THE
OPEN FORGE
The Open Forge is a personal change program led by Mark Wadie for people who are ready to break free from behaviours, habits, or patterns that no longer serve them. Whether it's anger, substance use, self-sabotage, or simply feeling stuck, the program is designed for anyone who genuinely wants to make a change.
Using hypnotherapy, behavioural coaching, and other proven techniques, Mark helps participants uncover and address the root causes of their challenges, rather than just managing the symptoms. Through a structured and supportive process, participants build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and practical tools for lasting change.
—— The Problem. ——
You’re fed up.
GOOD.
You’re carrying something you can’t seem to put down. Maybe it’s anger. Anxiety. Patterns that keep repeating no matter how hard you try to break them. Maybe it’s old wounds. A story you’ve been telling yourself for years. Or a version of yourself you’re desperate to leave behind.
You’ve talked about it. Maybe for years.
Tired of feeling stuck.
Tired of going around in circles.
Tired of putting everyone else first.
Tired of not knowing what’s really at the cause.
And honestly, tired of talking about it.
ENOUGH TALK.
LET’S ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
“I’m fed up. I know I have issues. I’ve tried everything. But nothing has stuck.
And I’m not done yet.”
—— What’s Actually In The Way. ——
IT’S NOT WILLPOWER.
IT’S NOT EFFORT.
IT’S NOT THAT YOU’RE BROKEN.
The reason it hasn’t shifted is that the root of it lives below the surface. In the subconscious patterns, decisions and stories you formed long before you had the tools to question them.
THE REAL BLOCKERS
Childhood decisions you’ve never examined.
Old stories that were once protecting you from something that no longer exists.
Trauma, addiction repeated loops in behaviour.
Talking about it over and over without ever resolving it.
Symptoms drinking, drugs, anxiety, rage, numbness - masking the real cause.
Phobias, self-talk, self-image, self-loathing.
The shadow - the unknown. The thing that keeps tripping you up.
THESE AREN’T CHARACTER FLAWS.
They’re subconscious patterns. And subconscious patterns need subconscious solutions.
— Three Phases of Transformation. —
A face-to-face program in Canberra that goes where talk therapy can’t. One kick-off session followed by 5 more sessions of focused, subconscious work. Using Hypnotherapy, NLP and Behavioural Coaching, we work directly with your subconscious to find what’s at the cause - and resolve it.
PHASE 1: UNCOVER
We go below the noise to find what's actually driving the behaviour, the pain, the patterns. Real clarity on what matters, what you value, and what needs to change.
PHASE 2: RESOLVE
Using Hypnotherapy, NLP and Behavioural Coaching, we get into the subconscious patterns that have been running the show. Blocks, confusion, sabotage, fear, excuses. Gone. Not managed. Resolved.
PHASE 3: RECLAIM
You come alive. Feelings, emotions, spark. No more numbing out, covering up, or going through the motions. You step into your fire, your purpose, your life. On your terms.
—— What You Get. ——
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
YOU SHOW UP.
CLARITY
Get clear on what truly matters to you. No more confusion, second-guessing, or feeling stuck. You know where you're headed and why.
VALUES
Discover what you genuinely value and believe in. Stop living by other people's expectations and start honouring what is important to you.
LIVE IT
You live that. Your choices, your life, your way. No apologies.
RESOLVE
Using hypnosis, NLP and coaching, we uncover and clear the subconscious blocks that keep you stuck - fear, self-sabotage, limiting beliefs, confusion, and old patterns.
ALIVE
You come alive! Gratitude. Abundance. Fire in your belly. You become visible.
Areas we work on:
Anxiety and chronic stress
Anger and explosive behaviour
Fear, phobias, and self-sabotage
Destructive habits and addiction
Relationship patterns and conflict
Identity and self-worth
Past hurt, trauma, and childhood decisions
Purpose, meaning, and direction
—— Who This Is For. ——
FED UP. TRIED EVERYTHING.
NOT DONE YET.
The Open Forge is for people who are struggling and fed up with putting everyone else first while quietly running on empty. People who are sick of the mind demons that come to visit in the night.
THE FIGHTER
Looks like they have it all together on the outside but is fighting demons on the inside. Fed up, lonely, not happy.
THE LOOPER
Stuck in a loop they can see clearly but can’t stop. Ready to wake up and actually do something.
THE LOST ONE
Hit a crossroads. Asking ‘what now?’ Feeling invisible, no purpose, not sure who they even are anymore.
THE ACHIEVER
Carrying low self-worth or deep self-doubt that no amount of success seems to fix.
No referral needed. No court involvement. No formal diagnosis required.
Just a genuine willingness to look honestly at what needs to change and the commitment to actually do something about it.
—— Program Goals. ——
What this program builds in you.
Every engagement is personalised. There's no standard curriculum - what you work on is determined by what you actually need, not a predetermined list of topics. That said, the following are available in every Open Forge engagement.
One-on-one sessions with Mark Wadie
Direct, personal sessions with a qualified NLP Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, and Coach Psychotherapist. Conducted in-person in Canberra.
Personalised Focus
Your sessions are shaped by your specific triggers, patterns, and goals. What you work on is yours, not a standard module designed for someone else's situation.
Anger and Conflict Work
Understanding where your anger comes from, what triggers it, and - crucially - how to respond to it before it costs you. Practical tools for high-pressure moments, not just theory.
Substance and Relapse Support
If substances are part of the picture, sessions address the underlying triggers driving use, strategies for managing cravings, and building a relapse prevention approach that actually fits your life.
Accountability and Mentoring
Ongoing, honest accountability between sessions. Mark will call you out when you slip, track what's actually changing, and keep the work grounded in reality, not just what happens in the room.
Real-World Tools
Every session produces something concrete to take away and apply. The goal isn't insight for its own sake - it's a genuinely different response when the moment arrives.
——— The Method. ———
Three tools.
One practitioner.
Zero excuses.
HYPNOTHERAPY
Goes past the conscious mind and talks directly to the subconscious. Reprograms the beliefs, patterns and emotional responses that drive automatic behaviour. Remove subconscious blocks and rewire destructive patterns. Fast. Deep. Lasting.
NLP
Rewires the way you think, talk to yourself, and respond to the world. Identifies the language patterns and internal processes keeping you stuck. Reframe negative thoughts and build healthier cognition. Shifts at a neurological level.
BEHAVIOURAL COACHING
Where the rubber meets the road. Action, repetition, accountability. Mark acts as your accountability mentor. Being someone in your corner who won’t give up on you. Actionable steps toward lasting positive change.
This is not counselling. This is not talking in circles.
This is targeted work on the subconscious level that creates real, measurable change.
