Case Study: “You’re cutting me deep, Shrek.” 

August 02, 20252 min read

Client: Ash, Primary School Teacher (Australia)
Offer: Unstuck Identity Workshop + Group ERT Session

“It was on my list… but I probably wouldn’t have done it.”

Ashleigh joined Unstuck Identity during a full season of life. Like many women, she’d intended to do some journalling and emotion work soon but it kept sitting on the backburner.

“I was just like… I’ll do it later. And then I just wouldn’t have,” she admitted.

But knowing there was a set journalling video and support ahead gave her the push to sit down and start. And from there, things shifted quickly.

“I even went back and reread the lessons.”

Ashleigh completed the journalling workshop on both her phone and laptop, moving through the content with ease.

“It worked really well on both my phone and computer. The whole layout was clear and easy. I didn’t feel confused at any point and I’m not always techy.”

The content itself felt just right, deep enough to spark awareness, but not overwhelming. Short, sharp, and surprisingly impactful.

“It wasn’t too much, but it gave me enough. I actually went back and reread the lessons because I wanted to soak it in again.”

As someone who prefers written content, she found the written-only format perfect. But she also appreciated the idea of a pre-recorded journalling walkthrough video, it was something supportive and easy to follow but that still gave her the helping hand she needed to sit down and get it done.

“The ERT sentences hit so differently.”

The group ERT session was the part Ashleigh didn’t expect to land so deeply but it did.

She’d done ERT before, but this one felt different.

“Those sentences… I didn’t like them! You were cutting me deep, Shrek.”

She laughed, but meant it: the ERT statements hit places other sessions hadn’t because they were generated from her own inner work during the journalling.

“It was a lot more powerful than the ones I’ve done before. The AI part was brilliant; it helped me see myself more clearly and made the clearing so much more honest.”

Ashleigh felt the impact of combining structured reflection with targeted ERT. She described it as a full-circle healing experience: clear, personalised, and surprisingly emotional.

What stood out to Ashleigh:

  • How easy and clean the onboarding process was — no tech overwhelm, even on her phone.

  • The depth of insight packed into short, simple lessons.

  • The motivation boost she got from having a group session date to show up to.

  • The accuracy and emotional impact of the ERT session — “so powerful.”

Ashleigh’s message to others:

“If you’ve been putting off reconnecting with yourself… don’t.
This isn’t surface-level work, but it’s gentle and powerful.
You’ll feel seen. You’ll feel supported. And you’ll probably uncover more than you expect.”
