I'm currently seeking an existential and narrative-driven life coach / psychologist/ mentor to help me navigate feelings of depression, emotional detachment, and existential challenges. My goal is to quickly identify the underlying issues so we can build a clear, actionable path forward.
I’m looking for someone who can engage deeply with my personal narrative, provide straightforward guidance, and help me move forward without relying on specific techniques or healing methods. The focus is on gaining clarity and crafting the next chapter of my life with purpose and direction. Please mention how you would approach my specific issue. I view this all an issue that can only be solved through action. I'm also looking for something intensive and fast paced. This is about understanding the specific issue in the best way and then applying the correct fix. Here are some thoughts I tend to have:
"I’ve been feeling disconnected from both my past self and life in general.
Things used to feel more vibrant and meaningful, especially during my childhood and school years, where there was a sense of purpose, social connections, and being "on the ride" of life.
Since a two-year period of job rejections, it feels like I’ve been on the sidelines, like life has been happening but I’m not really an active part of it.
I want to bridge the gap between who I was then and who I am now. Right now, it feels like life is fragmented, and I’m struggling to find any meaningful continuity or direction.
I often think about the past—how life felt more alive back then, and how it feels like I’ve entered a "post-life" mode, where everything now feels less exciting and more detached.
I’m caught up in existential thoughts—why what I do now matters more than what I did 10 or 20 years ago—and I’m having trouble finding any strong interests or direction to move forward.
There’s this desire to reconnect with my old self and the world in a way that doesn’t feel like I’m just going backwards or trying to relive the past, but rather to move forward in a meaningful way.
Ultimately, I want to feel engaged in life again, with purpose, connection, and the sense of being on a journey. I miss the sense of being alive, relevant, and like I’m part of something unfolding."
