GBReally solid service Really solid service. I have changed as a person because of the HG resources and coach that I started working with. I didn't have specific goals in mind, but coaching helped me in many areas of my life, while also having someone to talk to about my experiences, difficulties, and learnings over the 20 weeks. If you can't afford coaching, I would still absolutely recommend Dr K's Guide to Mental Health to anyone and everyone. It has the kind of information and wisdom that I wish was taught in schools. How are we supposed to play Life skilfully if we were never taught how to play? My only qualm is that unless you really have something that you want to achieve going in, the 20 weeks can go by quickly without having specific goals set that you are moving towards. My words of advice would be to go through the 'Doing stuff' materials of Dr K's Guide immediately so you know how to make goals that you care about, and really push for your coach to keep you to them.

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.

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.

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. Thanks HG

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.
