Male client in his early 40’s

Before I started the Emotional Coaching Program I had always thought that emotions were a sign of extreme weakness and made sure I kept them at bay. They were unnecessary to living a successful life and I actually believed they got in the way of success and happiness. Emotions were like Kryptonite to Superman. I think I paid the ultimate price as my health deteriorated to the extent of getting Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. My body was sending me signals and messages for years but I never listened to them.

But now I believe and strongly believe that emotions are the most important aspect of being a human being. I believe that to understand one's self we must listen and feel what is going on, we must allow the emotions to come out and allow them to be there. Instead of trying to kill them off, we need to understand the signals and the messages they are trying to send us. I now believe that a human being is first an emotional being and the rest happens after that. The logical mind is imperative in the understanding of what our emotions mean to us, but I now truly believe that we must begin with our emotions. Quite a turn around, hey Dean? In the few weeks we have worked together Dean, I am living a more peaceful life, I am feeling and expressing love and am much clearer about whom I am and what is important to me. I have not had such clarity for over twenty years.

Before the Emotional Coaching Program I think I feared my emotions at times. The fear was around not understanding them & that I had no control at times with where they may take me. The impact on my life was that I was overly self protective & fearful and would shut down when the emotions felt out of hand. This usually led to periods of isolation. Since completing the program I feel I understand my emotions more clearly. I am more in the present with my emotions and experience less fears from the past & future. I am quicker at picking up the signs of difficult emotions (I am more aware ofphysical signs & symptoms). If emotions don't make sense in the present I can often recognize that they are emotional reactions from the past. The affect of this shift on my life is that I feel more comfortable with my emotions and can respond to them in a more useful way.

I am more able to feel my emotions in the present or acknowledge they are from the past. This means I can be more open, I can trust my emotions more & feel more able and confident in express them when I need to. This in turn means there is less need for me to be overly self protective & I am more open to opportunities in life, in particular intimacy and emotional connection. I now see the need for productive time & space for myself when needed rather than reaching the point where I isolate myself in a destructive way.

Thanks!!!
