Yep....it's the THING for me. Hasn't always been, but it is now. I spent a lot of time in Jungian therapy, and that was a very "depth" kind of thing, which was the right tool for that job....back then!

I am NOT a fan of the traditional "analytical" therapies. They feel stark and depressing to me, at this point in my life. Because I suffer from depression, I need something action-oriented. If I bog down....I'm done for. I believe that psychodynamic "analytical" approaches just are too risky for me, given my history of a violent family and current family of origin stresses.

Life coaching is me, the coach and my goals and wishes and dreams. and guess what? they're coming true!

I deal very little at this point in my life with my family history, because it's just too effing depressing, and that's where most "analysts" live. After picking those scabs for years, and dealing with the suicidal ideation that came in the wake of this kind of "work" I refuse to try that approach again. If it works for others, great. Please refrain from attacking me about this choice and telling me that I need to "get to the root of the problems." I did. Nothing changed. I understood the "dynamics". Nothing changed. I paid each week. Nothing change. I went for years...well, you get the picture.

Now I have a life coach. I go every week and we decide what I am going to do about it all. Things are changing so fast that it scares me.

There is another way.
