Where to start

Four ways in.

Most people start with a free twenty-minute call. If you'd rather go more slowly, there are three other ways in, and none of them commits you to anything.

Beyond Burnout: twelve weeks, €1,500, everything included

Talk

A free intro call

Twenty minutes on video. You say what's going on, Ben asks a few questions and tells you honestly what he thinks would help, whether or not that's Beyond Burnout.

A trial session · €40

One full sixty-minute session, to feel how the work goes before you decide anything. It's a real session, not a sales call.

The intro call

What happens in the twenty minutes.

It's a conversation, not a pitch. You'll leave with a clearer name for what's going on, whether or not you work together.

  1. Your words firstWhat's going on, and what made you get in touch now. If you took the quiz, what rang true and what didn't.
  2. The pattern, named backWhat you've tried, what it gave you, and what keeps undoing it.
  3. The real questionWhat would need to be different in three months for this to have been worth it.
  4. Fit, honestlyWhether Beyond Burnout, a single module, IFS on its own or something else would suit you better. If what you need is clinical care, Ben will say so.
  5. A next step, if you want oneThe rhythm, the start date and the price. Then you decide in your own time.

Write to Ben

Put it into words.

A few sentences is plenty. Your message goes straight to Ben's inbox and nowhere else.

Or email bcdonaldson@protonmail.com directly. Please don't include detailed medical information.

Only the IFS work?

12 Weeks to Self-Mastery, on its own.

The IFS course at the centre of Beyond Burnout also runs on its own: twelve weekly sessions, a short daily practice and one written exercise a week, for €960. You can start with the first four weeks for €320; continuing costs €640, so trying first costs nothing extra.

In Ben's private practice the course is called the 12-Week Introduction to IFS, and single IFS sessions are €85. Mention it on the intro call, or find Ben's practice at bencareydonaldson.com, in English and French.

If you're in crisis

In crisis right now? Please contact your local emergency number (112 in the EU) or a crisis line in your country. Self & System isn't a crisis service, and this isn't the right first step while you're in acute distress.
