What you built is real.
From the outside it is still working.
From the inside, holding it together has become the actual job.
The Year is twelve months of taking that apart.
Why a year, and not one conversation
The Cut works when there is one place the story and the reality have come apart.
Name that place and the rest reorganizes around it.
Sometimes there is no single place.
The thing slowing you down is not one belief you could find and pull.
It is the whole set of them, built into each other, holding up everything above.
Pull one and the structure stays standing on the others.
There is no single conversation that reaches that. This is exactly for that situation.
Not a decision you have been avoiding or a pattern you observed.
The whole way your life got organized: the logic that arranged your work, relationships, the direction of your life,
your lifestyle choices, how you experienced everyday.
None of it ever examined, because it never had to be.
It was working.
What gets taken apart
What gets taken apart is the set of beliefs arranging your decisions, your relationships, your work, your body,
your money, and your time, never looked at. Beliefs that delivered.
The ones you never had a reason to question because the results were the evidence they worked.
They did work. They also built what you are now trying to operate from, and somewhere along the way operating it became heavier than living.
What gets taken apart is not you. It is the construction that has been mistaken as you: the internal logic that explained why you had to keep going, the justifications you stopped questioning, the stories that made all of it feel inevitable.
Across the year each piece becomes visible, and each one stops running underneath your awareness.
There is no "new person" at the end. What is left is what was already there before any of it got built on top of it.
The one thing that decides whether this works
When something true gets named about you, do you move toward it or away from it. It is visible almost immediately, and it does not require you to be calm or open or ready. It can look like silence, or argument, or resistance, as long as the resistance is the kind that wants to know rather than the kind that protects.
The capacity to look at this honestly needs to be there.
What is being tested is whether and to what extend you are willing to be taken apart.
When this is not for you
You are in psychiatric crisis. That is clinical work, and this is not.
You are looking for development, a tool, or an experience as the main thing.
You experience what you are maintaining as a choice you are "consciously" making.
You want a new identity at the end.
None of those are wrong to want.
But they are not things you will find in this work.
How the year is built
The year moves through several multi-day immersions. We make the arrangements together.
The locations are chosen to strip the ordinary context out from under you. Coastlines, mountains, forests.
Asia mostly, anchored in Thailand. Unfamiliar ground takes away the things you use to stay coherent without thinking, the route to work, the role at the table, the thousand small confirmations of who you are.
With those gone, what is actually holding you up shows itself.
Between the immersions, deep sessions, online, each one working live from whatever the last weeks surfaced.
You have direct access across the year. When something needs naming you reach me, and when writing is not enough we get on a call. Not reaching out when nothing needs naming is also part of it.
Somatic baseline support runs in parallel, inside the immersions, delivered by an experienced professional.
The function is regulation, not exploration. When the work outpaces what thinking can hold, the body takes the rest.
What it produces
The set of beliefs you built a life on is no longer running underneath your awareness, unseen.
The stories that explained why continuation was necessary are visible as stories, not as reality.
You stop spending energy to hold things together.
What does not happen: a transformation arc, a new identity, a sense of arrival, a path forward laid out by anyone but you. The year produces clarity about what is structurally true.
What happens after the year is yours and yours only.
Two conversation, and what follows
The first is a 45-minute conversation. No fee. It reads for whether something real is going on,
and whether you can move toward what surfaces rather than away from it.
If The Year seems to be the right direction, the conversation ends without an offer, and a second conversation gets scheduled. It runs 60 to 90 minutes, free, with a different function.
It reads for three things: whether you can sustain a year of this without collapsing into it, whether what would happen between you and me can carry the weight of what will come up, and whether your life context can absorb the year without becoming the central crisis of it.
If the answer is yes to all three, the invitation comes directly.
If it requires convincing, it is the wrong moment, and I will say so.
There is no maybe. A maybe is a no that has not been said yet.
A written path, if you prefer writing first
Some people locate what they are carrying more clearly in writing than in speaking.
If that is you, there is a written path. There are five questions.
You answer in writing, in your own words.
I read each one and reply within 72 hours with what I notice.
If a conversation follows from there, it gets scheduled.
