Here to help you understand yourself I think the best way to sum it up is that your coach is like a supporting role to your main character in a movie; they're not there to lead your healing journey, they simply offer a new perspective. Your path is yours alone to walk, but talking it out and reassessing your stance with a fresh set of eyes can often be the change you require to get unstuck.

Be 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.

The 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.

The 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.

Better than anything else I've tried. I've been to therapy and a psychologist 3 times before coming here. Coaching here has been the best experience so far by a long shot.
