YOUR STORY MATTERS. Unlock Your Potential.
"I'm tired of feeling this way."
From Brad:
Your story matters! Like most stories, they are filled with brokenness, regrets, loss, and unfulfilled dreams. During times like this, it is natural for us to have feelings of fear, sadness, worry, or anxiety. Similar to a flashing light on the dashboard of your car, it is God's way of signaling to us that a reset is needed.
Truth be known - getting stuck led you here!
Stuck. That's how most of my clients explain their situation as it relates to their marriage, careers, relationships, parenting, anxiety, or grief. Naturally, when we get stuck we believe that the simple remedy in moving forward is a swift "push." However, I have found that just the opposite is needed. Pushing or forcing ourselves into change can produce worse outcomes and additional frustration. Let's be honest. We all should be wearing a sign that reads, "Under construction. Thanks for your patience."
I am honored to be a part of your story and I believe that the best is yet to come!
EVERYBODY NEEDS A RESET
IT'S NEVER TOO LATE FOR A COMEBACK
Did you know that every setback can be a setup for a comeback? It’s true. However, your setback doesn’t have to define you. Maybe you're struggling with bouts of anxiety. Perhaps your marriage is in trouble or you’re feeling destroyed as a parent. Does regret or shame weigh you down? Do you experience restlessness? If so, it’s time for a reset. It’s time for a comeback. Reset Coaching will help you uncover your unique strengths and talents, so you can achieve your goals and live your best life.
Your Body Keeps Score
When we worry or feel anxious a chemical called cortisol, a stress hormone, is released. A consistent release of cortisol can weaken our immune system. Improper thoughts can make us physically sick. Science has proven that many forms of stomach issues, such as IBS, are caused by unhealthy thoughts and not just poor food choices. Our thoughts also control our sleep habits, our nervous system, and the amount of good bacteria that is needed for a healthy immune system. The real truth is this, your body keeps score. Mental health is essential to experiencing a good life. I'd love to partner with you to make this happen!
Coaching and Counseling
Coaching and Counseling can be both similar and different. As a pastor, I was trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which helps individuals process their thoughts and behaviors via psychotherapy. There are a number of treatments that can be used to help the brain rewire itself (neuroplasticity) toward greater health and wellness. Counselors trained in Clinical Mental Health can help individuals combat anxiety, depression, and other paralyzing disorders through various treatment options. Although counseling is very much collaborative between a counselor and client (therapeutic alliance), coaching is different in that it focuses on future goals rather than past experiences that led to getting stuck.
Why is this important? In my thirty years of pastoral experience, I have found that coaching and counseling are valuable resources when it comes to one's holistic health. Some clients who get stuck need a coach more than a counselor, and vice versa.
Bottom line: The purpose of our time together is to give YOU the proper tools in order for you to feel confident in moving forward in your mental health and wellness.
