For the people who have spent years hiding parts of themselves.

Shame is exhausting. Keeping a secret, whether it is about something done to you, something you carry alone, or a part of yourself you have never shown anyone, takes more energy than most people realize.

This course is about finally putting it down.

Maybe it is a secret nobody knows. Maybe it is a part of yourself wrapped in so much shame you can barely look at it. Maybe you have spent years numbing, performing, holding it together on the outside while something quietly ate away at you on the inside.

Then this course was built for you.

Over six weeks this self paced course will go into the places most people never talk about. Shame. Secrets. Numbing. Anxiety. Vulnerability. And what it actually takes to stop hiding and find your way back to yourself.

You are in the right place if:

You are carrying a secret wrapped in shame.

You have been numbing with food, alcohol, sex, busyness, or anything else that takes the edge off.

You look like you have it together on the outside but feel completely disconnected on the inside.

You have been through something you have never told anyone. STD´s, rape, abuse, molestation, or something else that left a mark you have been carrying alone.

You are exhausted from hiding and ready to begin finding your way home.

What is inside:

Six weeks of video lessons featuring trauma informed experts, psychotherapists, and people with lived experience of shame, secrets, and the journey back to themselves.

Weekly reflection prompts and visual journalling practices.

A practical framework for sharing your truth safely when you are ready.

A closing integration practice to land everything you have learned.

What people are saying

When I met Kirsty I was so moved by her story and her courage. I was drawn to her strength and I wanted a piece of that, so I joined the online course.

The course work allowed me to turn a vicious cycle of shame, low self-esteem, denial, sadness and loneliness into feeling supported, having hope, and really being in a place of acceptance, focusing on the solution.

The week 5 video hit the nail on the head for me, teaching me how to express my truth in a healthy, loving way. It's been a process, learning how to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. It has also been the most loving thing that I can do for myself.

This work is for anyone who wants to grow learn, accept and challenge their shame, guilt, loneliness, or negative self-talk. I would take it again with a friend! Changing the way I see the world and how I fit into it.

First and foremost I need to thank you Kirsty , this course has helped me in so many ways. I have literally changed the way I think.

In the beginning I was not sure if this would help me , because to be honest I have deep roots and those roots are grounded with a lot of pain , and grief , a very troubled life ..so I really was apprehensive but I told myself I was going to do this and give it my all , after the first day I was hooked ...I realized no matter what your root is bound to it can be broke free.

What I enjoyed most about the class was the way the class was laid out. The journaling I LOVED it. It took me places that I had not been willing to go in some time.

It was a life changing experience that can't be summed up in one paragraph . Thank you Kirsty , for your kindness and understanding of all forms of problems .

My heart was broken and still has many cracks but if superglue had a name on it Kirsty’s stamp would be in my heart

...she has helped me more than she can know ...for 6 weeks she took my mind from the deep darkness of grief and allowed me to grieve in the light.

You can't cure someone in weeks Kirsty Akaal is not a miracle worker but she does change lives, it takes more than a snap of her fingers to make us see ...she gives us choices and with her guidance we take that road and we face head on what it offers us.

Kirsty Akaal

For 30 years, I have walked the path I now guide others through. The path that trauma, healing and awakening takes us on.

After my TEDx talk on secrets and shame, and years of deep healing work in Mexico, I created a body of work rooted in one simple truth: secrets keep us sick, and truth sets us free.

If you´re ready to heal, I will help shine a light on the pathway home to yourself and to support you in remembering the truth of who you are.
