“ For many years I had an addiction. I felt so ashamed of it that I would drive 50 miles each week to see a counselor, just so no one would recognize me when I walked in from my car.

I’ve actually done coaching with Damodar for over five years now, and we’ve written down my whole life story together. I began to realize that my addiction makes perfect sense given my rough circumstances and sensitive nature. I also began to see my way out of it.

I’ve become more assertive and self-satisfied in my dealings with others. I’ve learned how to accept my feelings and take greater responsibility. The experience of having Damodar get to know me so personally, and still be warm and accepting, has been the opposite of shame. Now I’ve reached an entire year of sobriety. And I’m so grateful to him. ”

“ Before I started meeting weekly with Damodar, I was overwhelmed and lost. Practically every day I was coming up with new ideas of what I wanted to do with my life. But I wasn’t following through on anything. I was resentful, burnt out, and coping with some habits that made me heavy with guilt.

Damodar helped me find the places in myself that were in need of healing. I learned better ways of dealing with my feelings and getting important work done without being so hard on myself. I clarified the direction I want to go with my career, and even avoided a divorce by resolving long-standing differences with my wife. I feel far more peaceful and grounded now, and I’m far more self-controlled both with my desires and anger. ”

“ When I started coaching with Damodar, I was holding on to a lot of blame and anger, both towards and myself and other people. I often felt overwhelmed with anxiety while interacting with people. And I was struggling with addiction on almost a daily basis.

But what’s amazing is that now it’s hard to even relate to that condition I was so absorbed in before. I’ve become more self-controlled, accepting of my situation, and confident in myself. I think the core of what helped me was the safe space Damodar provided to talk about sensitive matters, and the gentle grounding of the journaling exercises we did. This coaching process really helped me to understand my own feelings, and find the path forward to heal and grow from my experiences.

I've rekindled friendships, relationships, and experienced a new sense of grounding, focus, and creativity. I was able to build a strong morning practice of yoga, mantra meditation, and exercise, which has boosted my overall well-being in a big way. Journaling became a strong habit for me, even though I had tried before without much success. Overall, Damodar inspired me to be more honest and to pursue greater integrity in my life.

I feel like Damodar’s genuine care for others was the driving force behind my transformation. And I would recommend him to anyone who’s struggling with difficult emotions, addictions, or even anyone who wants to explore and more deeply understand their own life and feelings. ”
