I am currently part of the TTK rehabilitation programme. It is more than a programme, but rather a life
changing experience were you get to learn something quite unique, not only about life in general,
but about how you as an individual see yourself in it and understand it so that you can be all you can
be. It may sound like a dream to some, but to me it meant a reality that I’m living in right now that is
more real than you could ever imagine.

Ten years ago while I was in prison as a young offender, I didn’t think much about myself and what I
was going to do with my life when I got out of prison. To tell the truth, I really didn’t care. Prison wasn’t
the best place to be for a sixteen year old. At the time I didn’t think much of myself. I knew that I was
there to pay for my crime.

I was there because II had committed murder. The worst part is that I did it at home and I killed my
mom. I felt that I was nothing, even less than nothing actually. If I were to die the next day in a gang
fight in prison I would not really care.

One day a guy arrived who was offering a programme in the prison that kind of caught my attention.
It was John. His presentation and what followed was phenomenal. Just by learning some simple facts
about oneself and how the mind works is only really the tip of the ice berg. I learned that self image
and the way you perceive your true self, while learning to deal with the fictional self, is truly essential
in bringing about a change in anybody.
What I learned in that prison classroom over those eight months really changed my perception of the
way I saw myself. If it were not for the programme John presented, I would probably still be in prison
with a low self image doing wrong things, hurting myself in the end.

As I said in the beginning, it has been a real learning experience. Every positive thing that you think,
do, and respond to, comes back with positive feedback and results, that you can use as stepping
stones to your success in whatever you choose to do.

I have been bad, even worse than most, yet since using what I learned in TTK and applying it in
my life I have become and still am becoming better in everything I do. Now that is power – power to
change one’s self and to do better at every turn. This just phenomenal. Thank you John, for your time
and effort.

”Just want to say thank you so much John for taking the time to have this workshop. As we all know there is no quick fix and that any transformation takes constant everyday affirmations and practice. But we can all do this. We can make a difference in our own lives. Surround yourselves with like-minded positive people. This really helps.  Also start to practice an attitude of gratitude every single day, be thankful for everything you have, no matter how small and remember what you speak about…you bring about, so be aware of your thoughts all the time for your thoughts will influence your actions.”

Regards,

Hi John and TTK

I just wanted to express my gratitude to you for the role you played in helping me become one of the very few (sadly) who make it through addiction.

When you met me I was an absolute mess with very little hope and yet with your unconditional acceptance and love you ended up playing an integral role in my recovery. I often think about where my life was at, where it could have been today and where it actually is and the conclusion is always this:

I am so fortunate that I have been blessed with an amazing second chance and whilst there are regrets (and still some distance to travel), nothing compares to the feeling of knowing I’m finally free and am not on that ultimate of destructive paths.

With love and fondness
