“ What I appreciated most about Damodar was his friendliness and genuine care. I was looking for more balanced ways to approach work, and quickly found that I had a lot of unconscious motives driving me. Damodar asked great questions that deepened my thinking about seemingly mundane things. I learned to be less critical of myself, stop pushing to extremes, and instead be productive - while also taking needed rest. ”

“ Damodar’s coaching helped me identify ways I was holding myself back. His guidance made a challenging transition a lot less difficult. He went above and beyond to make himself available in a personal way. ”

“ Damodar helped me see parts of myself that I wasn’t allowing myself access to. When I first started taking his help, I was imposing a value system on myself that didn’t actually reflect my innermost self and desires. I was really just absorbing the value systems of other people out of fear of rejection or conflict, while half-heartedly passing them off as my own. With his kind and steady help, I began to discover my own voice - and a deep, genuine self-confidence. ”

“ For many years I had an addiction. I felt so ashamed that I went out of my way to keep it a secret, even while seeking help. 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 and actually reached over one year of complete sobriety. 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. He’s a great guy. ”

“ I’ve had moments where I was afraid of losing myself. I couldn’t believe where I’d been and what I’d done. My inner child and personality, the voice of my conscience that I had known all my life was feeling dim, and I realized how scary the world can be. My conversations with Damodar were an important part of stepping into my power, and putting these insights to practice. Having this space to talk openly helped me get in touch with a deeper place in myself, and solidify it in how I live my life. I was able to bypass some serious temptations, and now I’m experiencing a level of stability and fulfillment that I’ve never reached in my whole life. It’s still challenging to maintain, but everything is more simple now. ”

“ I appreciated Damodar’s non-judgmental demeanor, but at the same time, his ability to help me recognize harmful patterns in my thinking and behavior. The conversations, structured journaling, and role-playing all helped me to better understand my wife’s feelings, and communicate my own. We learned to navigate conflict in a way where our relationship actually becomes deeper. ”

“ I have been in an ongoing struggle with addiction and anger for a long time, as well as self-destructive thoughts about my personal image and identity. But through our conversations Damodar helped me to gain the insights I was hoping for. I got a better sense of what I can positively appreciate in myself. I saw how my past traumas can be triggered by events in my current life, and how that can be a catalyst to patterns of thinking and acting that I’d be better off to avoid.

I learned how to handle conflict in a way where I can be empathetic both to myself and the other person. I learned how to be kind to myself by celebrating my wins, and not looking at every “loss” as evidence that I’m a failure. I have more insight now about my heroes and role models in life, and how they had paved the way of my morals and ethics that have been buried in my heart since my young adulthood.

I appreciated Damodar’s kindness, his attention to detail in our conversations, and the sincerity in his responses. He’s a very good listener, very thoughtful, and he asks honest and thought-provoking questions. I felt like he could really empathize with me in a way that I had been needing, and it really made me feel comfortable to open up about sensitive matters. ”
