Personal coaching changed my life for the better. After 32 weeks of personal coaching my understanding of my emotional state is on another level. My relationships have greatly improved and I feel so much happier and content with my life. I would absolutely recommend it.

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.

Exactly 52 weeks ago, I started my first sessions of both 1-on-1 Personal Coaching and Group Coaching. DISCLAIMER: Who your coach and group is will probably impact your experience. Do some window-shopping if you feel like they aren't the right fit. With that said, here are my experiences with both group and personal coaching. (TLDR: Both fill different needs. If you feel lonely and like you're the only one experiencing your problems, do group coaching. If you want to get something closer to typical therapy, but with more of a proactive approach, do personal coaching. I would personally recommend trying both for a week or two.) 1-on-1 Personal Coaching: Personal coaching was one of the best things I ever did for myself. I was incredibly lonely, depressed, and burnt out. Signing up for coaching was an act of desperation for me, but through it I've learned how to genuinely become happy. Here's what I gained from personal coaching. - Figured out my personal hierarchy of needs - Truly learned that my suffering is not invalid because other people have it worse - Became more aware of my thoughts and emotions - Developed values such as gratitude, curiosity, and connection - Learned how to meet myself where I'm at - Learned organizational skills (for ADHD) - Improved my mindset when it comes to burnout - Learned how to process emotions on my own - Learned empathy for myself - Learned how to catch when I'm angry - Developed empathy with others - Figured out how to set the right goals - Learned how to love making music again - Discovered purpose The only thing I would change about my coaching sessions is maybe having a little more direction. But I think that if that were the case, we wouldn't have discovered some of the underlying thoughts and feelings, so it's kind of a trade-off there. My coach was incredibly compassionate and was honestly so fantastic. Group Coaching: Group coaching is a pretty different feel from Personal Coaching. I think it draws a lot of inspiration from AA. If you feel like you need to talk every week about your problems, then group is not for you. Group feels like a friend group that you can always talk to about what's really going on in your life. Here's what I gained from group: 1) Learned how to comfort others and be more compassionate 2) A feeling of community and camaraderie 3) Learned not to try and solve other people's problems (very important for men) 4) Developed genuine friendships 5) Learned the value of journaling and also how to journal (my coach was big on having us journal each week) 6) Had something social to look forward to going to each week 7) Learned from other's experiences how I could improve my own life 8) Cried a few times in front of my group mates Overall, I think group was fantastic. The one criticism I have of group is that at the end of each session, we would compliment each other. It was really nice receiving those compliments, but it was incredibly stressful to give them. I think that was particular to my group though and is not universal. Conclusion: Coaching is genuinely one of the best things you can do for yourself, and you will get benefits out of both personal and group. Stick with them both as long as you can afford them. Your experience will change depending on your coach, but in my experience of the two coaches I had, both were exceptional. They just have very different styles. If you're nervous about the 1 star reviews, just go for it regardless. You'll truly never know until you try. Also you can pick your coach. I can recommend Forest heavily.

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

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.

I've done 1on1 and group therapy and both helped me a lot by getting insight in what I'm feeling, how I react to what I'm feeling and a lot more.

I had a very wonderful coaching experience, being coached for many months through my issues. The coach was attentive, had a good memory, was very empathetic, allowed me to discuss what was on my mind, and was excellent at guiding the conversation. The coach is a mirror for you, YOU have to show up and do the work to process. The coach will provide you assignments and tools needed to help alleviate your issues but you have to show up and do the work. They will definitely cheer you on and it feels like you have a very good friend dedicated to your well-being. I would recommend it but you have to know yourself well enough, are you ready to put in effort or do you need more help (like medicine)? If the latter, perhaps you should see a professional in your area first. For me, I'm in a MUCH better place thanks to my coaching experience and very grateful for it!

It isn't like counseling that ask me endlessly "what do you about ...". Coaching is a unique relationship that is very different from friends and families. I recommend a try.
