PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT heard. I worry about what others think of me. I always think I’ve done something wrong. I’m tired of being treated like sh*t. I want to be respected at work). How much time have you spent in traditional therapy, reading books, and talking to people about your problems but are still stuck in the same patterns? How often do you get frustrated with yourself that you can’t seem to get meaningful results from where you are right now?
AMANDA KIRKLAND “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” - Carl Jung Hi, Neighbours. I would like to introduce myself again. I’m Amanda, a Personal Growth Coach. I’m a Trauma Aware Certified Master Practitioner in EvolvedNLP, QTR and Hypnotherapy. What I do... I do not help people fix their lives. My job is to ask the right questions so that people can see for themselves what they need to do, and then guide them to help them do it. As children, we develop coping mechanisms for dysfunction to help us survive which we carry into adulthood, confining us to certain behaviours and feelings. In most cases, you can’t control all the variables or the outcome of events in your life. By becoming aware of this, you can change those patterns and choose new responses. Let’s play a little here.

On a scale of 1–10, how much of a priority is it for you (today) to stop trying to figure this out yourself? How great would it feel to live your life without the sh*t you’ve been experiencing for years (because that luggage is far too heavy!)? Would you invest in yourself if you could change all of this? When I answered all these questions, I realized I was ready to commit to making some changes in my life. I invested in myself and started working with a COACH because I’m worth it and I deserve to live my best life. If you’ve never tried coaching before… it changes everything. I am so happy I changed my life. In a matter of months, on my journey, I experienced more personal, emotional, mental, and physical shifts than in over twenty years of traditional talk therapy. This was nothing short of amazing. Would you like to discover the secret to living a more fulfilling life? To feel heard and understood, to have the confidence to speak up, to have people get and understand you, to feel respected? How to spot toxic patterns so that you know how to respond to them better? I have the lived experience and the tools to help guide you on this journey. If you’re ready to make changes, let’s talk. amanda@amandakirkland.com www.amandakirkland.com
