Finding the right life coach


  • Shamans
  • Love
  • Light
  • Yoga
  • Kundalini 
  • Yogini
  • Namaste
  • Tattoos
  • Crystals
  • New age 
  • Woman in robes with long hair
  • Releasing chakras
  • Accessing your blocked energies
  • Attracting abundance
  • Living in the present moment


The above are some of the things you will see most spiritual teachers and coaches mentioning in their blog, instagram feed and website.They will claim to release all your energy blocks and help you attract love and abundance in your life.All they will expect you to do it pay them obnoxious amounts of money for their mere presence or even a skype/telephonic.They will give you crystals to wear and some pre-recorded meditations and claim that it will overhaul your life

There is a second bunch of coaches who will have a fantastic story of an epiphany they had due to which they left their corporate job and wanted to help and serve people and are hence coaching.They will claim that you too can have financial abundance and live a life of complete freedom if you adopt their lifestyle.Their instagram feed will have pictures of them lounging in exotic locations with their dog/partner all the time .Rest of their feed will consist of bashing capitalism.Where the money for these travels comes from, whether they are able to pay bills and what kind of life they are actually living beneath the bubble of their social media are things nobody knows.

Both the above mentioned categories are to be avoided.They are both gold diggers looking to make an easy buck at your expense.They lack training,know how and skills to help a person transform though.

Avoid the prospective coach if they have following red flags:

  • No certifications
  • Act pushy on the first call
  • Make unrealistic claims
  • Can't explain onboarding and coaching process with ease
  • Are charging towards the top of the range
  • You get uncomfortable in their presence
  • They seem inauthentic
  • Their claims distort reality
  • They seem too glib and smooth to be true


Things to look for in a prospective coach

  • Empathy
  • Compassion
  • Resilience
  • They don't make any unrealistic promises
  • You feel comfortable around them
  • They have track record of stability and paying clients
  • They are constantly trying to improve their own self

How to overcome fear of engulfment in relationships

Fear of engulfment is the fear of getting controlled by partner or losing yourself in the relationship.It is a very strong fear of being swallowed by the partner and makes one run for the hills.The individual with this fear hence completely avoids relationships sometimes or is unable to sustain them and runs each time things begin to heat up. This fear is actually a fear of rejection .Due to this fear the individual gives too much in the early phases of the relationship so that they can please their partner and to ensure their partner likes them.They take responsibility for their partners feelings and want to make sure the partner stays happy and does not reject them.But this too much giving from the fear of rejection makes them feel trapped. The solution to this is to develop stronger boundaries, not take rejection personally and religiously practice inner bonding to develop a very strong sense of adult self.

  Characteristics of   trauma bonded relationships: A constant pattern of non-performance — your partner promises you things, but keeps behaving to the contrary. Others are disturbed by something that is said or done to you in your relationship, but you brush it off. You feel stuck in the relationship because you see no way out. You keep having the same fights with your partner that go round in circles with no real winner. You're punished or given the silent treatment by your partner when you say or do something "wrong."
