Simple, proven, transformative...

Since 2006, Choose Again has helped thousands of people break free from stress, anxiety, addictive behaviour, and toxic relationship dynamics.

Based on founder Diederik Wolsak's self-guided Six Steps to Freedom, our program addresses the root cause of persistent negative emotional patterns, giving you the power to transform your own mental state, and reclaim a life of sustainable health, joy and wellbeing.
​"The Six Steps to Freedom is a simple forgiveness process that I use to find freedom from any upset or conflict I have in my life.

​I have introduced this process to many people, and they have found it an effective way to work with their own thoughts; transforming their daily state of mind from one of conflict to one of peace.

If you practice this process just a few times each day, you are bound to change your life in ways you cannot even imagine yet."

- Diederik Wolsak RPC MPCP, Choose Again Founder and Program Director

Core Belief Correction Therapy... getting to the root of the issue.
​

If you are experiencing anything less than peace in your life then know that you have the power to change your experience. Right now you may not be able to change your external circumstances. But how you experience this moment - whether it feels peaceful or filled with a sense of conflict - is totally up to you.

​The quality of your present experience is not determined by your external situation. What matters is not the situation in and of itself, but how you judge and interpret the situation. Every situation can be seen differently. Every situation can be experienced in a state of inner peace. You have a choice. 

At a very young age you began to see life in a certain way. As a child you made up a self-image, an idea of yourself. Ever since that time every judgment and interpretation you have has been informed by this self-made idea. Your interpretation of every moment is profoundly influenced by the beliefs you made up about yourself in the past. If you are not happy now it's because you are somehow re-living your past.

If you don't like how you feel and want to change your experience now, then you must recognize that the real cause of how you feel is not outside of you, but inside of you. The real cause of your experience is not the external circumstance but the self-image you made up when you were very young.

The good news is that you can release yourself from this old and painful self image. You can recognize that you are much more than what you have believed yourself to be.

Once you release the past, a natural experience of happiness and peace will follow effortlessly.  

​You are worth it.
