One of the Most Important Decisions I’ve Made Participating in coaching at HG has been one of the most important decisions I’ve made. When I went in, I didn’t think it was going to be anything more than a somewhat helpful to talk and what it ended up being was an incredible place where I was challenged to do and be better for myself. Incredibly thankful to everyone in my group, my coach, and all the people involved in the HG community!

I did a coaching session with someone… I did a coaching session with someone last year and I would like to say that I did not find the experience helpful. I was having a conversation with the coach and was telling her how me and my friends always joke around with each other and about each other, often playfully making fun of each other. Sometimes I made mistakes but my friends always successfully made me feel better by joking about my mistake and showing love(that's how we show love to each other). She began to compare me with her acquaintance. Someone who she told me was used as a laughing stock by his friends. And although he "loved" his friends, he was still visibly hurt by the jokes. She continued blabbering about this guy and it really felt like she was talking about someone who I could not relate to, however, in her mind she was convinced that by sharing this story I would somehow gain wisdom and share the specific emotional pain she thought I was experiencing. It was a complete waste of time, however, I was very stressed about my work & relationship at the time and was feeling insecure so I was open-minded about her story and let her speak. In this case she was not the coach for me and it felt like she was trying to deeply psychoanalyse me and find something that is not there(common mistake, to be fair) Looking back(although I guess we can't trust memories) she lacked the experience to successfully to understand me, my feelings and my goals(which I don't blame her since I am not necessarily an open book). And she lacked the technical knowledge and experience of how to get there. I understand her intention and empathise with her. But still not good experience for me, personally. This was on my mind today, therefore, I have decided to write this post. I put effort into making it as accurate and honest as possible.

My Best Mental Health Journey Yet I have tried several different professional mental health settings, but I have just completed my 20th session of one-on-one coaching and plan on signing up for more. I am not mental health expert, but I do believe that what Dr. K has created here is more directly and specifically addressing the mental health crisis, especially among young men. I cannot speak for experiences with this service outside of that demographic, but my coach has challenged and inspired me in areas where other mental health settings have left me disappointed and jaded. I also consider the sessions to be relatively affordable, though prepare to pay out of pocket. I also cannot speak for the group coaching, but if you are on the fence about one-on-one coaching I recommend you try it out, their billing department has always been communicative and helpful.

Reaching out for help is one of the best decision I've ever made Uncovering childhood trauma can be incredibly excruciating. I am so grateful that I found this program that provides trustworthy coaches. My coach has been incredibly supportive and understanding throughout the process. He is patient and always knows how to ask the right questions to get me to think. I feel heard and understood during every session. Now that my session is almost over, I can confidently say that I have gained a lot of different perspectives. Thank you guys so much for making such valuable and important resources accessible.

At the end of my 20 weeks I can easily… At the end of my 20 weeks I can easily say this is the single greatest step I've taken for my personal growth and overall wellbeing in my life. I made immense progress in a very short period of time and will no doubt look back on my coaching experience decades from now as a critical catalyst towards my overall happiness and wellbeing!
