out your marriage and your confidence—especially if meds and talk therapy haven’t gotten to the root—I can’t recommend working with Ty strongly enough. This process didn’t just manage my symptoms; it gave me back my marriage, my family, and my identity as a man.

Life changing

When I first found Ty’s work, my life was at rock bottom. I was on heavy medication, drinking at least a bottle and a half of liquor a day (often more), and had been labeled with bipolar, schizoaffective disorder, and complex PTSD. I hated myself and pretty much everyone else. I was suicidal, self-harming, and genuinely believed the world was out to get me. My self-worth was on the floor, I had almost no friends, and I honestly thought the rest of my life would just be a cycle of psychiatrists, meds, and threats of being hospitalized. I tried doing “all the right things”: endless therapy, changing medications, even losing 30 kilos with a personal trainer after a doctor warned me I might not live to see 31. On the outside I looked better, but inside nothing had changed. I still drank, still felt broken, and still believed my mental health problems were permanent and unsolvable. So when I first saw Ty’s program through a Facebook link, I assumed it was a scam. I’d been conditioned to think there was no other way apart from the mental health system. But I was also exhausted and out of options. I tried some of his free exercises around focus, language, and physiology once a day for a couple of weeks, and to my surprise I actually started to feel a bit better. That was the first time in years I felt even a small sense of hope, so I decided, “I’ve got nothing to lose,” and signed up. The changes since then have been huge and, more importantly, lasting. I’ve been sober for nearly three years. I live on my own, work as a collections officer and stay calm with difficult people instead of exploding or taking everything personally. I stopped people-pleasing in dating, set clear boundaries, and now I’m in a healthy relationship that actually aligns with my values. I even volunteer as a SMART Recovery facilitator, running groups for people struggling with alcohol, drugs, and other behaviors. Internally, I’m a completely different person. I no longer walk around with constant rage and self-hatred. I question my thoughts instead of believing every story my mind throws at me. I use the tools Ty taught me, like centering myself and “turning the dials down” in my internal control room, almost automatically now. Things that used to trigger days or weeks of obsessing just pass through. I’m careful about what I give my energy to, and I’m slowly rebuilding my relationships with my family from a place of love instead of blame. If you feel trapped in diagnoses, labels, and coping mechanisms that aren’t really changing anything, I would absolutely recommend working with Ty. His tools helped me go from wanting to hurt myself and others to genuinely wanting to help people and build a life I’m proud of.

Working with Ty over the last few years…

Working with Ty over the last few years has been amazing. The knowledge that he has is something I had never been taught. Getting in touch with him is very simple, and the videos have more information than you can take in from watching just once. This would be the best investment you could make in yourself and your future.

This did more for my anxiety than years of therapy

I’ve had anxiety for a long time, but it mostly showed up at work. Constant overthinking. Second-guessing everything. If I made a mistake, even a small one, my brain acted like it was a disaster. I was always tense. Always “on.” And I honestly thought if I slowed down at all, everything would fall apart. I did therapy for years. It helped me understand why I’m like this, but it didn’t stop the anxiety. I was still replaying emails, conversations, decisions. Still bringing that stress home. What was different with Ty is that we didn’t just talk about it. He showed me how my anxiety was basically a conditioned response. My brain learned to treat mistakes like danger. Once we worked on that, things started to change pretty quickly. I still care about my work. I didn’t lose motivation like I was afraid of. I’m just not anxious all the time anymore. My wife noticed before I did. I’m calmer. More present. And months later, it hasn’t come back. I’m not managing anxiety now. It’s just not running my life anymore.

One night

One night, my daughter came up to me after spilling her juice and said, “I’m sorry, Mommy. I’ll be better next time.” It broke my heart because I knew she was mirroring me—my constant apologies, my belief that I wasn’t good enough. That was the moment I realized I couldn’t keep living like this. Therapy helped me talk through some things, but it didn’t show me how to change. Ty’s program was eye-opening. He helped me see how my thoughts were shaping not just my life, but my family’s too. He doesn’t sugarcoat—he tells you what you need to hear and then gives you the tools to make real changes. Today, I feel confident and capable, and I see my daughter growing up with that same energy. It’s priceless.

When I first connected with Ty, I was at one of the lowest points in my life. I had already cut out alcohol, recreational drugs, and a lot of people from my life, but inside I felt emotionally drained, lonely, and like there was something fundamentally wrong with me. My self-worth felt completely dependent on my exes and other people’s opinions. My mind was a constant loop of automatic negative thoughts like “nobody wants me around” and “I’m a sad, weak individual.” I wasn’t sleeping well, I had no energy, and I was stuck in overthinking about everything. To be honest, I was very skeptical at first. I felt like I was in this emotional vortex where external events—a breakup and other difficult situations—had “broken” me, and nothing was really going to change that. I remember thinking that life was just happening to me and that I was basically at the mercy of whatever the universe or other people decided to do. The only reason I reached out anyway was a small, quiet sense that I couldn’t keep living like that, and that maybe having someone outside of my situation who could tell me the truth as it really is might help. Working with Ty over the past months has been completely different from anything I’ve experienced in therapy. It didn’t feel like I was going in to be “fixed.” Instead, he walked me through tools that helped me understand my mind, spot distortions, and stop giving my power away. I learned to trace my automatic negative thoughts back to where they actually started, to separate myself from the past, and to see that other people’s poor choices are not my responsibility and not a reflection of my value as a person. Internally, my relationship with myself has changed dramatically. I’m much kinder to myself and to others, without feeling obligated to tolerate behavior that isn’t aligned with my values. I don’t automatically believe every thought that pops into my head anymore. When I do get caught in a thinking loop, I notice it faster, question it, and come back to what’s actually true. My self-worth no longer feels like it’s up for negotiation based on somebody else’s approval. Externally, life feels lighter and more straightforward. I’ve picked up hobbies again, I’m more open to meeting new people and I showed up very differently in my career. For example, I recently went through a job interview in a new area. In the past, I would have over-analyzed every question and replayed the conversation for days. This time I just answered honestly, stayed present, and was progressed to the next stage. Everyday things like reading, exercising, or talking to customers at work now feel simple instead of like a constant mental battle. Overall, this work has helped me see reality more clearly, reconnect with who I really am, and believe in the potential I have if I choose to use it. If you’re stuck in anxiety, overthinking, and low self-worth—especially if you feel like you’ve tried other things that only gave you temporary relief—I would strongly recommend working with Ty. It has been a very empowering experience and has given me tools I can continue to use long after the sessions themselves.

I was the person who always said yes. Helping everyone. Being available. Trying not to upset anyone. Inside, I was anxious all the time. I worried constantly about disappointing people or being misunderstood. I tried therapy and was told to set boundaries, but that advice never really stuck. The guilt and anxiety were still there. Ty helped me see that my anxiety wasn’t random. It was coming from years of putting myself last and being afraid of how people would react. What I liked is that it wasn’t about becoming cold or selfish. It was about changing the patterns that kept me stuck. Now I say no without spiraling. And honestly, my relationships are better. My family noticed I’m not as tense anymore. I don’t feel like I’m failing people all the time.

There was a day when my dog stood at the door, leash in her mouth, and I just sat there crying. I couldn’t bring myself to leave the house. The thought of people, of wide-open spaces—it was too much. I felt like my world was shrinking more every day. I’d tried everything: therapy, breathing exercises, apps. They worked for a while, but I always ended up back where I started. Ty’s program wasn’t like that. He didn’t let me wallow or make excuses, but he was also deeply empathetic. His method showed me how to break free of the patterns that kept me stuck. Now, my dog and I walk miles every week, and I even joined a community hiking group. It’s a freedom I never thought I’d have again.

I had panic attacks around travel for years. Airports, long drives, even planning trips made my anxiety spike. I cancelled plans a lot. Or I’d go and just feel anxious the entire time. It made me feel unreliable and honestly kind of embarrassed. I tried coping tools and breathing techniques. They worked sometimes, but the panic always came back. Ty didn’t give me more tools to manage it. He showed me why my brain was reacting this way in the first place. Once we worked on that, the panic stopped. I took a solo trip last month. No panic attacks. No anxiety meds. No backup plan. And the anxiety didn’t come back afterward. That’s never happened before.

For years, every ache, every twinge felt like the beginning of the end. I’d lose hours Googling symptoms, spiraling into fear. The worst part was knowing, deep down, it was probably all in my head—but that didn’t make it feel any less real. I honestly didn’t think anything could help. Therapy? Been there. Meds? They numbed the anxiety, but the obsessive thoughts stayed. Ty’s program was my last shot, and I’m so glad I took it. He has this way of making you feel seen but also calling you out when you need it. His method isn’t about masking the anxiety—it’s about rewiring the root cause. Now, I can focus on living my life without being consumed by “what ifs.”

I still remember the look on my kids’ faces. I was standing in the kitchen, clutching the counter, gasping for air. They were so scared, and I felt powerless. That was my breaking point. I had to figure this out—for them and for me. I’d already tried therapy. It helped a little, but it didn’t stop the attacks. Medications just made me feel like a zombie. When I found Ty’s program, I wasn’t sure it would be any different, but it was. He got straight to the point—no fluff, no sugarcoating. He helped me uncover what was really triggering my attacks and taught me how to retrain my brain. Ty made sure I stayed on track, and I’m so glad he did. Now, I can actually breathe—not just physically, but emotionally too.
