Approach to Coaching
While various approaches and models are used, the basis of "Mastering ME" Coaching revolves around the tenets of:
- Humanistic and Existential Models: (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK64939/ ).
- Cognitive-Behavioral Model (https://www.mayoclinic.org/tes...) - Helps you discover the patterns between Events, Thoughts and Feelings, and Behaviors. Know better, do better!
- Strengths-Based Approach- We make sure that the "Problem" is not the only thing being pulled into focus. Truth is, there are many positives and strengths within us all, even at our lowest, even if we cannot see them. That's part of the value of getting help- perspective!
- Human Needs Models (Various)- We can help you frame and understand every behavior as an attempt to meet an underlying human, emotional need. This will help with validation and forgiveness (self and others), and we can begin to explore healthier ways to meet the identified need.
- Life-Balance Model- We will help you identify the areas of your life that are important to you, and then a way to assess the ever-challenging balancing act of them all!
- Values-Based Model- Our values drive all that we think about, all that stirs up emotions in us, and all that drives us into action. Do you know you values? Do you know how to create a value-based life that infuses YOUR core values into all that you do? We can help you create a more intentional, values-based life! (Helps with the Life-Balance too!)
- Modified 12-Step Programming- For substance/addiction-based issues.

Additional Information
“I spent most of my teens and early twenties stuck in the problem. Growing up with abusive stepdads, a mom who suffered with mental illness and substance abuse, there was no solution or healthy coping skills demonstrated for me. I grew into an anxious and insecure human. I felt powerless and my life was unmanageable. At the age of 24 my pain became great enough that I was left with three choices: continue to live the way I was, try to end my life again, or transcend. I wanted more for myself. I wanted to be awakened to a life worth living. My decision was to transcend. However, I didn’t know where to begin. Now, many years later, I am proud to say that I have found a path that creates the undercurrent of peace that I have in my life today. My hope is that you choose to transcend your own life. I know that you, too, can awaken to a healthier you. The first step to unlocking this is all is knowing you are worthy of it…and you are.” ~Dillon
