Paul is considered a forerunner in the addiction, trauma healing, and awakening professional who transforms lives. He is the Founder of his approach called the Mistaken Identity Model, that someone suffers because they don't like or know who they are, a direct result of trauma usually found in early childhood experience. 

​

For more than 20 years, he transitioned into becoming a highly sought-after teacher and independent researcher on trauma and addiction. Paul graduated from Gabor Mate, a one-year intensive course for those who work with clients, in Oct 2021. This approach, called Compassion Inquiry, is a game changer because we get to the roots of our suffering. The course is like a Master's Program for healing trauma and recovery from addiction. 

​

Paul worked for four world-class treatment centers before leaving on his own six years ago. For the past six years, he has doubled up his skill to develop a comprehensive, holistic approach and interactive programs to help people overcome the effects of trauma and addictions. 

​

​Paul highlighted the link between trauma and behavior patterns stemming from a person's Mistaken Identity, which often leads to addiction, codependency, or other life challenges. Many of his clients were unaware of their unhealthy coping mechanisms, making them hard to detect. As a result, these issues either went untreated or were addressed inappropriately, preventing them from truly connecting with their authentic selves.

Paul's acts of service in this area have resulted from overcoming Complex Trauma in his own life. 

​

Paul discovered his Mistaken Identity Model from his two decades of suffering from his addiction and now thrives and recovered from his own Mistaken Identity and has never looked back. His mission is to generate a higher level of awareness for this particular mental health condition.

​

People who have worked with Paul would agree that his compassionate, non-judgmental space allows everyone to feel safe and accepted, allowing them to share their most profound hurt, pain, and truth.

Paul's favorite quote is, "Wisdom tells me I am nothing. Love tells me I am everything. And between the two, my

life flows." - Nisargadatta Maharaj
