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!

HG 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.

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.

Hypocrites and Frauds Hypocrites and frauds. They claim to care about helping people but are happy to let millions suffer when they could easily help, even when they would have been compensated. I was a long time subscriber and a customer and they treated me incredibly rudely with immense disrespect.

Group 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
