Re: No response to stimulants or antidepressants. Now what?

Thanks for the response and the reference, but I had a look at the site, and he wants me to answer a “coachability questionnaire” which, as far as I can tell, screens out people who most strongly need help and are foundering,

For instance, some of the questions; “I can be relied upon to be on time for all calls and appointments.” “I am fully willing to do the work and let the coach do the coaching.” “I am willing to stop or change the self-defeating behaviors, which limit my success.” If I could reliably do those things I wouldn’t need a coach, seems to me.

Then there are a couple of odd questions: “I am someone who can share the credit for my success with the coach.” “I have adequate funds to pay for coaching and will not regret or suffer about the fee.” “I see coaching as a worthwhile investment for my life.”

Well, I am not primarily interested in making the coach look good. If I got results I would certainly spread the word — but why would the coach need to know this upfront? And then, screening for solvency — everybody needs to make a living and so does he, but so do I, and my symptoms are making this awfully difficult and discouraging. If I had adequate funds I would access resources here in Winnipeg. So, stalemate.

I am glad this fellow works for you, but he doesn’t seem a good match for me.
