I was depressed, confused, humiliated and desperate when my wife separated from me.  I prayed and studied the Bible scriptures for guidance, when I found Compassion Coach online.  Denis' calm, compassionate and very knowledgeable approach was instrumental to my recovery.  Through his program I learned how to establish myself again.  It taught me how to create a healthy self-esteem, how to recognise hurt in me and others, and most importantly how to prevent anger.  It taught me how to feel powerful without hurting others, how to be compassionate in the heat of an arguement, and how to act in my best long-term interest.  Whether my wife comes back or not, I'll be a much better person: more joyful, self-sufficient and emotionally mature.  The principles used are very practical, it can be used in relationships and at work.  It even ties in with some of the teachings of Jesus Christ!

Using online video counselling, I thought it would be impersonal, but exactly that provided some sort of comfort which allowed me to open up and talk about intimate things that I have not been able to tell anyone before.

The program exceeded all my expectations.

This is life-changing stuff.  Thanks for your personal interest.

I commenced the Compassion Program with high expectations.  There was a lot at stake in my personal life with a strong likelihood that my wife was going to leave me (along with my two sons) if I could not resolve my outbursts of anger.

I am happy to report that my expectations have not only been fulfilled, but suppassed.  The program that Denis rolled out is well-paced and easy to integrate into normal work-a-day life.  It is really up to the individual how much effort they apply to adopting the practices and completing weekly homework assignments.  This course itself is very powerful - simple and direct and easy to understand.  It resounds with truth.

At the completion of the course, I feel that every cent and second that I have invested in Denis's program has been well spent.  My life is richer.  My relationships are stronger.  I am content and happy within myself.  The simple techniques that I have been taught will assist me for the rest of my life.  The understanding that I now have about my core value will also endure.

I sincerely recommend this course to anyone and everyone.

I give permission to use my testimony, name, and contact details to promote Compassion Coach Denis Hay and the Compassion Core Value Program.

Communication on a weekly basis allowed me to discuss the course notes and ask questions - without that weekly forum, the course would not be very effective.

Don't change a thing - It worked perfectively for me.

Honestly, Denis is a very effective trainer - listening carefully and at all times, respectful, providing his own personal insights and valuable observations - thanks very much Denis.

I have read many books (self help) and received counselling in the past in an attempt to heal my internal pain and anger with the world.  Since completing the "Compassion Program", my life has changed dramatically.  I can now truly say that I have healed my pain and taken back the power that I inadvertently gave away in the past.

Before the Compassion Program I thought I had an anger problem, as it turns out, I had a resentment problem.  I am now walking in the bright and delightful light of my inner core value.  Thank you Denis Hay.

"I would like to write in support of a programme run by Mr Denis Hay which can be used both men and women who wish to better manage their anger. It comprises weekly sessions over 10-12 weeks using course materials that enable the participant to explore the reasons behind their inappropriate anger, and encourages them to relate more compassionately to others. The programme explores the oft times unhealthy dynamics in a relationship that perpetuate and exacerbate conflict, and offers realistic solutions."

"I can wholeheartedly recommend Mr Hay’s programme as I have personally benefited from undertaking this course. Mr Hay has considerable experience in this area of counselling, and I found him personable as well as a skilled communicator."

 "I would like to thank Denis Hay very much for giving me a wonderful presentation of this powerful course.  The Compassion Program and Anger Regulation is precisely what I needed in my life.  It has given me self-knowledge and many positive coping skills to regulate my anger by learning and experiencing compassion and love for myself and others.  In such a short time my self-esteem and feeling of well-being has elevated enormously.  My name is Terry John Austin and I have no hesitation in Denis using my name in any aspect of this program."

"A lot of my anger and confusion is now gone.  I am beginning to understand things that controlled me.  Now I control them.  Peace of mind and dealing with others is becoming easier."

"This program has helped me understand myself and my family.  Also, a lot of help in the workplace as well."

"Over the program I have learnt that compassion gives me a feeling of emotional power.  And I've taken control of my life.  I have learnt that laying blame makes me feel worse than the person on the receiving end.  I value my loved ones more.  I feel more responsible for my own actions. I have found that pride and bad self-esteem made me an obnoxious pain in the ass.  Whereas genuine pride has taught me that I am a special person and people treat me differently because of it.  I've learnt to love myself.  That I am lovable.  And I am worthy.  Complementing all these over the past few months has made me a happy person and family and friends now want and welcome my company."

"The most useful part of the program was understanding Core Hurts and Core Values.  Understanding compassion and the effects of blame / anger.  Realising that I am not alone and other people experience the same troubles that I do."

"My wife says I am a changed person.  I no longer "lose it" when frustrated or angry and I can now have a disagreement with her without getting personal."

"The most useful part of the program for me was learning compassion and self-compassion, HEALS and empowering children.  Also where anger comes from and what it's uses are and it's side effects."

"I have been so greatful that I have learned to use the "self-emotional regulation skills" taught in the program, and will persevere to be a model for my family to help them grow and be able to heal their Core Hurts.  I still have a lot to work on to improve myself (empowerment).  I strongly recommend the program and will talk about it to friends and colleagues.  It is a very wise and good investment for self-development."

"HEALS was very good for me and particularly for my self-esteem.  I was able to recognise the feelings of my partner and to really hear her.  I learnt not to internalise her hurt and to validate her as a person."

"The most useful part of the program for me was gaining knowledge of the brain through the HEALS steps.  In general I found the program gave me an immence new and positive awareness about my problems, and solutions to solve them."

"The program gave me an overall view of cognitive thinking and the ability to take a step backwards and to view the other person as an individual."

"From the program I learnt self-control when dealing with situations, respect for others' feelings, emotions and Core Hurts, and compassion for myself and family members."

"The program taught me about taking responsibility for how I feel.  I can control inside me, even if outside me is outside my control."
