If You’re Working Harder Than Your Client, You’re Doing It Wrong
Welcome to The NPA Academy
Here’s the uncomfortable truth about why your sessions leave you feeling drained, and the simple solution to stop it.
You’re a Brilliant Facilitator.
So Why Do You Feel Like You’ve Run a Marathon?
You care. Deeply. That’s why you do this work.
But let’s have some real talk.
You finish a session, and instead of feeling energised, you need a long shower to wash the day off. You feel the weight of your client's breakthrough (or lack thereof) sitting on your shoulders. You find yourself working harder than they are—digging for the root cause, managing their resistance, and trying to "get them there."
You’ve "done it all" - the modalities, the certifications, the shadow work. You’re an expert. Yet, there’s still this secret sense of friction.
Here is the uncomfortable truth: That exhaustion isn't a badge of honour. It’s a symptom.
It’s a symptom that you are unknowingly fighting a battle you can’t win: trying to control an outcome that isn’t yours to control. We call this "The Velcro Effect" - where every bit of the client's "stuff" sticks to you because you're trying to fix it.
It’s heavy. It’s draining. And frankly, it’s unnecessary.
The Solution: Stop "Fixing" and Start Flowing
The industry taught you to push. We teach you to get out of the way.
Most coaching and healing training is secretly fuelled by a "Saviour Complex." It tells you that if you push harder, learn more scripts, and take more responsibility, your clients will heal.
That is a lie. And it is the fastest route to Saviour Complex Fatigue.
At The NPA Academy, we stand for a radically different reality: The Agenda-less Way™.
We believe that true transformation doesn't happen when you force a result. It happens when you stop acting as the source of the healing and start acting as the space for it.
When you drop the agenda to "fix" your client, you stop triggering their resistance. The friction disappears. The heaviness vanishes.
This is the simple solution: We give you the tools to facilitate Identity Level Change without the struggle. You stop being the mechanic trying to fix a broken engine, and become the Catalyst - the essential element that sparks transformation without being drained by the process.
The result? You finish a day of sessions with more energy than when you started.
Our Stand (The NPA Code)
We don’t do "guru worship" and we don’t do "spiritual bypassing."
Most training piles more weight on you - more rules, more scripts, more pressure. We exist to take the weight off.
We operate by a code that distinguishes us from the heaviness of the industry. This is what you can expect from us, and what we will ask of you:
⓵
Radically Human
We reject the "Enlightenment Olympics." We value the messy, beautiful human experience as equal to the spiritual. We don't transcend our humanity; we inhabit it fully.
②
Friction-Free Flow
We design for ease. If it feels like "efforting," we stop. We value animation over obligation, ensuring every interaction gives energy back rather than taking it.
⓷
Radical Confession
We choose the uncomfortable truth over the comfortable lie. We own our flaws publicly because hiding them creates friction. Transparency is our default state.
⓸
Radical Self-Ownership
We refuse to see anyone as a victim, including ourselves. We believe empathy without empowerment is just shared suffering. We listen for the innate authority that already lives within you, even when you can't hear it yourself.
⓹
Self-Included Kindness
We never sacrifice ourselves on the altar of service. We believe that true kindness must include the giver, or it eventually becomes resentment.
⑥
Playful Irreverence
We take the work seriously, but never ourselves. We use humour to pop the bubble of spiritual dogma (the "cult" in culture). If we aren't laughing, we aren't learning.
⓻
Uncompromising Mastery
We don't do "shelf-help." We create deep, transformational experiences that stand the test of time. Unlock your genius. Claim your place in the top 1-4%.
Meet Joel Young: 21st Century Heretic (and your guide)
"I’ve given up trying to be somebody else, it’s too hard."
I’m Joel Young, the Creator & Custodian of Non-Personal Awareness (NPA).
For most of my life...well, I say most of my life, a little over 30 years...I’ve been working in the fields of healing and consciousness. Along the way, people have called me a "Visionary Leader" and "The best therapist in the northern hemisphere" (thanks, Brandon Bays).
But honestly? I’m just a guy who got tired of the suffering.
In 2007, after years of doing things the hard way, I received a download - a simple, 6-line process that stopped me taking things personally. It busted my illusions, challenged everything I’d learned in 20 years of practice, and ultimately set me free.
I don’t sit on a mountain top. I sit in the mess of life with you, armed with unshakeable certainty and a healthy dose of British irreverence.
My mission is simple: To up-level our beautiful industry from mechanical to magical.
I train coaches and practitioners to join the top 1–4% of their field. Not by adding more complexity, but by stripping away the dogma and agenda that stops your natural genius from shining.
Unlock Your Facilitation Genius
The NPA Academy isn't just another training school. It is the home of Identity Level Change.
