Taking care of myself, by hotelier & entrepreneur Christian Coll

It took a snowboarding accident – mercifully minor – to jolt me into a major commitment to change.

I was about to turn 50 and my relationship pattern resembled a revolving door. A UK-based psychologist who’d been helping me work out why, finally suggested Hoffman. At first, I resisted. But when yet another relationship ended, I realised I needed to confront the deeper forces shaping my life.

The Process was transformational. Between the sessions with my psychologist and the work I did on the course, I became aware of my ADHD traits. For the first time, I could clearly see the impact of my childhood: the absence of emotional support, the strictness of boarding school, and the way I had internalised shame.

I’d always kept most people at a distance – to the detriment of relationships – and I wanted to address that too. I asked myself ‘what’s the cost to me if I don’t change?’

Most of all, I recall the sheer joy and positivity of the week. Seeing others on the course having breakthroughs and being vulnerable really helped me re-connect with my own feelings. It was really humbling to see people open up and ‘be real’...

My fear of abandonment and of being ‘short changed’ was identified and I understood how this had dictated my approach to life and how I’d shown up. I’d always been very self-sufficient and, in doing this, I hadn’t let people in or was as giving and generous as I’d like to be. The penny dropped; it is hard to relate to others authentically when you are driven by your patterns. Understanding those barriers and turning the dial down has allowed me to finally let love in and now that is now my default mode I practice; I operate less and less from a place of insecurity...'
