Get to know us

Break The Barrier is a behavioural wellbeing initiative that applies engineering systems thinking to emotional stability and digital-age resilience. Our work is built on the same principles used in high-performance industries — why-why root cause analysis, Kaizen continuous improvement, and 5S clarity systems — adapted for young people’s behavioural patterns.

Instead of treating symptoms like procrastination, distraction, or emotional overwhelm at the surface level, we examine the underlying mechanism:

Trigger → Thought → Emotion → Body Sensation → Escape Behaviour.

By understanding this loop, students learn to intervene early — before stress escalates or performance collapses.

Young people in Australia and across the world are growing up in an environment shaped by constant notifications, comparison, fragmented attention, and digital overstimulation. These pressures create behavioural instability, not because young people lack discipline, but because their systems aren’t designed to handle the load.

Australia’s growing focus on digital wellbeing reflects this shift — but Break The Barrier recognised the root problem long before it became a national conversation.

Since 2023, we have delivered early-intervention awareness programs within Unilodge Australia’s student communities, helping young people understand their behavioural triggers, regulate emotional overload, and strengthen their internal systems in the same way engineering teams strengthen critical infrastructure:
through structure, simplicity and repeatable processes.

Note:

Our mission

To equip young people with practical emotional-stability systems — built on engineering principles — so they can identify early warning signs, prevent escalation, and stay grounded under pressure.

Our vision

A future where every student has access to simple, structured behavioural systems that replace unhealthy coping with clarity, stability and continuous improvement — turning early-intervention into the standard, not the exception.

Our Founder

Tushar Ingle

founder / Break the Barrier

Tushar Ingle is an emerging leader in behavioural wellbeing innovation, recognised for applying engineering systems, root-cause analysis, and meditation-based self-regulation to support young people’s emotional stability.

A recipient of the Rajarshi Shahu Maharaj Foreign Scholarship from the Government of Maharashtra, he holds a Master of Engineering (Electrical with Business) from the University of Melbourne. His unique approach blends:

  • engineering diagnostic models (why-why analysis, failure mode thinking)

  • human-factor systems design

  • 11 years of meditative observation practice

  • real-world behavioural insights from student communities across Australia and around the globe.


Tushar’s work focuses on a simple idea:


If we can engineer stable electrical systems, we can engineer stable emotional systems.
By teaching students to recognise internal “fault signals” and intervene early, he helps them stabilise behaviour before stress becomes a crisis.

Since 2023, he has implemented the Early-Intervention BTB Framework across student communities, creating structured tools that reduce overwhelm, build behavioural stability, and make wellbeing practical and repeatable — not abstract or clinical.

He is committed to a future where early-intervention behavioural engineering becomes a global standard for young people.

How our System Works

Break The Barrier designs behavioural engineering systems that help people recognise emotional triggers, interrupt automatic escape patterns, and build long-term stability. While our core focus is supporting young people, the root-cause mechanisms we teach are universal — making our systems effective for anyone aged 16 to 55.

Our approach translates proven engineering principles into practical behavioural tools:

  • Root-Cause Behaviour Mapping (Why-Why Analysis)
    Identifying the real source of procrastination, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown.

  • Kaizen Continuous Improvement
    Small, repeatable behavioural upgrades that compound into long-term stability.

  • 5S Clarity Systems
    Structuring digital, emotional and environmental habits to reduce friction and increase focus.

  • The BTB Early-Intervention Framework
    A simple, step-by-step process that teaches individuals to notice internal “fault signals” and intervene before stress escalates.

  • Workshops and Community Programs
    Delivered across student communities in Australia and available to individuals and professionals seeking stability in a high-pressure, digital world.

This is not therapy.

It is a practical, engineering-inspired system that strengthens behaviour the same way engineering strengthens critical infrastructure — through clarity, structure, and early intervention.

Age & Consent:
Break The Barrier supports individuals aged 16–55. Participants under 18 require parent or guardian consent as per Australian guidelines.

Although our work began with young people, the behavioural systems we teach are universal — effective for anyone aged 16–55 because the underlying mechanism of behaviour does not change with age, only the environment does.
