GBGroup Coaching Experience My experience with Group Coaching was great! Access to the program through the Healthy Gamer site and discord was simple & clear. The nature of the programs and what one can expect in them was made clear also. The programs are reasonably priced. The weekly meeting schedule (with access to your particular Discord group chat) was particularly helpful. (AKA one's ability to interact with the group and/or coach is nearly unlimited and encouraged) Seriously, if you are considering group coaching put any of your thoughts and feelings in the group chat at any time. Your inner experience is absolutely relevant to the group, no matter how mundane. Coach's feedback and guidance was appropriate & helpful. A number of group members changed groups/dropped out etc., and the changes were handled with minimal disruption. Coach kept tabs on individual concerns and progress, and the experience felt approachable & casual (often fun). Coach was attentive and clearly invested in our (the group) well-being. Recommended.

GBPut in the work, get results I completed 20 sessions of 1-on-1 coaching, after trying group coaching out for about 4 sessions. I really enjoyed my experience with my coach! Coaching isn't the fix to all of your problems but can really help you navigate challenges. I stuck with the same coach for my entire duration, & I preferred this experience much more in comparison to my years of traditional psychotherapy where I'd be circling around the same problems and never really reaching any of my goals. I highly recommend, but would like to note that your coach is mostly there to encourage you to put the work in yourself that way you can navigate your issues on your own. You have to be willing to work on yourself and separate from your ego.

GBHG Coaching Was Wonderful I really enjoyed HG Coaching: Having a partnership with someone who was there to help me grow as a person was very useful, it helped a lot to see things from an outside perspective but that is probably an individualistic thing and the mileage may vary in general. In general, just having an authentic and compassionate person by your side is so helpful to people who haven't gotten that so much in the past, the mere act of even having one relationship like that in your life can do wonders for your mental health and life in general. It provides evidence that the same thing can be found in the real world. It provides hope to people who didn't get that opportunity in the past. People who used to be like me. (: I would say though, that as coaching is more akin to a partnership, the level of value you derive from it tends to increase exponentially depending on how much effort you put in, so if you give it a go don't expect it to be a walk in the park. Once again thank you the HG team for this experience.

GBThe Power of Questions! The 20 week coaching program with Healthy Gamer really helped me better understand my own internal state and thought patterns. Even though the coaches are not medical professionals, the simple act of asking thoughtful questions every week encouraged me to think more about my emotions and become more aware of when certain emotions arise. I can confidently say that I have a better understanding of myself after the 20 weeks and I feel more empowered in how to keep going forward and keep learning more about myself.

NLThe most help I've received so far I've been to therapy in a few different clinics. HG Coaching was by far the best experience I've had in terms of mental health support. I got better at recognizing and process my emotions in a healthier way. It helped me break some thought and behavioral patterns (e.g. causational, judgemental, black & white thinking) and better align my actions with my goals. I got better at checking in with myself and making a conscious decision about what it's important for me. I learned about praise and forgiveness. I learned about how to listen to others. I got better at celebrating the small victories (and encouraging others to do the same) and not let setbacks deter me from pursuing my goals. Overall, there isn't an aspect of my life that hasn't improved due to coaching. It's not for everyone and it's important that you find a coach that's a good match for you. If something doesn't feel right, speak up early and they'll be happy to help you out.
