WELCOME TO HOPE!
My name is Phillip. I suffered from a mental health condition called Avoidant Personality for over 40 years. Avoidant Personality includes all the symptoms below and many more.
If your journey has led you here, then you know what it’s like to suffer in silence, just like I did.
For many years, I suffered from an unknown issue. I constantly felt criticized and rejected by my boss, my co-workers, and even my family. I felt isolated and all alone in a world of people that I thought was better than me.
I had more days than I could count when I could not even get out of bed, much less make it to work. All I wanted to do was climb under a rock and disappear. I felt all alone and had no idea why.
Something had taken over my life. Nothing worked to ease the pain I felt inside. I tried God, Church, Alcohol, Drugs, Video Games, and Porn. One day I decided to join the Air Force so I could at least be a part of something.
I went to see a physiatrist there because I was deathly afraid of the opposite sex, and I was hoping for some help. The doctor diagnosed me with a Mental Health Condition. This was hard to hear, but at least now I knew what was going on in my life.
I had an enemy, and its name was Avoidant Personality!
One day, God blessed me with the love of my life. My enemy though had other plans. I was constantly plagued by overwhelming feelings of rejection. Even the slightest criticism from anyone -- my boss, a co-worker, or my wife, felt like a knife being plunged directly into my heart.
My anxiety was unbearable, my depression was unending. My Avoidant Personality made it impossible for me to maintain my marriage.
After 20 years, my wife had enough and asked for a divorce. This sent me into a deep dark depression. I felt like I had no way out but to end my life.
My wife and daughter had me admitted to the mental ward at my local VA hospital. With help, I was able to heal my mind, remarry the love of my life, and become the father that my daughter needed and deserved.
Because of the wisdom and strength I gained through my relationship with God, I am now living the purposeful, happy, and fulfilling life that I once thought was impossible. The same freedom is waiting for you.
Make the choice today to be free of your Avoidant Personality!

In any school, there are prerequisites that you have to take before you move on to the advanced classes.
An example would be English. You start with a basic class like Grammer. Then you work your way up to Literature and Writing. We use the same Structure. Before you can Conquer Avoidant Personality, you need to Discover it. Once you Discover it, you can then move on to Understanding it. It's only using this step process that you will have the necessary tools, learning, and skills, to Conquer Avoidant Personality.
We will start out with Discovering Avoiding Personality class. We will be adding 1 lesson every other week. If at all possible, we will try to add these sooner, but please expect them every other week. This gives us good ample time to develop the best quality lessons that we can.
Once we complete the Discovering class, we will move on to Understanding and then to Conquering.
Avoidant Personality is a very complex mental health condition. We want to provide the very best quality material and tools for you, so we do not want to rush them. It takes 2 weeks to develop and record these lessons.
While you are waiting for the new lessons to be uploaded, there will still be things for you to do. Each lesson will have homework. This homework will include some simple things like going outside for walks and finding new people to talk to. Other homework will be more involved, like reading chapters from various books, practicing meditation, and working on your diet.
Only having 1 lesson to work through every 2 weeks also gives you plenty of time to go through the lesson step by step, glean from it everything you need to, and work through parts of the lessons that might require more time and be more difficult for some.
We will also send out newsletters that include other tips you can use in your journey. You can also tune into our podcast and ask any questions that you wish.
We want to hear about your journey, your successes and your challenges.

I suggest starting with our short quiz. Click Here to be taken to that section. If you score high on the quiz, I strongly suggest enrolling in our classes.
In the class on Discovering Avoidant Personality, you will have the opportunity to take a longer and more thorough assessment.
Yes! When we first started out, we were only going to help people that had Avoidant Personality. But we started getting emails from people that did not have the condition. They were in a relationship with someone that had, or they suspected had Avoidant Personality. They were suffering just as much as the one with Avoidant Personality. We decided to start work on classes that would specifically help “Loved Ones”.
Phillip is a lead Pastor, a former Youth Pastor, an Author, a regular speaker at Boise State University (BSU), a podcast host, a successful husband and dad, and has Conquered Avoidant Personality.
Each class is composed of approximately 12 lessons. Since we are uploading 1 lesson every 2 weeks, you can expect each class to last about 24 weeks. If at all possible, we will try to shorten this so we can complete the classes sooner, but we don't want to rush these, so please plan on the 24 weeks.
You will have access to all the lessons and classes for as long as you are subscribed. Feel free to go back to previous lessons and retake them and any others.

Phillip is a licensed Pastor and a former Youth Pastor, so yes, faith does play a role in the classes. However, in order to conquer a complicated mental health condition like Avoidant Personality, any teaching must be more well-rounded. Our holistic approach includes the entire makeup of your being. Mind, Body, and Spirit.
Phillip does not just use the Bible. He teaches using Science, The Bible, Diet, Meditation, Literature from various sources, Therapies, Clinical Practices, life skills, and his own life experiences and research on Avoidant Personality.
Clinicians, like therapists, can be an excellent resource if you find one that really understands Avoidant Personality and is well versed in treatments like Attachment Theory.
In the Discover and Understanding classes, we are teaching you what Avoidant Personality is and helping you understand its various symptoms. It's not until the Conquer class that we begin to teach you how to overcome Avoidant Personality.
Typically, it's not a good idea to be getting mental health treatment from two different sources. We teach things in our classes that might be completely different than what your therapist is using.
We don't want to circumvent what they are trying to do. This could cause conflicts and issues. If you are currently seeing a therapist, they are helping you, and you are comfortable with the help they are providing, we suggest sticking with them.
You could take the 1st two classes and stop before you get to the class on conquering Avp. This is entirely up to you. You might consider discussing this with your therapist.
If the clinician that you are seeing is unable to help you, and you are making no progress, please take our classes.
