To All the Truth-Tellers out there - this one's for you.
Let’s be honest for a second: how many of us got into the healing arts because we wanted to make a real difference… only to end up feeling frustrated when the tools we were taught just don’t seem to move the needle?
This week’s video hits right at the heart of that.
I had the priviledge and exquisite discomfort of sitting down with Texas to unpack something a lot of therapists, coaches, and healers feel—but rarely say out loud: the burnout and jadedness that comes from listening to never-ending client stories and feeling like true transformation is always just out of reach. If you’ve ever left a session thinking, “Did we even get anywhere today?”—this one is for you.
We talk candidly about the limits of mainstream therapy training and how I, like so many practitioners was secretly wondering if there’s a better way.
Spoiler alert: there is.
Advanced Consciousness Therapy is designed to flip the script—from passive listening and band-aid, brain-based solutions to active, lasting transformation. It's a new paradigm that combines energy work and deep psychology to get at the real roots of pain and help your clients move forward—without draining the life out of you in the process.
While this conversation was a little edgy and extremely personal, I think it's exactly the kind of real talk we need right now, especially as therapists and clients alike grapple with the state of the world and humanity at large.
And even if you’re not a practitioner yourself, I think you'll get a lot of out watching this because let’s be real, we are all navigating stories (our own and others’) every single day.
P.S. We’d love to hear your thoughts after watching—what resonated? What’s your experience been with mainstream healing tools? Hit reply and let’s open up the dialogue.

Melissa Watson
Advanced Consciousness Therapist
Q: Tell us about yourself as a person and as a healing professional.
A: As a person, I have always been guided to something more – I’ve always known there more to life, and I was always trying to grasp for this. I just love working with people and seeing them for who they really are. Watching them transform is literally my life’s work – such a true privilege. All the schooling and training and certificates have truly led me to this point in my life. Accepting that I was neurodivergent was such a gift for me, because allowing that gift to come through of how my brain worked differently than everyone else was a turning point in my life where I received a different viewpoint on it. Up until that point everyone told me there was something wrong with me, especially under the scientific model of labelling anything that’s different. I am such a deep feeler, which makes me revel in the contrast of the range of human experiences.
Q: Tell us about your Service Signature?
A: For me, it’s about just holding somebody where they’re at and that being okay. I am able to blend the intuitive knowing and the science stuff, because that’s how I work. There’s a solid foundation in reality, but also a wide-open door to the extraordinary.
Q: What are some of the topics that you might be able to help people with?
A: The big shifts in my life have been around parenting, blended family life, and aligned relationships. I have also worked with a lot of people who are neurodivergent, so ADD or Autism support. I am passionate with helping people who have extreme trauma in their history and have really struggled, including supporting those who are questioning if they even want to be here anymore.
Q: What drew you to this work?
A: As a client, I needed a change, and was willing to try anything. I could feel the energy stuck in my body, I just didn’t know what it was and I didn’t know how to release it, and that was my life for so many years.
As a practitioner, I saw how this literally changed my life because all the things I had been trying so hard to change my whole life through so many modalities, none of it really worked for the lasting change I was looking for. What brought me here was realizing I didn’t want to pursue a psychology degree further because I saw that there was a more aligned way of doing this work. That what was being offered in traditional programs
Q: What is the hardest thing about specializing in Advanced Consciousness Therapy?
A: The personal accountability is impossible to ignore. When I’m having sessions with people and things are coming up, I must acknowledge what is in the room is also part of my own healing journey. It was only hard at first as I unravelled more and more layers of my own transformation. The other hard part is not screaming from the mountain-tops that EVERYBODY CAN DO THIS because we also acknowledge people’s sovereign agency and there is an appropriate time for each client to come to this work when they are ready.
Q: What do you love most about your work?
A: It’s with such deep emotion that I share my gratitude for having the privilege of watching people shift out of their limitations, to watch them use the tools and clear their energy and no longer be in suffering. It makes me so excited not just for our clients, but for the world. For somebody who has tried it all and now gets to live a radically different life that I could never have imagined being so good. It’s incredible and humbling to witness the impact that helping people shift has on their life, their family, their job, their world.
Q: What is the one thing about this approach that most people don’t know?
A: How simple it is. It’s just so very simple, and how quickly things can shift if we let them shift.
Q: What would you say to someone who is unsure about trying Advanced Consciousnesses Therapy?
A: My approach to trying new things is always “what’s it going to hurt to try?” and the other piece is asking yourself how much do you want to change your life? Do you really want to be the best version of yourself? That feeling will magnetize you towards what is meant for you.
