Be careful. Pick up the phone and call this guy and he'll launch right into a "life coaching" session even if all you want to do is ask some basic questions. Be prepared for him to keep you on the phone till you're dying to get off and are even considering hanging up on him just to get rid of him. He demanded that I trust him and reveal some rather personal stuff but all I wanted was to talk about the very basics. He gave me no reason to trust him at all and he didn't seem to understand that you have to earn trust. He has no understanding of the impact of traumatic events. Mostly, I was laughing inside because his attitude was the most negative I've ever seen in a life coach. He projected his negativity onto me, sadly. The tendency to project is rampant in the "help" profession. I kept warning myself during the conversation every time I saw a red flag that told me to get off the phone ASAP. The best thing he said was that I didn't have to take what others say seriously. I agree! At that point, I stopped taking him seriously and just tuned out. It worked! It got him off the phone, thank goodness. Anyone feeling vulnerable due to being at a life crossroads is going to get seriously damaged by this guy. Stay away. read more
