Stop me if you've heard this...

Well, I did it.
I broke up with my life coach. We were supposed to have this pro-bono relationship for a year. She would allegedly help me sort myself out. I would allegedly learn a lot from this process and be able to gather my own fish in the future. She assigned me books like Taming Your Gremlins and The Power of Now. As it turns out, I'm even more stubborn than I thought. Not only did I not read the books, I went to the store, picked them up and PUT THEM BACK! Take that!
They make this huge distinction: coaching is not counseling. We hold our clients "creative, resourceful, and whole." [Insert my skeptical face]. I knew she wanted to fix me:
"Let's take a look at this life wheel."
"Ok."
"For example, on a scale of 0-10, how do you feel about money?"
"Um...5, I guess."
"Wow. What I'm getting from you is that you're not satisfied with money..."
"Um, I guess not."
"Is there anything else you'd like to say about it? [silence]...Let's move on. Career?"
"Ten."
"Wow. This is a pretty bumpy riding wheel."
"Yeah. [The part where I pour out my soul to this woman who doesn't know me at all and somehow is still trying to fix me. I cannot find my way out of this conversation. When I hang up (because this is all happening via phone) and for days afterward, feel like poo, until I sever ties with said coach and feel like a new woman.]"
