Reviews on PDS?

I’ve had it for a couple of months and do courses on and off, my approach is organized chaos lol but I could definitely be better. From the courses I have done, I’ve noticed amazing results. Curious to hear the results from others!

Worth its weight in gold IMO

I agree 100%

It is fantastic - I channeled my crazy/thought activity into the courses. I didn’t do the workbooks for the first month, just video after video, many of them several times. Some worksheets are good to have as printed reference material.

So, if you are going bananas over a breakup or discard, divert yourself into this. Even topics that don’t seem relevant to you, its all good knowledge.

You will have that moment when it all comes together for you. That clarity that you currently crave so badly will appear seemingly out of nowhere.

That feeling likely won’t last, but you will get a taste of what it is like to think straight about your situation and motivate you to dive back in, each cycle taking less time to get to your good place, and longer you stay there. That’s the “work” that is being referred to.

You will see the long road ahead curving out of sight, but when you look behind you, the path you were on also winds out of sight. And that’s when you will say “I got this”…

I really like PDS. I started off with her healing from a broken heart (or whatever the exact name was) course and did a number of courses from there. I'm always skeptical of these kinds of things since there's a lot of rather unqualified "life coaches" and what-not out there, but it honestly changed me a lot for the better. I've learned a ton. I'm thinking of resigning up again to attend some of the webinars.

I started the same way. I had just went through a breakup and was in desperate need of healing and from then on I kept it going. It’s funny because I had seen PDS ads on YouTube and I always thought they were so gimmicky until I actually watched one of her videos. As someone who’s been into personal development for about 10 years I think her stuff takes the cake. I’ve never attended the webinars but I think once I complete all of the courses I want to then I’ll probably start

Living off the free trials because I'm broke lol but loving it! Anyone looking for an accountability buddy, hit me up :)

It's great. Be patient though, doing the courses and retaining are not the same thing. I still have a ways to go. Just because I "Finish" any particular course doesn't make me healed.

I also have been doing it in probably the wrong order lol. It's not exactly the most exciting work to do, but it definitely feels more important than just watching tv at this point in my life.

Yes I agree, I take all of my courses very slow. I’ve had it for 3 months and have fully completed 4. I also have been doing it very scattered lol and I agree! It takes work but once I do it I’m so glad that I did

The ultimate study platform for your written and clinical medical exams - Adult Medicine & Paediatrics

I've downloaded some of the course books, but what was been most helpful for me are the live events and getting a chance to talk to people in real time. I've had the most progress that way.

100% worth it. I also paid for the IAT course which bought it all together for me

Would you mind sharing your experience with IAT in more detail? I'm considering taking the course as well but am not 100% sure yet due to its price.

What’s IAT?

Never got around to completing any of the courses, although I did subscribe for a bit. But the two courses that I started gave me an excellent impression, and seemed incredibly thorough. I watched a metric ton of the YouTube videos and, just by being attentive and applying many of the exercises and suggestions in those, I changed significantly. I'd still consider returning to complete some of the courses at some point. I just had too much on, and ended up doing attachment work of a different sort that is also incredible. But I think Thais is someone who really, really, knows her stuff. She stands out from the YouTube attachment crowd by quite a distance, imo.

I love PDS! It has helped me so much, and I just love Thais! She is so compassionate and knows her stuff. 💖 I wish I could afford the school, but I'm unable right now, but as soon as I can afford it again, I will go back to the school. Her YouTube channel is still very insightful and helpful. 🌺

Things I really loved about the school is that it feels like a college course. I love the workbooks, and I love the webinars as well.

I highly recommend PDS if you are looking to heal your attachment wounds.

She's good for basic education on attachment theory and how to see relationships through that lens, but ultimately very repetitive and not good at providing deliverables. I suspect this is because she doesn't have any actual training as a therapist, but the "work on self" that she suggests is quite abstract and too intellectual, when most of these issues are actually emotional/spiritual. It can give you some understanding of your patterns, but it won't be able to change how you feel, and ultimately it's your feelings that drive your actions. Finally, attachment theory is not the sledgehammer that people like her make it look like. It's just a classification system with some theory, but your relationship problems will only get solved through emotional work, not theory.

After reading and watching tons of content on AT, I am now convinced that what most people actually need is a much more basic education on how the mind works and how to control it, on meditation, awareness and mindfulness. And I found one resource that is absolutely life changing and free. Before you give money to sketchy people like Thais, I highly highly recommend watching videos by — and I'm absolutely not joking — HealthyGamerGG. They also have a subreddit r/HealthyGamerGG. Don't be put off by the fact that it's advertised to the gamer audience, the information is absolutely universal. It can take a few videos to get into, but it's by far the best science-based (yet not clinical at all) psychological education you can get anywhere on the internet.

Two days writing code, one week fixing proxies, 3am debugging in production. Or use an API that actually works. One request in, clean HTML/JSON out.

was is PDS?

Personal Development School. It's content by Thais Gibson on attachment styles and more

Did anyone paid for lifetime membership? Is it worth it?

It used to be good, now it's too crowded and impossible to get questions answered. Not worth it anymore.

I just started with my first course. Though I see the content has potential, I am disappointed for how sloppy in the form the material is.
