The Chronicles of Common Sense
I escaped Anxiety, Pure OCD, and Bipolar Depression and I can help you do the same
My old mental health challenges were only resolved when I gained a deeper, more common-sense understanding of how they function. I decided to consciously evolve and retrain my unconscious mind and body so the old thoughts and anxious feelings no longer controlled me.
As an engineer I saw the body as a system that runs on energy. Depression is often a lack of it. Anxiety is fear of being overwhelmed by it. OCD consumes it on tasks that do nothing for the life you actually want.
I researched Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and practical life skills, then applied them to my own life. That gave me real-world data on what works.
For more than twenty years now, I have worked with intelligent, emotionally exhausted over-thinkers who want to become someone new: more self-aware, trusting, optimistic, calm and courageous.
The work is to regain that precious energy and put it into actions that move you toward who you wish to become and what you desire for your life.
If that resonates, I can help you help yourself.
Listen to how I overcame my battles with anxiety and OCD
Let me share with you how, despite being high-functioning, anxiety and OCD plagued and exhausted the first half of my life; how I used radical iStory ERP to change myself and rise above them; and how I now use my obsessive tendencies to my advantage!

Here's what people are saying about working with me
Here are just a few from the stream of thank you letters and testimonials I receive. There are many more on my testimonial page.
By following a process (rather than listening to your current thoughts and feelings) you'll soon see that changing yourself is very possible.
“Sometimes, I wonder if I am even the same person as that guy who used to be so stuck. Plenty on the internet said medication-free OCD remission was “impossible” THEY WERE WRONG!“
“I am more grateful to John than anyone I’ve ever met. I went from anxious and having OCD to someone who is calm and optimistic; there was no way I could have done it without this course!”
“I just have to let you know, my OCD has left my Soul and mind completely!!!!
It is entirely gone. Everything you talk about with the energy and trauma is true.”
“I don’t actually think I say thank you enough for the changes you have facilitated in me. Genuinely, you have shifted many things within me. You are incredibly skilled at what you do, with a passion and an intellect that is both engaging and stimulating.”
“I will never forget the first time I came across one of John’s videos—it felt like a lifeline thrown to a drowning man. I had pretty much given up hope that anyone could truly understand what I was going through.”
“John, I hope your work lives on forever. There are no words to describe how life-changing the course has been.”
