Brendon's live interview 8 years after doing Mindshift works.

This is the best investment I ever made.

Tony’s Story

Architect

Australia

I’d always done well in life, so I kept telling myself I didn’t really have a problem. But the truth was harder to ignore. I was constantly anxious, stressed, and drinking far more than I wanted to admit. It wasn’t just affecting me — it was hurting the people I loved and the colleagues who relied on me. Deep down, I knew I wasn’t the man I wanted to be. My health was slipping, my happiness was gone, and one day I just thought, “Enough. I’m better than this.”

I tried everything. Psychologists felt too soft and surface‑level. Other programmes dragged on for weeks and left me more confused than when I started. I even spent serious money on a retreat that went nowhere. The more I searched, the more I realised how little real help exists for someone whose drinking is tied to deeper emotional patterns. My situation was complex — and most therapy simply isn’t built to unravel something like that.

Then I found Paul Heffernan.

From the first conversation, he gave me a dose of tough love wrapped in genuine compassion. He doesn’t sugar‑coat anything,and thank God for that. His approach comes from real life experience — the hard yards — and it shows. There’s a grounded humanity in the way he works that immediately made me feel safe, seen, and challenged in all the right ways.

Through the Mindshift Programme, Paul helped me uncover the emotional drivers beneath my drinking — the stress, the pressure, the unresolved stuff I’d been carrying for years. He guided me through it methodically, clearly, and with more insight than anyone I’ve ever worked with. It was intense, confronting, and absolutely life‑changing.

For the first time, I understand what’s been happening in my own head. I have tools, awareness, and a completely different way of approaching life. It’s almost hard to believe how different I feel — calmer, clearer, and finally in control.

This was the best investment I’ve ever made in myself.

— Tony

I have no doubt Paul saved my life.

Brad’s Story

CEO

New Zealand

In December of 2016, my second marriage ended after 12 months of solid Tramadol and codeine abuse. I had managed to keep anxiety and addiction reasonably well hidden; however, my behaviour deteriorated to the point that my partner kicked me out, then moved out. This came at a particularly low point in my life. Externally everything had been going well; internally, I was crashing and burning. To me, there was no alternative other than to end my miserable life.

I took what should have been a fatal dose of Tramadol, codeine and antidepressants, but I survived. It’s fair to say I was at rock bottom and desperate to change my life. In desperation, I called a friend of over 25 years.

Within hours he was sitting at the end of my bed listening to my sad story. He was caring and empathetic. It was a great relief to be able to talk to someone honestly. It had been a long time since I had been honest. He left for the night, telling me we would start the work the following morning.

The Paul that turned up the next morning was a different person. The empathy was still there, but so was the desire to tell me a few truths. There was no holding back, and he told me as it was. In being honest with me, he expected the same in return.

Paul has developed his own program he refers to as ‚‘Mindshift' an intense three-stage process that simply works. Its’ simple, short and extremely powerful.

What I learnt from the Mindshift Programme allows me to function with integrity, honesty and unselfishly. My life isn’t perfect, but I now have the tools to make corrections where needed.

I have no doubt Paul saved my life through the process of MindShift. In fact, I will go one step further in that he has allowed me to live my life in a way I never thought possible.

I knew that something was wrong, and I needed help.

Brendon’s Story

Real Estate Company Owner

Australia

I’d lived with anxiety and depression for years, and drinking had become my way of coping with both. I told myself I had it under control, but the truth was different. One Sunday evening, after a particularly stressful day, I’d drunk too much and completely unravelled in front of my wife and brother‑in‑law. I could see the concern in their eyes. I felt embarrassed, exposed, and I finally admitted to myself that something was seriously wrong.

That night, still half‑drunk and desperate, I searched online for help and found Paul’s MindShiftWorks. Even though we never met in person, I felt an immediate sense of trust. He spoke in a way that cut through the noise — direct, grounded, and real. No groups. No endless sessions. No surface‑level talk. Just a process that made sense.

As a business owner running a large, high‑pressure operation, the combination of anxiety, depression, and drinking was costing me far more than money. It was eroding my focus, my fitness, my decision‑making, and my presence at home. I could feel myself slipping — mentally, emotionally, and professionally. It was stopping me from being the leader, husband, and father I wanted to be.

Working through MindShift changed everything. Paul helped me understand the emotional drivers beneath my drinking — the pressure, the stress, the internal battles I’d been carrying alone. The process gave me practical tools I could use immediately, and a way to stay on track long after the intensive ended.

Today, I’m free from the anxiety and depression that used to run my life. I’ve stopped drinking, my business is performing better than ever, and I’m actually present — at work and at home. My clarity, focus, and confidence have returned.

If you’re a high‑performing professional struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, or drinking, Mindshift will give you more than you expect. It gave me my life back.

MINDSHIFT HAS BEEN LIFE CHANGING

Andrew — Business Owner-Australia-46

I was referred to Paul by another business owner who had gone through Mindshift and spoke highly of the results. At the time, I had been struggling for a couple of years with stress, anxiety, fear, low self‑esteem, and a constant lack of energy. I’d withdrawn from friends and family, and I felt like I’d lost my place in the world. As a business owner, I was still performing — but inside, I was running on fumes.

Like many executives, I used drinking as a way to cope with the pressure. It helped me switch off, until it didn’t. The stress kept building, the anxiety kept looping, and the drinking only made everything worse. I knew I needed help, but I didn’t want group sessions, long programs, or anything that felt like therapy‑speak. I needed something direct, practical, and effective.

MindShift was exactly that.

Before you start, there are two commitments you need to make. First, you must commit to yourself — to doing the work, showing up fully, and getting straight into it. Procrastination is something many of us are experts at, but this is one thing you don’t want to delay. Second, you need to be ready to invest in your wellbeing. Looking back, the financial investment was nothing compared to what I’ve gained. I would pay four times the amount to feel the way I do now.

What I learned through MindShift has been life‑changing.

I learned how to forgive — others and myself.
I learned that most of the things I was angry or stressed about weren’t actually real threats.
I learned how to step outside the constant loop of anxious thoughts and regain control of my mind.
I learned how to stop assigning blame and start taking ownership — playing above the line.
Most importantly, I learned how to check in with myself, regulate my reactions, and act from a grounded place.

The first part of MindShift helped me clear out the emotional weight I’d been carrying for years. The second part gave me the tools to navigate life with clarity, confidence, and stability. I still have tough days — everyone does — but now I know how to move through them instead of being consumed by them. I wake up wanting to engage with life again.

Every week since completing the program has improved. My relationships are stronger, my leadership is sharper, and I feel genuinely present in my business and personal life. The drinking, stress, and anxiety no longer run my world.

Paul is incredibly supportive, honest, and deeply committed to helping people transform. His work is grounded, real, and effective.

To put it simply: I feel like I’ve re‑engaged with life. I’m back in the game — and I’m loving it.

P.S. No one is too tough or too proud for this program. If you’re a business owner or executive struggling with stress, anxiety, or drinking, stop putting it off. Get into it and get it done. It is truly life‑changing.

Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Trauma, Addiction!

I had them all.

Doctor Peter-Radiologist-Australia

From a young age, I carried a deep sense of anxiety, anger, and fear that I never understood. As a teenager, I learned to numb those feelings with drugs and alcohol, and although it made life feel tolerable on the surface, nothing was ever resolved. I carried that emotional weight into adulthood.

Academically, I excelled. I became a doctor at 22, but behind the professional success was someone who had no idea how to deal with the emotional pressure building inside. I was constantly anxious, unable to relax, sleeping poorly, and increasingly dependent on substances to cope with the demands of life and medicine.

Like many in the medical profession, I was functioning — but not well. I was carrying decades of unresolved stress, trauma, and resentment while trying to maintain the standards and expectations placed on me. Over time, the emotional load became overwhelming, affecting my relationships, my wellbeing, and my ability to feel any sense of peace.

After years of trying traditional avenues — psychologists, psychiatrists, and various therapeutic approaches — I still felt stuck. In a moment of searching for something different, I found Paul Heffernan and the Mindshift program.

Mindshift was unlike anything I had encountered. Over five days, Paul guided me through a structured, direct process that didn’t dwell on the story, but instead focused on my internal patterns — my fears, my anger, my resentment, and the impact these had on the people around me. There was no blame, no analysis paralysis, just a clear pathway to understanding and releasing what I had been carrying for more than 40 years.

For the first time, I was able to let go of the emotional pressure that had shaped my entire life. The anxiety that had been with me since childhood finally eased. I felt a sense of relief I didn’t think was possible.

Mindshift gave me practical tools to maintain calm, regulate my emotions, and approach life with clarity rather than fear. It’s an ongoing process, but one that is entirely manageable with the tools Paul provides.

To any medical professional dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, or the emotional toll of constant responsibility — this work is worth your attention. We are trained to care for others, often at the expense of ourselves. Mindshift showed me that by looking inward and taking responsibility for my internal world, I could finally change how I experienced life.

Today, I am free from the anxiety, fear, resentment, and emotional burden that once defined me. Alcohol is no longer a problem and I feel grounded, clear, and genuinely present in my life again.

— Dr. Peter

The luckiest thing that ever happened

Marks story

Technology automation engineer
New Zealand

I came across Paul and Mindshift by chance, and it may be the luckiest thing that’s ever happened to me. I’m in my mid-30s and have spent the last 25 years suffering chronic depression, anxiety, and numerous addictions.

I’ve been in and out of therapy since I was 10, on and off prescription medication since I was 18, and an alcoholic for the last 2 years. I met Paul, and he encouraged me to take the leap and really get into this program.

I made a small start and got into the middle of it and froze up, I couldn’t face it, but Paul called me and had a good long chat which convinced me to crank through the rest as quickly as possible. I finished the program in 3 days, and it was like the clouds broke over my head; I felt like I was standing in the sun again.

I cannot stress enough the power of this course and of Paul’s recommendation to get it done as quickly as you can. I overcame years of negativity in the first 2 days, and the 3^rd gave me the tools I needed to keep those feelings at bay. Paul’s support during that time were invaluable; his wise words and down to earth delivery of the facts will stay with me throughout the rest of the journey this course has started in my mind. Thanks so much, Paul, you’ve changed my life!

MindShift saved my life

Warrick's story

Call centre leader
New Zealand

Four years ago, I was in a dark place, and I will share my story and experience with Mindshift. I had been depressed off and on my whole life, the same with my anxiety, but the last few months it had gotten the worst it had ever been, and I was making steps towards being committed to an institution because I was feeling extremely suicidal.

I was at the point I was ready to try anything; I said Id dance naked in the rain if I thought it would help. We both laughed, and Paul said, 'you may very well do that when we're done or words to that effect.

As I worked my way through the program, there were no surprises, I knew it was bullying at school that started me down the path to depression, and workplace bullying put me where I am today. What surprised me was when I got to the point in the program where I could unpack my negative emotions, I also had to confront myself and my role in where I was and take responsibility for my actions.

Was it easy? Hell no. It was hard because I had held onto that anger all my life; it was all I knew, anger, resentment and fear.

But Mindshift gave me a way to let it all go. It takes work, effort and you have to push yourself hard and be completely honest with yourself (and that is easy because everything you do is confidential to yourself). Still, ultimately it has been a life-changing experience.

So here I am, five days later after starting Mindshift, and I am feeling, well, different. Like a huge weight has been lifted off my soul. I feel clear-headed, I feel calm, I feel a sense of purpose returning to me. I have not felt this way for a long time, so long I had almost forgotten what it felt like; to be happy.

Is there more work to do? Sure is. But now I feel like I have a way forward, I have a structure, I have a process, I have the knowledge needed to make my life a better place to live. Thank you, Paul; from the bottom of my heart, you have literally been lifesaving.

Diane's story
Educational Executive
Australia

When I first reached out to Paul, I was overwhelmed, anxious, and using alcohol far more than I wanted to admit. Drinking had become my way of coping with pressure, avoiding difficult conversations, and numbing the stress that came with both work and life. I felt lost, disconnected, and increasingly frustrated with myself.

Looking back now, the contrast is remarkable. Today, when I feel pressure building or I’m tempted to avoid confrontation, I have a clear internal framework to lean on — and that’s entirely because of Mindshift.

Before Mindshift, I kept trying to manage my drinking on my own. I spoke with my doctor, researched strategies, and even confided in friends, but nothing created real change. I was stuck in the same cycle: stress → drinking → guilt → more stress. At some point, you have to stop blaming circumstances and take responsibility for the direction of your life. That’s the point I reached when I contacted Paul.

MindShift gave me structure, clarity, and a deep understanding of the emotional patterns driving my behaviour. It helped me see how my instincts, fears, and reactions were shaping my choices — including my drinking. The process changed me in a way that traditional approaches never had. I no longer struggle with anxiety, and the pull toward alcohol simply isn’t there anymore.

Since completing Mindshift, I’ve achieved things I never thought possible. I recently completed a Diploma — something I would never have had the confidence or emotional stability to do before. The inner strength I gained through this work has transformed both my personal and professional life.

If you’re a business professional quietly battling stress, anxiety, or drinking, don’t wait. We all need help at times, and Mindshift gave me more than I expected — clarity, confidence, and a completely new way of operating.

It changed my life for the better.

— Diane

_{I didn’t actually think I needed help.}

Louise-CFO-Australia

Before I found Mindshift, I was barely holding myself together. As a financial controller, I’m used to managing complexity, pressure, and responsibility — but behind the scenes, I was overwhelmed. Multiple layers of stress, constant anxiety, and the growing habit of drinking to cope had pushed me to the point where I felt completely out of control. I couldn’t think clearly, couldn’t regulate my emotions, and couldn’t get my life back into any kind of balance.

At the same time, my teenage daughter was struggling with severe anxiety and panic attacks. I was trying to support her while silently falling apart myself. I thought I was searching for help for her, but the truth was, I desperately needed help too.

I found MindShiftWorks by accident, and it turned out to be the best decision I’ve ever made. After speaking with Paul, I realised that if I wanted to help my daughter, I needed to get myself back on solid ground first. I’m incredibly grateful he encouraged me to go through the program — it changed everything.

MindShift gave me clarity, structure, and a way to understand the emotional patterns that were driving my stress and drinking. I now feel in control of my life again. I have practical tools I use every day, and when I feel myself slipping, I know exactly how to get back on top of things quickly and calmly.

Since completing MindShift, the constant stress, anxiety, and worry that once ruled my life are gone. When pressure shows up — and in my role, it always does — I now know how to handle it without spiralling or reaching for a drink. I have peace of mind, emotional stability, and a level of confidence I didn’t think was possible.

If you’re a professional who’s second‑guessing whether you need this, stop hesitating. Don’t waste time contemplating. MindShift will change your life, your work, and your relationships in ways you can’t imagine.

I’m forever grateful I made the decision.

— Louise

How I was before, MindShift

Guiseppe's story-Building Contractor

New Zealand

“I reached a point in my life where everything looked successful from the outside, but internally I was unravelling. I felt lost, disconnected, and constantly on edge. My stress responses were running my life — I was drinking too often, avoiding responsibilities, and withdrawing from the people who mattered. I couldn’t understand why I was reacting the way I was or why certain experiences from my past still had such a hold on me.

I knew something had to change, but I had no framework to make sense of what was happening beneath the surface. Through my partner, I was introduced to Paul, and within a week I began MindShift.

The process gave me something I’d never had before: a clear, structured way to understand what was happening inside me. It wasn’t easy at first. Old memories and buried emotions surfaced, and it was confronting to realise how much they had been influencing my behaviour and decisions. But as I worked through the MindShift process, the real drivers behind my stress, anger, and anxiety became unmistakably clear.

What surprised me most was discovering that the things I thought were the problem weren’t the issue at all. The real weight came from deeper patterns I had never recognised. Once I understood them, everything began to shift.

After MindShift, everything changed.

I now have the tools to process emotions quickly and clearly. When stress or anxiety shows up, I know exactly how to work through it instead of being overwhelmed by it. My relationships are stronger, I’m more present, and I’m able to support the people I care about without feeling drained or reactive. The anger that used to sit just under the surface is gone.

Today, I feel in control of my life. I’m healthier, more grounded, and genuinely enjoying the person I’ve become. I can engage socially without using it to cope, and I feel aligned with myself in a way I didn’t think was possible.

MindShift didn’t just change my life — it gave me access to the version of myself I always knew was there but could never reach.

'MINDSHIFT' has given me a new lease on life.

Kane-Security specialist-New Zealand

Hello Paul,

I want to thank you for taking me through the MINDSHIFT process. Before this, I had no real understanding of how much fear, anxiety, and anger I had been carrying. I was using alcohol far more than I realised just to cope with the pressure I felt inside. What started as “unwinding” had quietly become a pattern that affected my energy, my focus, and my ability to show up consistently at work and at home.

Looking back, I can see how much this was limiting my potential. The stress I was holding onto — and the way I was trying to manage it — was impacting my performance, my decision‑making, and the relationships that mattered most to me.

After completing MINDSHIFT, everything became clear. I could finally see the deeper fears and resentments that had been driving my behaviour, including why I was relying on drinking to take the edge off. Understanding the real source of those emotions changed everything. I now have the tools to keep myself grounded, safe, and in control, without needing anything external to cope.

MINDSHIFT has given me a new lease on life. I feel lighter, clearer, and more capable than I have in years.

Many thanks, Kane

I know it has worked for so many people.

More importantly,

It saved my life.

Dan-Advertising Executive-New Zealand

I have never met Paul in person, yet his work Mindshift and the MindShift process -played a major role in pulling me back from the edge of a life crisis I simply wasn’t equipped to handle.

When my relationship ended, it hit me far harder than I expected. The emotional shock brought back patterns I thought I had left behind. My anxiety spiked, my addictive behaviours resurfaced, and I felt myself slipping into a version of me I didn’t recognise. I was overwhelmed, reactive, and unable to make sense of what was happening inside me.

That’s when I was introduced to MindShift.

What struck me immediately was how practical and grounded the process was. There was no judgement, no over‑complication — just a clear, structured way to understand what was driving my reactions. In a very short period of time, MindShift helped me stabilise. It brought me back to a place of calm, acceptance, and emotional clarity.

But the impact didn’t stop there.

As I worked through the process, I began to see the deeper patterns behind my anxiety and addictive tendencies. I understood why certain situations triggered me, why I spiralled the way I did, and — most importantly — how to interrupt those patterns before they took over. MindShift didn’t just help me recover; it gave me a completely new way of approaching my life.

I felt empowered, grounded, and capable again. My thinking became clearer. My emotional responses made sense. I wasn’t fighting myself anymore.

Today, I genuinely feel better than I have in years. The tools I learned continue to support me every day — in my relationships, my work, and my overall wellbeing. It’s simple, effective, and transformative in a way that’s hard to explain until you experience it.

I wholeheartedly endorse MindShift to anyone dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma, or addiction. I’ve seen how many people it has helped, but for me, the truth is even more personal.

MindShift didn’t just improve my life — it saved it.

Dan

MindShift knocked my walls down.

Simone's Story

Mother

New Zealand

Thank you so much for MindShift online, I found it extremely rewarding and it allowed me to understand my weaknesses and strengths after living with anxiety for the last 14 years with all my wall's up.

MindShift allowed me to knock them all down. Believing in myself and being positive and happy have been Gold.

I know that I am on the right path for happiness. Life had tossed me curve ball's and hurdles, but MindShift has helped me to learn how to deal with them in a better calmer way, my anxiety has been lifted and I have a new energy and zest for life.

MindShift is totally different from anything I have done before and I suggest if you are struggling with anxiety or depression then just commit and launch yourself into it.

Again, thank you so very, very much.

Kind regards,

Simone

MindShift has helped me with my goals by showing me how to have a clear mind with positive thoughts.
Paul is amazing at what he does, and we couldn’t have anyone better. Outgoing, kind, funny and therapeutic.

Paul was fantastic. He worked hard and was easy to understand. Thank you for helping us; it means a lot.
