Eight Years of Inner Work: How Therapy and Coaching Rebuilt My Career, Relationship, and Self-Worth

A deeply personal account of eight years spent in psychotherapy, coaching, and other modalities like numerology and energy work, detailing how this inner work reshaped nearly every area of life—from reconciling with a father and meeting a life partner to leaving employment for entrepreneurship. The piece distinguishes therapy's deep healing from coaching's practical fixes, explains why readiness and fit matter more than method, and explores what drives the common pattern of anxious overachievers raised on conditional love. It closes with practical guidance on costs, typical session rates, and how to find the right specialist, framing inner work as a catalyst accessible to almost anyone willing to try it.
