Those of us who have been successful
at change inevitably learned along the way that we
couldn't do it alone, in secrecy. Instead, we
learned to reach out to concerned friends, family and
mentors who could help us stay on course, celebrate our
successes, and lift us up when we were down.
So if you are serious about change, consider working
with an experienced and caring personal coach.
Rich Wyler, certified life coach,
founded
People Can
Change in 2000 and co-created its powerful
Journey Into Manhood
experiential-healing weekend in
2002. Under Rich’s
leadership, the Journey Into Manhood program has been
presented more than 40 times across the
U.S.
and in the
UK, dramatically
affecting the lives of many hundreds of men who are
walking the journey out of unwanted same-sex
attractions.
Rich
is a gifted
facilitator of psychodrama, voice dialogue, beliefs
inquiry, reframing SSAs, inner child work, and other
self-discovery processes.
For People Can Change, Rich has also
created and led experiential personal-growth weekends
called “Journey Continues,” “MotherWork,” and “A Wife’s
Healing Journey.”
Rich founded Higher Path Life
Coaching and began coaching clients professionally in
2005. He
coaches clients by phone across North America, Europe

coaches parents and wives who are affected by a loved
one's SSA struggles.
He has received certification in life coaching through
both the Coach Training Alliance and the
International Healing Foundation.

Approach
Life coaches 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).
My 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. I work for you, as your partner in goal
setting, self-discovery, accountability and follow
through. I serve as a sounding board and provide
feedback, teaching and mentoring.
As appropriate, I 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, I’ve found bring freedom not only from the
behavior but ultimately from the desire.
I'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. I'll stay with you until you meet
your goals.
