Through PISTA, I learned that true control starts within ourselves—our thoughts, emotions, and reactions. Before PISTA, my lack of self-control led to losing everything I valued: my family, career, and sense of self. It was only with PISTA's help that I gained the tools to navigate this turmoil and recognise the power of words. By letting go of my need for control and embracing PISTA's approach, I found clarity and direction. Even though I realised my mistakes too late, I am grateful for taking the first steps towards redemption and reconciliation. Despite past pain and regrets, I now have a clearer path forward.

Secondary school felt like a war zone where popularity and looks defined everything. It wasn't about achievements; it was about fitting a certain image. My physical imperfections were highlighted and mocked, leaving me feeling ashamed, out of place, and invisible in a social hierarchy I didn't understand. I struggled with anxiety, loneliness, and bullying. My PISTA coach helped me work through my anxieties and self-doubt. Through the PISTA exercises, I learned to face my feelings, rebuild my self-esteem, and respect myself. Although it was challenging, I realised my self-worth wasn't defined by others' opinions. PISTA helped me gain confidence, assertiveness, and a deeper sense of self-acceptance.
