Before I started my Earth Coaching package, I had spent the year since my diagnosis (aged 35) feeling quite lost. I had a lot of feelings of frustration, anger and confusion. Whilst finally being able to put my finger on a factor that had contributed to a lot of negative feelings about myself.
The biggest thing I got out of the experience was learning to understand more about myself and coming to terms with finally having a diagnosis. Medication has had mixed results, but being able to sit and work through things in my own time and space has been a revelation. I still have my struggles, but Bex has been fantastic in letting me work through the various issues and difficulties in my own way.
Being able to work with someone who doesn't make you feel as though you're being judged and doesn't try to "fix" you (like many therapists I've seen in the past) is easily Bex's biggest strength.
Finding someone who genuinely listens without spending the entire time you're talking thinking more about their next question (and in so, not really listening to anything you're actually trying to say) has really made the process quite fun and engaging. It really hasn't been all work, there's been plenty of room for just good chat that has really helped us to build a good rapport.
I've achieved a lot of things through working with Bex - the sessions being held outdoors were a great chance to walk and talk, sitting side by side makes sessions feel less like an interview and more like a conversation with a friend who you've known for years.
The biggest achievement has been spending far less time being so hard on myself, learning to utilise my strengths where possible and learning to ask for help from family, friends and in my professional life.
And this makes me feel really grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Earth Coaching. I wasn't sure what to expect prior to my first session, but I can't think of a session where I've not come away feeling a bit lighter and with a bit more perspective.
What I would say to anyone who is thinking of working with Bex, but isn't yet sure, is to just make the leap. In many ways, I could have avoided years of ineffective therapies had I have 1) had a diagnosis but 2) got the opportunity to just sit and be myself with someone who offers professional guidance, but a real sense of genuine care and enthusiasm.
Overall, I'd recommend Bex because if like me; you're ready to take the next step in your journey/evolution to a better relationship with yourself and others - you won't be disappointed. read more
