Early experiences of trauma shaped me into an excessive “people pleaser,” avoiding conflict at all costs and neglecting my own boundaries. The fear of confrontation outweighed my inner chaos, and I found myself silently enduring rather than expressing my thoughts and desires. Yet, through these challenges, I emerged as an empathetic individual, unable to ignore the suffering of others.

As Marisa Peer, the founder of RTT, beautifully phrases it, “Things happen for us, not to us.”

Despite my initial dreams of becoming a psychologist, life led me down a different road. Leaving Poland for the UK marked the beginning of my journey into adulthood, teaching me resilience and self-understanding as I navigated life’s challenges independently.

Building a family and raising up my children became my primary focus.

As the years passed and my children grew, I found myself craving to rediscover my own identity and purpose. It was during this crucial moment that RTT and Marisa’s teachings gracefully entered my life. They arrived precisely when I was ready to embrace them, reminding me that the universe provides guidance when we are prepared to receive it.
