Before working with Mikah, I felt deeply conflicted in my relationship. I knew what I wanted—more connection, affirmation, and emotional safety—but I was afraid to ask for it. Guilt, doubt, and overthinking kept me frozen. I could see the patterns clearly, yet I wasn’t changing them.

What shifted was learning how to move from awareness into action. Mikah helped me stop negotiating with my fears and start listening to my body. Instead of endlessly analyzing whether I was “allowed” to want something, I learned how to practice asking for what I needed—clearly, calmly, and without self-abandonment.

This work went far beyond conversations. It showed up in my home, my habits, and my ability to let go of what was keeping me stuck. I learned how resistance doesn’t mean stop—it means something important is trying to emerge.

I feel more grounded, more honest with myself, and more capable of taking responsibility for my side of the relationship without shrinking. For the first time, I trust myself to take action—even when it’s uncomfortable—and to find clarity through doing, not just thinking.

“Before The Integration Lab, I was struggling to trust myself,I felt stuck and like a victim of my circumstances - after my breakup

I’d been in therapy for over two years. While it helped me understand my patterns, it felt passive. I was talking about problems, but I wasn’t getting practical ways to change them.

The cohort shifted that completely. Every week came with hands-on exercises and real-world practice. The first tools felt like unlocking a new skill in a video game — suddenly everything opened up. I learned how to tell what was a real yes or no in my body and how to act from that place.

If I’m being honest, this program probably saved me about a year and a half of therapy work. It wasn’t about fixing a relationship — it was about learning how to show up for myself.”

Before working with The Integration Lab, I understood the theory of healing and self-awareness—but I wasn’t fully living it. I could analyze situations endlessly, especially in my relationship, yet I still felt stuck in cycles of overthinking, judgment, and emotional exhaustion.

What changed everything was learning how to listen to my body instead of just my mind. Through Mikah’s work, I learned to trust my YES and NO, regulate myself in difficult moments, and shift from feeling like I was running away from something to realizing I was actually running toward a life that felt warmer, safer, and more aligned.

This work didn’t just give me insight—it gave me self-trust. I feel more grounded, more accountable, and more capable of caring for myself without losing compassion for others. The biggest surprise was how much lighter life feels when you stop outsourcing your safety and start embodying it.

This wasn’t a quick fix—it was a lasting shift.

Before The Integration Lab, I had lived most of my relationships from an avoidant place. I didn’t fully trust closeness, avoided emotional discomfort, and eventually broke the trust of someone I cared about deeply. That realization was painful—but it also became a turning point. I didn’t want to keep being someone who hurt the people I loved.

What changed wasn’t learning more about attachment—it was learning how to relate to myself differently. Instead of avoiding my emotions or intellectualizing them, I learned how to sit with them, listen to my body, and take responsibility without spiraling into shame. For the first time, accountability felt grounding rather than crushing.

Through this work, I learned how my avoidance showed up in everyday decisions, pacing, and disconnection—and how to interrupt it in real time. I began making choices based on clear internal yeses and noes instead of fear, distance, or distraction. Slowly, the patterns that once ran my relationships stopped running me.

The most meaningful shift was forgiving myself for who I had been—without excusing it—and realizing I didn’t need to stay stuck in that identity. I feel more present, more emotionally available, and more capable of building a relationship rooted in trust and consistency.

I’m no longer governed by avoidance. I’m moving forward as someone who knows how to stay, repair, and show up securely—for myself and for whoever I choose to love next.

“When I started The Integration Lab, I realized how reactive and anxious I had been. Over time, that changed. I’m not as reactive anymore — I can set boundaries calmly and remove myself from conflict instead of escalating it.

The biggest shift was internal. I started taking care of myself and, because of that, I feel less anxious and more secure. I even started liking myself a little more.

Some of the work was deep and uncomfortable — especially facing grief and family wounds I had avoided my whole life. I didn’t just learn new tools — I healed parts of myself I had avoided my entire life. I still feel things, but now my body feels like a safer place to be.”

I came into this work thinking it was about fixing a relationship — and instead, everything cracked open. What followed was grief, clarity, and a deep reckoning with parts of myself I had been carrying for years. One parts-work session in particular felt like an ego death. Within 24 hours, I released emotions I didn’t even know were stored in my body.

I’ve always been hyper-independent, but I didn’t want to lose the part of me that longs for connection. Through this process, I learned how to feel deeply without collapsing, and how to stop letting triggers run my life. I began living from emotional authority — where my yes and no are clear, and my inner world is integrated instead of fragmented.

I’m no longer in the pit of it. I’m floating. I’m not rushing into another relationship — I’m rebuilding my life, honoring my pace, and creating from a place that actually feels aligned. This work didn’t just change how I relate to others. It changed how I show up for myself.
