> Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it. Has ANYONE used a life coach and had a positive experience with one?
hi asya,
earlier this year i saw a life coach, but he was too rah, rah, cheerleader for me. i know lots of ppl just loved him, and i'd say if i didn't have the problems i have, maybe a coach would be what i need. also, one of the professors i had was a life coach. she was awesome! i might not have stayed in school if it wasn't for her. she just knew the right thing to say, the right thing to motivate me. is it possible to find a life coach in your area? one avenue is to look for local adult add support groups, i know add adults often prefer a life coach to a therapist. or, if you want a definte source of life coaches, there are online adult add site that has what i know are legitimate coaches. I know they're legit because my coach knew, and talked about these ppl. if all else fails, try it. it can't hurt, unless you give out credit card info, your social security number, or something like that.

a few of the sites with legit coaches. these people do add and other issues:
