Friend, you’re asking me a really difficult question, to be honest. I would gladly tell you all about my DRR experience, but it would take pages and pages, and even then, I wonder if I’d truly be able to answer your question fully.
DRR has pushed me to go really deep within myself to face some of my lifelong fears, anxieties, shame, and self-worth issues—among many others. The result has been major improvements in self-worth, self-acceptance, emotional resilience, and assertiveness. I’ve mostly eliminated my people-pleasing tendencies and “nice guy” traits. I’ve also largely abandoned the fake persona, the mask I wore for most of my life, and now I’m embracing authenticity—even when it’s uncomfortable. There’s so much more I could say about all of this.
The work was mostly internal, so it might not paint a grand picture that everyone can see. But I can feel it, and others can sense it too. It’s not that I’ve become a completely different person—no. I haven’t turned into some perpetually smiling guy with unshakable confidence who makes people flock to him in awe. But I have become a guy who is learning to wield his own authentic power. And trust me, that is something HUGE. And words cannot describe it.
At this point, I feel there’s still a lot of work to do. Dragon work. DRR was a raw, visceral experience. And now, I think it’s time for a powerful yet more refined approach. Enter DRG.
If you are contemplating using DRR, I encourage you to do it, and commit yourself to do it fully. It can be really tough at times, and lots of back and forth movement. But it is worth it.
Also, it is better to avoid to compare with experiences of other folks. For your way is but your own.
