Testimonials

"I had the pleasure of attending a presentation by Paule in part with Suffer Out Loud and later having the opportunity to talk with him one-on-one. The best way I can describe Paule is as a visionary. He takes time to understand what others are expressing and finds collaborative methods to build towards the common goal."

This training is important, and I encourage everyone to attend,
as it applies not necessarily just to work, but to life...it made things we like to think we know real and unforgettable.

STIGMA M&D'S FLAGSHIP PROGRAM

Every Human's Journey

Every Human’s Journey (EHJ) is an innovative, self-guided personal development model that integrates mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral theory, Jungian psychology, and Joseph Campbell’s The Hero’s Journey. Drawing on real-life experiences rather than rigid formulas, EHJ is designed to help individuals enhance autonomy, self-awareness, and authenticity. Initially beta-tested with men, the program is now being trialed with women, within rehab and recovery settings, and being considered as a potential tool for counselors—laying the foundation for an evidence-based model with diverse applications in personal growth, relationships, and leadership.

Authenticity & Personal Growth:

Guide participants in navigating challenges and uncovering their true selves by exploring themes of authenticity, self-discovery, and empowerment. This journey encourages alignment with personal values and a deeper understanding of one’s unique path.

 
 

Emotional Regulation & Resilience:

Provide strategies to manage emotional responses, reduce reactivity, and build resilience. Participants learn to embrace discomfort as an opportunity for growth, rather than viewing it as an obstacle.

 
 

Empathy & Relational Growth:

Encourage participants to practice vulnerability, build trust, and deepen empathy toward themselves and others. This includes developing skills for authentic communication and creating supportive relationships within the group environment.
