My journey began in Toronto, deepened in Chicago with Rational Emotive Therapy and the work of Dr. Albert Ellis, expanded in Boston with the teachings of Louise Hay, and evolved further in Miami as I worked directly with individuals struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. Each stage contributed to the development of what I now call Transformation Counseling, a philosophy and practice rooted in the idea that healing begins with a person’s self-image, not external forces or chemical dependencies. The Evolution of Transformation - Transformation was not born overnight. It grew from my personal and professional experiences, shaped by exposure to different schools of thought and the struggles of countless clients. Initially, my hypothesis was that low self-esteem was the underlying cause of mental health challenges. At the time, it seemed reasonable: individuals burdened by anxiety, depression, or addiction often expressed deep feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness. However, as my research and counseling experience deepened, I revised my understanding. The real issue was not simply self-esteem, but something more fundamental—self-image. Here, I drew inspiration from Dr. Maxwell Maltz, whose groundbreaking work demonstrated that self-image serves as the internal blueprint of identity. Unlike self-esteem, which is how one feels about oneself, self-image determines who one believes they are by way of their thought and beliefs about their value and worth as a human being. If that image is negative, distorted, or destructive, no amount of surface-level esteem building can create lasting transformation. From Self-Esteem to Self-Image: A Distinction That Changes Everything - This distinction is critical. While self-esteem refers to how much a person “likes” themselves, self-image speaks to the very core of identity—the beliefs and perceptions a person carries about who they are, their value and worth as a human being. Self-image is the silent, persistent story that dictates behavior, relationships, and life outcomes. In countless cases, I found that individuals who struggled with addiction or mental health challenges were not suffering merely from a lack of self-esteem; they were suffering because they had internalized a negative self-image. They believed themselves to be unworthy, powerless, broken, unlovable, not good enough. These distorted self-conceptions fueled destructive choices, created a cycle of negative reinforcement and a life of self-sabotage. Thus, my current hypothesis emerged: Negative self-image is the true cause of addictive behavior and mental health problems. As a result of this negative self-image, self-love is absent from the person’s life. The solution is for a person to learn how to authentically love himself, to experience self-love.
