Before I started working with Jeremie, I had been focusing on self-growth and transformation work for about 9 months.  I was a member of an online men's group and have worked with a traditional counselor for several years, but hadn't focused on specific 1:1 work.  I knew that how I was showing up in my romantic relationships, friendships and workplace relationships wasn't satisfying, and I was experiencing increasing anxiety and panic attacks daily for over a year.  I wasn't expressing my deepest needs and I struggled with verbalizing and maintaining personal boundaries with people in those close relationships.  I definitely fit the "nice guy" archetype, and have a history of over-committing myself in relationships as well.  

All of those issues culminated in the Spring when I suffered a major panic attack at work and had to take a leave.  Through the course of the next several weeks, I left my job, questioned if I should change careers, and ended up going through a very difficult break-up at the same time.  I had seen Jeremie's posts on social media and had listened to all of his podcasts, (I was particularly struck by his 3-part podcast on accessing your inner child!), so I knew I wanted to address those issues through his particular expertise.  Through all of the turmoil I was experiencing, I knew that the solutions were to change how I was showing up in relationships, and that I needed to address my own core wounds as well, but traditional counseling wasn't accessing those parts of me in a practical way.  

My introductory phone call with Jeremie started with me bursting into tears after just ending a particularly hard conversation with my ex.  I didn't have a job, a place to live and had just been dumped a week before we started working together.  Much to his credit, Jeremie was able to roll with my emotions from the first moments, create a safe container for them and get a grasp on what I wanted to work on immediately.  Our early work focused on identifying my core wounds and issues.  Jeremie asked me to spend time deconstructing where they came from, but also practicing very practical ways to regulate my nervous system in the moments that I was outside of my own window of tolerance as well as deeper work to acknowledge my own grief and anger, but also differentiate myself from those parts of me and create a sense of control in my current life and relationships.  A particular turning point was our session talking about my inner teenager.  Through that session I discovered what it was I needed to listen to and understand, as well as unlocked a key learning about how I viewed myself, my emotions and how that was impacting my adult relationships in challenging ways.  Through our session and the homework that followed, I explored how to listen to, speak with, soothe and differentiate those wounds and parts of me that were still processing grief, anger and pain from that part of me that wanted to make other decisions that weren't driven by those feelings.  This was probably the most challenging week for me during my transition and our work together, but ultimately the linchpin in making huge changes in my life.  

When I look at where life is today, it's hard to believe our work together was only three months!  I'm in a new job, and while I'm still practicing making and enforcing those boundaries an automatic response, I'm having a much different relationship with my boss and coworkers in very positive ways.  I'm also in a newly blossoming romantic relationship, and realizing my work with Jeremie has had a great positive impact there as well.  I noticed I attracted a much different type of person once I started to redefine my relationship with myself.  Once I started to value my own emotions and boundaries more, the people I found attractive and the person I've started dating embodied that value as well.  It's been easier to have vulnerable conversations and ask for my needs to be met, and I feel much better equipped to lead myself and in my intimate relationship as well.  It's also easier to express myself fully, without diluting my opinions and emotions based on what I feel my partner might think.  I'm more secure in what I think and feel, and confident that those thoughts and feelings will improve our relationship instead of being judged or unwanted.  

I would wholeheartedly recommend working with Jeremie to anyone who wants to make a real, practical change in their life.  If you're someone who struggles with knowing your own wants and needs, or have had your own emotions and wounds hijack your relationships, Jeremie's coaching will be a huge benefit.  Jeremie's work and assignments were always a mixture of conversation, journaling and practical applications.  I left our session with a clear sense of what I was working on as well as concrete skills and strategies to practice. I've done years of counseling and other forms of group work, but found Jeremie was the most effective work I've done, as well as a great value.  He's an emerging star in the men's transformation/healthy relationship coaching space, and I'd recommend working with him if you're serious about changing your life immediately.  It's challenging, difficult work, and you won't regret a moment of it!
