Higher Path Life Coaching is a team of personal coaches with extensive real-world experience in helping men break free from pornography addictions and unwanted same-sex attractions (SSA).
We've been there. We know the frustration and loneliness of the struggle. We also know the exhilaration of finally breaking free.
Those who have been successful at change inevitably learned along the way that they couldn't do it alone, in secrecy. Instead, they learned to reach out to concerned friends, family and mentors who could help them stay on course, celebrate their successes, and lift them up when they were down.
So if you are serious about change, consider working with an experienced and caring personal coach.

Our Approach
Our approach as life coaches, we do not diagnose or treat disorders. We work primarily with your present and future (in contrast to therapy, which often works primarily with unresolved issues rooted in the past).
Our approach is that you, the client, are not "broken" or "defective" but simply blocked by self-defeating behaviors and beliefs from getting what you really want in life. We work for you - as your partner in goal setting, self-discovery, accountability and follow through. We serve as a sounding board and provide feedback, teaching and mentoring.
As appropriate, we teach 10 Practices of Active Sobriety (as a complement to the 12 Steps of Anonymous programs) and 11 Building Blocks of Heterosexual Masculinity.
These are actions that, if practiced consistently and sincerely, we've found bring freedom not only from the behavior but ultimately from the desire.
We'll mentor you in each area, help you stay committed and accountable, encourage and support you in your success, and help you pick yourself back up if you slip. We'll stay with you until you meet your goals. |
