Having worked for years with adults in mental health settings I noticed that most people have similar Self-Defeating struggles that become stumbling stones 

as they journey through life…

     Most of these struggles relate to:                              impulsive / harmful actions

negative / distorted thoughts                         self-sabotaging / self-defeating habits

upsetting / difficult emotions                                 conflicted / difficult relationships

confused / faulty decision-making                                 stressful situations / events

     In helping adults address their struggles, my role had 2 aspects:

     As a Life Coach I first inquired: Is there any more you can learn about yourself, especially what might actually be contributing to your struggles ?… Then I offered that the more they engaged in self-observation, the more Self-Discovery they would have of their inner truths and understanding of who they fully are… They found that the more truths they honored, the fewer stumbling stones emerged…

     As a Tutor I taught that the more relevant skills they learned and used, the more prepared they were to build the life they wanted, a life congruent with their truths…  The skills I recommend specifically address the struggles identified above and are found in works authored by mental health scholars renowned in their fields…

     Looking back on my career as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, working with adults from all walks of life, I found that when we fully honor our inner truths…while earnestly using relevant skills…our enhanced personal growth and Self-Management create stepping stones for our path as we move forward 

on this journey we call life…

     If you identify with any of the struggles above and find yourself ready & willing to team up and work together, I welcome your email (gailmailpublic5@gmail.com) with your interest and any questions you may have.  Please include your telephone number as I’ll reply to you by phone.  

     Looking forward to hearing from you, wishing you all the best !       - Gail
