You've been aprehended. Court date looming. Criminal charges have been placed. Uncertain jail time. Your future is on the line. The system has you now. And you're left wondering: what now?
Before lifelong incarceration becomes your reality, know this: one mistake, or a pattern of them, doesn't have to define your future or lock you into the system forever. Often, the behavior that landed you here isn't simply bad choices made in a vacuum. Trauma, substance abuse, unprocessed anger, family breakdown, survival mode reactions, or exposure to violence create automatic behaviors that you may not even understand yourself. Standard punishment approaches often fail because they don't address what's actually driving the behavior.
That's where real rehabilitation starts.

The Forge is a structured, evidence-based rehabilitation program. It's not punishment, but a clinical intervention.

The Forge is a structured, evidence-based rehabilitation program. It's not punishment, but a clinical intervention. Designed for individuals facing criminal charges or incarceration, the 12 to 36 week program combines Hypnotherapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), and Behavioral Coaching to address the underlying drivers of criminal and addictive behavior.
Led by Mark Wadie (NLP Practitioner, Hypnotherapist, and Coach Psychotherapist), The Forge helps you:
Courts recognize this work. It demonstrates genuine rehabilitation and commitment to change. It's evidence that you're serious about a different future.

Neuroscience shows us that traumatic experiences, unprocessed emotions, and ingrained neural patterns drive automatic responses that willpower and consequences alone won't shift. The Forge works directly with these subconscious patterns, creating measurable improvements in behavioral regulation, emotional management, and genuine insight

For the Court
Incarceration alone doesn't rehabilitate. The Forge provides a structured clinical alternative that demonstrates genuine rehabilitation and commitment to change. It's evidence-based intervention that reduces recidivism and addresses the actual drivers of criminal behavior.
For You
You deserve a real chance, not just punishment, but actual support to turn your life around. Before ongoing jail time becomes your reality, explore an alternative that gives you genuine tools, professional help, and a pathway to staying out of the system for good.
For Your Family
Your loved ones don't want to see you in prison. They want to see you change.

STEP 1: ASSESS
Comprehensive intake assessment to understand your triggers, patterns, and exactly what support you need. An evaluation report can be provided if needed for the court to provide program suitability and treatment reccomendations.
STEP 2: TRANSFORM
12-36 weeks of intensive online psychotherapy through three structured phases of rehabilitation:
Foundation: Laying the Groundwork - You'll work with Mark Wadie to understand what's really driving your behavior. Including the trauma, patterns, and automatic responses that got you here. We identify your specific triggers and break down the cycles you're caught in. Specialist sessions with our Senior Drug and Alcohol Counsellor and Mark (a certified "Stop it at the Start" practitioner) address substance abuse and family/violence patterns directly.
Momentum: Strengthening Your Commitment - Using NLP, hypnotherapy, and behavioral coaching, you'll practice new skills and learn to manage your triggers. Whether that's substance cravings, anger, family conflict, or survival mode reactions. You'll test your new responses in real situations, building evidence that you can do this differently. Sessions focus on harm minimization and behavioral shifts using evidence-based interventions.
Integration: Creating Lasting Change - You'll consolidate your progress, address any remaining challenges, and prepare for reintegration into the community. This phase builds lasting resilience and creates a concrete plan that keeps you accountable and out of the system.
STEP 3: RETURN
Your progress report becomes the evidence courts need for rehabilitation, as tangible proof of genuine change and commitment to a crime-free future. We provide ongoing momentum sessions and accountability support to keep you moving forward post-program.

Understand Yourself: Know what's really driving your behavior: the triggers, patterns, and beliefs that keep you stuck.
Manage Your Emotions: Learn to handle anger, stress, and pressure without exploding, hurting people, or reaching for drugs or alcohol.
Own Your Choices: Stop blaming others. Take responsibility and build the skills to make different decisions going forward.
Shift Your Mindset: Move from reactive and negative to proactive and resilient. Stop expecting the worst and start building something better.
Handle Stress Without Relapsing: Get real tools for high-pressure moments so you can stay clean and stay focused.
Break Bad Habits, Build Good Ones: Ditch the patterns that destroy your life and replace them with routines that actually work for you.
Find Your Purpose: Discover what you're actually about. Your values, your passions, your why—and build a life around that, not your past.
You'll address what triggered your use in the first place, learn to manage cravings and peer pressure, and build a relapse prevention plan that actually works for your life. Sessions are personalized based on your intake assessment. Whether you're dealing with alcohol, drugs, or both.
The goal isn't just getting clean. It's staying clean and understanding why you used so you don't end up back in the system.
You'll develop concrete strategies for the real situations you'll face in high-stress moments, social pressure, triggering environments.
Your violence isn't random. It comes from unmanaged anger, feeling disrespected, or needing to prove yourself. These automatic reactions are possibly what got you arrested.
The program helps you understand your triggers and why you react the way you do. Once you get that, you learn how to handle conflict without escalating, how to walk away without losing face, and how to build relationships where you're not constantly fighting for control.
You'll get practical tools for when anger hits, because we know it will. You'll take responsibility for your responses and develop healthy alternatives that keep you out of jail and out of destructive cycles.
You're not doing this alone. From day one, you'll work with Mark as your mentor and accountability partner. Someone who knows what you're dealing with and actually calls you out when you slip up.
At the start, you'll make a program agreement together. It's straightforward: here's what success looks like, here are the boundaries, here's what you're committing to. It sounds simple, but this agreement is everything. It's what keeps you on track when things get hard. You'll have regular check-ins where Mark reviews your progress, keeps you honest, and makes sure you're doing the work.
Ready to walk a different path? Our program uses advanced techniques to access and unlock the subconscious barriers created by addiction, trauma, and violence, allowing you to find lasting freedom and transformation. These barriers aren't just ideas you have. They are deeply embedded patterns that operate beneath conscious awareness, automatically triggering cravings, emotional reactions, or defensive behaviors before you've even had a chance to think. Through hypnotherapy, we work directly with your subconscious mind in a deeply relaxed state, where these patterns are most accessible and changeable. Rather than fighting against unwanted behaviors at the conscious level, we help reprogram the underlying responses including the triggers, associations, and learned reactions that drive them. This allows you to break free from cycles that logic and willpower alone haven't shifted, creating genuine neurological change that supports lasting recovery and resilience.
Building your own practical tools to reframe negative thoughts and beliefs, fostering healthier thought patterns to improve your life. Through NLP techniques, you'll learn to identify the language patterns and internal processes that keep you stuck. Whether that's automatic negative self-talk, limiting beliefs about your potential, or habitual thought loops that trigger unhelpful behaviors. We help you restructure these patterns at their source, giving you concrete strategies to interrupt old thinking habits and replace them with responses that serve you better. This isn't about positive thinking alone...it's about understanding how your mind works and gaining the flexibility to respond differently to life's challenges, building genuine resilience and lasting behavioral change.

The Client Progress Report provides a comprehensive assessment of the individual’s journey throughout the program. This detailed report highlights the key milestones, achievements, and behavioural changes that have occurred throughout the program.
This Client Progress Report is not only a reflection of the client’s personal growth but also a valuable document that can be utilized in legal proceedings. It serves as tangible evidence of the client's commitment to rehabilitation and positive change, demonstrating the efforts made to address underlying behavioural issues and the progress achieved through structured intervention. As such, it can be presented in court as part of a case for reduced sentencing, parole hearings, or to show compliance with court-mandated programs.
