CHALLENGE : CLAUSTROPHOBIA
"Tunnels - I feel anxiety and I feel like my chest is caving in. Aeroplanes - I feel there is no escape. It was limiting me by not letting me do the things I enjoy, like travelling, driving through tunnels, going to hotels. The therapy was very helpful, easy to understand. I felt like I was dealing with someone I knew for a while. At the end of the session I felt confident. Still not sure how I will react being so used to my former state, but in a way looking forward to trying it out." ¬ Stuart Koutroumbas, Sales Manager [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : HURT & CONFIDENCE
"Very professional! Goran was very committed to understand my problem and find a solution. Within just 10 mins I felt I could trust him and it was easy for me to open up. His methods were unique and effective! Within half an hour I felt relieved of my problem, that I could actually deal with it and it wasn't consuming me anymore. Its obvious that he genuinely cares for his clients and follows up on them to see how they are doing. I've recommended him to others and I will certainly be using more of his services in the future." ¬ M. Lopez, Nurse [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : CLAUSTROPHOBIA
"I felt frightened at the sight of any elevator or lift with feelings of claustrophobia for almost 50 years! The fear was so strong that I thought I was going to die. The therapy process however was so brief and so easy. No pain whatsoever. I spent two years going to a psychologist with no results. They could not help me like Begovski Research did. Immediately after the session I was able to use a lift with zero fear. Since then, I have done things I avoided completely which includes visiting hospitals, crossing long bridges and now soon I am planning to take my first airplane trip." ¬ A. Silva [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : PUBLIC SPEAKING & CONFIDENCE
"I would just like to thank you for our session a couple of weeks ago, I do feel more confident than I did before. I had a job interview last Thursday and I felt more confident and relaxed, I will find out in about a week or so how I went in the interview.
I would like to attend one of your seminars. I will have a look at your website to see when the next one is, thanks again". ¬ Michael B, Bodyguard/Bouncer [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : FEAR OF HEIGHTS & DRIVING UPHILL
"Driving uphill areas and heights made me feel pretty bad. I couldn't go through with it. The therapy session was easy. Not complicated. I believe I achieved around 90% improvement. Would definitely recommend him to my friends!"¬ P.Chandra, Entrepreneur [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : SOCIAL PHOBIA UPHILL
"I am writing a note to let you know of the benefits I received from our session together recently. Although I have had a very sad event occur lately my confidence in speaking at AA meetings has improved very noticeably and I will continue to use your technique to build on and grow this confidence as it makes a huge difference to my well-being in all areas of my life.
I am grateful for this solution to my public speaking phobia and recommend it for anyone with a similar problem. " ¬ M. Flannigan, [Armidale]
CHALLENGE : (KATSARIDAPHOBIA) FEAR OF COCKROACHES
"I had a fear of cockroaches. It was affecting my life at home, with friends and with family. It would cause embarassment when at work or out with friends and was getting increasingly worse. The therapy process was very interesting. It almost seemed too easy to have worked at all. I was not able to even look at a picture before and at the end of the session I was looking at two pictures and even touched one of the pictures. I feel like the emotions I have had are not as intense and I have more control of my fear. I am going to try and take steps to test my fear and conquer it completely with new situations now."
UPDATED two weeks later:
Hi Goran,
Guess what!! I had a cockroach in my unit yesterday morning, and I was ok! I didn’t start hyperventilating, or freak out, I just did what you told me and I sprayed it. I even got a book out and whacked it (which I have never been able to do ever!)
I made a deal with myself that when I got home, I had to remove it on my own. I managed to sweep it out of my unit, onto the steps and onto the driveway ll by myself! I cannot believe I didn’t freak out once! It is truly amazing.
I don’t think I’ll ever like them, but I had a completely rational reaction to it! Thank you so much! – I can’t believe those simple steps have desensitised me to a point where I’m able to control my fear. I am also very happy for you to add any of this to my testimonial.
Have a great day,
Danielle

CHALLENGE : (THANATOPHOBIA) FEAR OF DYING
"I kept on thinking about how I am going to die. I have lost a lot of confidence. It was affecting me in my work and personal life. Session went really well. It's surprised me how many triggers or events are making me feel anxious. I feel really confident and in control again!"
¬ S. Adams, Optus Consultant, [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : (GLOSSOPHOBIA) FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
"I have a fear of public speaking in professional and social situations. I freeze, go blank and get a rash. I avoid situations all the time. I found the therapy session very thorough and informative. I have been given some good tools to use for the future. I feel positive and hopeful. I plan on applying myself and putting myself forward for more challenges."
¬ P. Smith, Legal Secretary, [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : (THANATOPHOBIA) FEAR OF DYING & DEPRESSION
"I felt very nervous and I would always think the worst. I always had negative thoughts including that I would get cancer and die. This has been going on for 8 months and has been progressively getting worse. I was seeing a psychiatrist for many months and all he could do was prescribe me two types of drugs which didn't help me. I just got worse and felt drowsy.
I was very impressed with Goran. In one session he made me feel so strong and so positive. He gave me tools so I can ensure that I stay positive. His treatment was not complicated. Very easy to follow. I am so grateful to Goran! Thanks heaps!" ¬ F.Perreira, [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : (ARACHNOPHOBIA) FEAR OF SPIDERS
"Very controlling. I feel stressed and anxious most days thinking about it. I cannot work properly at times and have had to call in someone from another area to come and get rid of a spider. Its always on my mind when I am outside or touching things. I used to go jogging at night but I had to run on the road because I cannot go under trees. Very dangerous to run on the road! If I experience seeing a big spider I break out into a sweat, can sometimes start to hyperventilate and can get stomach cramps and neck and back tension. The therapy process was very interesting, I haven't used my brain in these ways before. It was confusing me at time but I learnt how to get out and keep control of myself. I feel as though I want to go and find spiders and test out what I've learnt today. I'm feeling confident and eager to conquer this phobia. Update: I've since been able to put my face up close to spiders in my garden!
¬ T.Isles, Disability Carer [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : EXTREME ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
"I felt beforehand that I was not in control and had a lot of fear of what would happen to me. I now feel I have the right tools and experience to overcome this. I found the therapy process very motivating and interesting as well as educating. I feel more in tune with myself and believe its been a great benefit." ¬ H.Tsioras, Car Care Consultant [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : (PHAGOPHOBIA) FEAR OR CHOKING
"My phobia was really bad. I couldn't eat any solids. After the session I realised I can start eating a little bit and if I keep practising, one day I will be fine. I thought it would be impossible but now I know it is possible. I found the process was very easy and it woke me up! I discovered as well that I was reinforced with good feelings through my bad behaviour even though it was bad for me. Now I feel better and I am confident that I can eat solid food. I'm planning to start eating from now on and each day, a bit more, gradually increasing til I reach my goal."
¬ L.Longa, Secretary [Peru] Session was Interpreter Assisted
CHALLENGE : (HYDROPHOBIA) FEAR OF WATER/DROWNING
"I was af raid of the water and feeling unable to control its effect on me. I felt that I couldn't ever learn to swim because of this. I felt this limited me mostly as I felt restricted in being able to have fun in the water but also restricted within myself. The therapy was interesting and gave me a different perspective. It energised me to move forward. I have a lesson booked for swimming and I am looking forward to conquering the fear using what I learnt."UPDATE: "Hi Goran,
Thank you for helping me achieve what I did on Friday. I was amazed at what was happening in the pool. I was committed to learning, but I never ever imagined that the fear would be gone the way it was. I was always hoping to push past it and still learn to swim.
There is nothing that anybody could ever give me that would make me feel the way I did. After you left we continued for an hour or so and I was so happy doing what I was doing that I barely noticed how far away Bruce (Swim Instructor) was from me or that when I was floating all I had was the noodle and no contact with Bruce at all.
At the start I did a fair few things as I waited that I would never have done alone and I did that initially to test what we had done but still without expecting much.
When Bruce got in the water he asked me what we had done on Thursday and what I expected of him and what I wanted to achieve before I went home. I achieved all those things and by the end of the day was simply working on technique.
I did have a false start and as Bruce tried to pull me along to get my legs up in the water I faltered and was afraid of the feeling and he changed the position and we took off from there.
I didn't tell you on Thursday that one of my issues was that I have never trusted the kick board but that changed as well. I would never had jumped up and down in the pool as I was doing either. It was just a mind blowing experience for me."
¬ S.Minos, Office Manager [Sydney]
CHALLENGE : (EMETOPHOBIA) FEAR OF VOMIT
"My challenge : Fear of people other than myself vomiting. I avoid places or situations where this may happen which is extremely disruptive to my life. I've had this phobia for over 20 years and I have been seeing a psychologist for 10 visits. In the end he basically said to me "I am sorry, I can't help you."
When I flew in for my session with Goran Begovski my hands were still trembling from the flight. However, the therapy process was helpful and I was eager to try out the advice on the way home. After the session, I was feeling confident, willing to try out what I learnt on the plane ride. Still somewhat anxious but only because that's the way I used to feel."UPDATE:
"Flew back home to Melbourne and had no fear and anxiety the entire trip. I'm now flying out to Japan! Success!"
¬ L.Bailey, Veterinary Nurse [Melbourne]
CHALLENGE : (AGORAPHOBIA) INTENSE SOCIAL ANXIETY
"Hi, my name is Raylene Slade and for the past 28 years I’ve had Agoraphobia. It started when I was 18 and since then it has debilitated my life in so many ways. I’ve been unable to complete my education, I’ve been unable to be employed in full time work. If it meant having to travel further then two or three blocks. The biggest thing that it’s done is just made it really hard for my children. We can’t do anything as a family. I can’t take my son to football games, I can’t take him to swimming pools. We can’t even go and buy extra groceries because I can’t travel anywhere. Living a long distance from the shops makes it really hard. Over the years I’ve sought a lot of support or help and have found very little. Psychiatrists just wanted to delve into my past. I had a very sad and miserable childhood and Psychiatrists just wanted to bring back those old emotions back to the surface to investigate why did I feel this way, why was I so sad. Psychologists knew very little about it and all Doctors wanted to do was put me on antidepressants. So I am hoping this is a new episode in my life. (Following the Session) After this session that I’ve had with Goran, it’s opened a whole new avenue for me something that I didn’t know what to expect, what he was going to do, whether it was going to be magic, hocus pocus or what it was going to be but I was at a stage where I was prepared to do anything. What he showed me is that I don’t have a mental issue, I have a behaviour problem, a behaviour that needs to be changed and Goran has showed me how I can change it, it’s just been amazing. As I said earlier I don’t travel anywhere and today we hopped in the car, we went for a drive up the road, about 10 kilometres. For some of you that might not sound a lot but for me it’s huge and he’s provided me with tools that I can use each day here-I am responsible for my behaviour and I can change it. I don’t need to go to the doctors to get tablets, I don’t need to go to a Psychiatrist to get analysed, I just need to use the tools that he’s given me to change the behaviours that I’ve been using, just like I have a dog and I teach it the same. I will now just continue to expand to live a life that is now "hope" rather than "no hope". You have made my day!"
¬ Raylene Slade, Aged Care Nurse [Narranderra NSW]
CHALLENGE : (GLOSSOPHOBIA) FEAR OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
"My phobia is public speaking, speeches, social or non social. I start to feel anxiety at the first thought of having to do a speech. I feel my beating heart, sweaty palms and feel like running away if I have to. The therapy was excellent, I learnt a lot about emotions and how to change emotions. Found out that I need to practice my states. It felt a little different in the beginning. After the session, I feel a lot better, more confident... I plan to practice my strategies every day... to go down the right path to freedom."
¬ Anthony Wise, Landscaper [Sydney NSW]
CHALLENGE : (AEROPHOBIA) FEAR OF FLYING & SOCIAL ANXIETY
"I feared both the take off and landing of planes. Also, I was worried what people might be thinking whenever I eat in public places. I would feel extremely uncomfortable to the point where I felt I was choking on the food I was eating. I couldn't swallow my food. I saw a therapist for six sessions but it didn't help. I found the therapy process with Begovski Research very enjoyable and it opened up my mind. I can feel the change already happening in my body."
¬ Duran Tipene, Storeman [New Zealand]
CHALLENGE : ANXIETY
"Driving through the harbour tunnel and on freeways was terrifying. It gave me panic attacks. After 3 years of not driving it was humiliating and debilitating. The therapy process was incredibly easy. We didn't seem like we did much work however it was very effective. I can now visit my friend down south. I can go anywhere I want because I can!"(UPDATE) "I just wanted to let you know that today I drove through one of my places that I usually find terrifying. I was by myself and I had no problem! Anxiety level on the way there was about a half out of 10. And no anxiety at all on the way home. Im feeling pretty proud of myself!"
¬ Mickie Magan, QA & RC Manager [Sydney NSW]
