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.

GBOne 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!

GBdo not recommend. Could be a money scam. Overall, it did not help me. Coaches are 100% hit or miss and theres no screening process for clients to try their coaches. Why am I paying upwards of $50 a session to talk to an unqualified individual who is supposed to help me understand and resolve my issues? More details on the coaching experience I received: 2020: I received 8 free personal coaching lessons from a coach "in training". The coach did not particularly add anything useful in helping me explore my issues. However, they did validate my emotions. 2022: I received 8 weeks of free career coaching (per their pilot program). I think this coach was decent because he was actually trained and he seemed competent. The problem was that I couldn't do the things he wanted to me to do. 2023: I paid for 8 weeks of personal coaching with someone who should've been trained. He seemed smart. The problem is that he wasn't helpful at all. I felt that he didn't care to try to help me with my issues. Like, I had to lead the conversations and do all the work. It was not worth it. A complete miss on Healthy Gamer's side.

JPBe honest. The coach I had was a wonderful listener and helped filter out what to focus on more. She also does a great job in putting my feelings and thoughts into sentences. If you are planning to continue your coaching sessions, I recommend just being open and honest about your thoughts and feelings. The root of the problem will be discovered faster. Since my coach was able to understand what I am going through, the feedback really helps me.

KRReaching 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.
