In this powerful life testimony, Troy shares his struggle with addiction — an ordeal that not only threatened to destroy his marriage, relationships, and spirituality but also his consciousness of self. Battling shame and deep feelings of unworthiness, he paints a picture of the struggle that comes when one is fighting an addiction.

Unexpectedly, he found that sobriety didn’t automatically translate to happiness. Instead, it opened floodgates to suppressed emotional wounds — rejection, neglect, abandonment, loss — which he had numbed over the years with his addiction. Confronted with all this unresolved pain, he grappled with enormous bitterness, resentment, and anger, pushing him close to a suicidal abyss.

Troy discovered attachment wounds in his pursuit for help, which sparked a transformation. The newfound clarity helped him realize that these wounds were the root cause of his emotional honesty. He started cultivating healthier responses when dealing with rejection and abandonment, improving his relationships and actions towards his loved ones. On this journey, he developed the Finding Peace process and workbook — a methodology to heal the pain inside and refrain from causing misery and heartache to others.

In this transformative journey, attending a retreat was integral. Its unconventional and interactive approach to learning deeply impacted him, finally leading him to open a private practice and convert his experiences into a full-time practice. He extends an invitation to the ‘Finding Peace Retreat’ for those weighed down by rage, resentment, worry, or depression. He encourages those struggling with attachment wounds to experience a novel and creative approach to learning and finding peace amidst their challenges.

As he concludes, he shares insight on the importance of rewiring our internal narratives from negative to positive. The speaker urges us to fight the 'I'm not enough' mindset, and instead, he relentlessly emphasizes the immense capability and endurance we have as individuals.
