Hey my name is Mark, I would like to share a little insight into my  healing journey:

I have struggled with complex post-traumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) resulting in a constant feeling of anxiety and hyperarousal (like being on high alert constantly). Although my life has been balanced overall with accomplishments I'm proud of, I also experienced childhood bullying, overbearing/controlling parenting, learning to earn love through codependent patterns, people pleasing to fit in and self abandonment for fear of judgement. These problematic experiences carried over through to my adult life and it eroded my self esteem and self trust. I have always felt as though I was flying my own plane, however, I was not entirely using my own navigation system that directed it. This is often what leads us to finding ourselves in careers, relationships and choices in life that were not exactly what we intended, therefore, they no longer align with our true goals and desires. That is what led me to life coaching. I noticed one consistent theme from the sessions I had with my peer coaches, which was gaining clarity. I found that having a safe space and focused coaching session can help individuals learn from each other, expand views and gain clarity to start on a road of positive change that can help get you to a state of living your best life possible which is different for each individual.
