Gary found the way forward by accepting his emotions:

“I used to feel completely stuck in my own head. Every time I had a negative emotion—whether it was doubt, resentment, or jealousy—I’d feel guilty for even feeling that way. I was trapped in this loop of overanalyzing everything but never really knowing how to deal with it. On top of that, my perfectionism made it even worse, because I expected myself to be in total control of my emotions all the time. If I wasn’t calm or 'spiritual' enough, I’d beat myself up for it. It was exhausting. I was resorting to some pretty unhealthy habits to cope, but I didn’t even realize that overwhelm was the driving force.

That’s when I started working with Damodar. One of the first things he told me was to stop running from my emotions and just accept them. It sounds simple, but for me, it was a game-changer. For so long, I had been trying to ‘fix’ everything about myself, and Damodar helped me see that the first step was to actually stop trying so hard to be perfect. Instead, I needed to accept my challenges and focus on my response. With his help, I was able to start untangling the emotions that had been weighing me down for so long. It wasn’t about getting rid of them but about understanding and letting them be. I realized I didn’t have to feel like a saint to move forward.

Once I stopped expecting perfection from myself, everything started to shift. I wasn’t so overwhelmed by guilt or pressure anymore. I could focus on my daily tasks and spiritual practices without constantly comparing myself to some ideal version of who I should be. That sense of calm that came with accepting where I am—right here, right now—was huge. And honestly, it’s made everything easier. I’m still working on things, but with Damodar’s guidance, I finally feel like I’m making real progress.” — Gary

Jose set heathy boundaries:

“I was stuck in an awkward work relationship with a friend of mine. His demands came almost everyday, at all hours, and were never-ending. I never even got a ‘thank you’ for all the volunteer work I did. Only criticisms and more requests. This left me suspended in a constant state of anxiety. Since I was afraid to make mistakes, I kept trying harder and harder to prove that I was good enough. But even when I finished big projects, I still felt depressed.

Somehow, I wasn’t able to see just how unhealthy and manipulative this dynamic was. But with Damodar’s help, I gained clarity about what I needed to protect my mental health, I set proper boundaries, and was able to correct the imbalances in our relationship.

I’m so glad I finally opened up to someone. Damodar has been instrumental in my personal growth, and I consider him a trusted friend and guide.”

— Jose

Chris transformed his life from depression to joy:

“When I started coaching with Damodar, I was holding on to a lot of blame and anger, both towards myself and other people. I often felt overwhelmed with anxiety while interacting with people. And I was struggling with addiction on almost a daily basis.

But what’s amazing is that now it’s hard to even relate to that condition I was so absorbed in before. I’ve become more self-controlled, accepting of my situation, and confident in myself. I think the core of what helped me was the safe space Damodar provided to talk about sensitive matters, and the gentle grounding of the journaling exercises we did. This coaching process really helped me to understand my own feelings, and find the path forward to heal and grow from my experiences.

I've rekindled friendships, relationships, and experienced a new sense of grounding, focus, and creativity. I was able to build a strong morning practice of yoga, mantra meditation, and exercise, which has boosted my overall well-being in a big way. Journaling became a strong habit for me, even though I had tried before without much success. Overall, Damodar inspired me to be more honest and to pursue greater integrity in my life.

I feel like Damodar’s genuine care for others was the driving force behind my transformation. And I would recommend him to anyone who’s struggling with difficult emotions, addictions, or even anyone who wants to explore and more deeply understand their own life and feelings.” — Chris

Darren reached one year p*rn free:

“For many years I had an addiction. I felt so ashamed of it that I would drive 50 miles each week to see a counselor, just so no one would recognize me.

Since then, I started coaching with Damodar, and we’ve actually written down my whole life story together. I began to realize that my addiction makes perfect sense given my rough circumstances and sensitive nature. I also began to see my way out of it.

I’ve become more assertive and self-satisfied in my dealings with others. I’ve learned how to accept my feelings and take greater responsibility. The experience of having Damodar get to know me so personally, and still be warm and accepting, has been the opposite of shame. Now I’ve reached an entire year of sobriety. And I’m so grateful to him.”

— Darren

Luke learned how to push himself in a sustainable way:

“What I appreciated most about Damodar was his friendliness and genuine care. I was looking for more balanced ways to approach work, and quickly found that I had a lot of unconscious motives driving me. Damodar asked great questions that deepened my thinking about seemingly mundane things. I learned to be less critical of myself, stop pushing to extremes, and instead be productive - while also taking needed rest.”

— Luke Vanderlinden

Tony escaped the grip of anger:

“I have been in a long fight with uncontrolled anger, as well as self-destructive thoughts about what I’m worth as a person. But with Damodar, I got a better sense of what I can positively appreciate about myself. I saw how my past traumas can be triggered even in the present with people I love, and how to stop that avalanche of toxic patterns before I hurt myself or anyone else.

I learned how to handle conflict in a way where I can be empathetic both to myself and the other person. I learned how to be kind to myself by celebrating my wins, and not looking at every “loss” as evidence that I’m a failure. I gained insights about my heroes and role models in life, and how they had paved the way of my morals and ethics that have been buried in my heart since my young adulthood.

I appreciated Damodar’s kindness, his attention to detail in our conversations, and the sincerity in his responses. He’s a very good listener, very thoughtful, and he asks honest and thought-provoking questions. I felt like he could really empathize with me in a way that I had been needing, and it really made me feel comfortable to open up about sensitive matters.”

— Tony Doggett

Marco felt like the could talk about anything:

“Damodar made me feel like I could talk about anything without worrying about being judged or criticized. He helped me learn how to take a step back from my indecorous behaviors, so I can avoid them by understanding the reasons behind them. What I’m really grateful for is not only did this help me, but it also helped the people I’m close with. There are so many paths and goals in life, but I was able to find that the morals that can guide me are already deep inside myself. It takes strength to put your hands down and admit you don’t have your act altogether. But I learned more about myself that way.”

— Marco “Manohar” P.

Andy found his voice:

“When I first started coaching, I was imposing a value system on myself that didn’t actually reflect my innermost self and desires. I was really just absorbing the value systems of other people out of fear of rejection or conflict, while half-heartedly passing them off as my own. But Damodar helped me see parts of myself that I wasn’t allowing myself access to. With his kind and steady help, I began to discover my own voice - and a deep, genuine self-confidence.”

— Andy

J.W. learned how to navigate marriage conflicts in a constructive way:

“I appreciated Damodar’s non-judgmental demeanor, but at the same time, his ability to help me recognize harmful patterns in my thinking and behavior. The conversations, structured journaling, and role-playing all helped me to better understand my wife’s feelings, and communicate my own. We learned to navigate conflict in a way where our relationship actually becomes deeper.”

— J.W. North Carolina

Dan discovered new things about himself:

“For years I had journaled on and off, always with the intention to make it a daily habit, but was never able to maintain the practice. Damodar’s habit tracker and stimulating journal prompts helped me rediscover my love for journaling and it’s been a consistent daily habit for me ever since.

I appreciated the insights Damodar offered, and especially the way in which he offered them. Rather than just telling me how to improve, he helped guide my introspections in a way that I was able to see the deeper causes of negative habits and understand why I developed them as coping strategies, as well as the valid need I was trying to meet, and how I could meet that need in healthier ways. In this way, he showed me how transforming habits is not as much a process of self-neglect and restraint, but rather self-care.

In working with Damodar, I was also able to see subtle connections between different tendencies in my life that were previously unnoticed. This was highly empowering and motivating to know that addressing and working on the root of one problem would enhance multiple aspects of my life; and my experience since then has confirmed this to be true. He is extremely insightful, relatable, non-judgmental, comforting, but also challenging when I need that. It's clear that Damodar is integral in practicing and living what he teaches.”

— Dan

Shri Nitai found a safe place to open up:

“For anyone who is considering this offer, I will say first hand that Coach Damodar is a sensitive, grounded, and judgement-free listener. He has a lot to share, and a desire to support people to step into a safe, authentic, and cathartic inner transformation. I felt like each time we met I leveled up in my ability to take on the insecurities that keep me from being my highest self. 10/10 I would recommend speaking with Coach Damodar.”

— Shri Nitai

Giri got unstuck from difficult emotions:

“Damodar carefully and lovingly facilitated a coaching space for gentle and thoughtful introspection and self-exploration. While working with him, I always felt heard, received, and understood. He helped by sharing other perspectives and viewpoints which made me feel less "stuck" and more whole in myself and my experience. The journaling activities were a paramount tool in navigating my inner landscapes and processing my thoughts and emotions. I'd love to work with Damodar again and would certainly recommend his service to others!”

— Robert “Giri” Strampello

Rodney rekindled the fire of self-control:

“I’ve had moments where I was afraid of losing myself. I couldn’t believe where I’d been and what I’d done. My inner child and personality, the voice of my conscience that I had known all my life was feeling dim, and I realized how scary the world can be.

My conversations with Damodar were an important part of stepping into my power, and putting these insights to practice. Having this space to talk openly helped me get in touch with a deeper place in myself, and solidify it in how I live my life. I was able to bypass some serious temptations, and now I’m experiencing a level of stability and fulfillment that I’ve never reached in my whole life. It’s still challenging to maintain, but everything is simpler now.”

— Rodney

Sam navigated a difficult life transition.

“Damodar’s coaching helped me identify ways I was holding myself back. His guidance made a challenging transition a lot less difficult. He went above and beyond to make himself available in a personal way.”

— Sam

Dharm felt supported and cared for:

“Damodar has an enthusiasm for the spiritual health of his clients along with transparency regarding his own journey. He has earned my trust and inspired me to care for myself in a way I have needed, but neglected for a long time.”

— Dharm

Mike began profound changes in his life:

“Damodar has been an excellent guide into my inner life of rejuvenation and self-improvement. He facilitated the understanding that I needed to begin profound changes in my life.”

— M.H. New York

Jon finally got to the root of the problem:

“My name is Jon. I’m here to talk about my friend and mentor, Damodar. I’ve known Damodar for several years. He’s kind and insightful, but he’s also helped me a lot to grow in a lot of way. He’s shined a light on issues that I’m struggling with, but don’t necessarily know that’s my particular problem. But he’s very good about pointing them out and he does it in a very respectful, kind way. So I highly recommend his service as a coach.” — Jon

Santosh found his calling:

“Before I started meeting weekly with Damodar, I was overwhelmed and lost. Practically every day I was coming up with new ideas of what I wanted to do with my life. But I wasn’t following through on anything. I was resentful, burnt out, and coping with some habits that made me heavy with guilt.

Damodar helped me find the places in myself that were in need of healing. I learned better ways of dealing with hard feelings. I clarified the direction I want to go with my career, and even avoided a divorce by resolving long-standing differences with my wife. I feel far more peaceful and grounded now, and I’m far more self-controlled both with my desires and anger.”

— Santosh

Nick opened up to love from other people:

“I'm a student of Coach Damodar's, and have been for about six months. I appreciate the empathy and intelligence that he brings to his program. He helped me identify my negative tendencies. He also helped me to inspire a positive vision for myself and the future. In finding the negative tendencies, I was able to accept them, and view myself with some empathy and forgiveness. Inspiring that positive vision, I was able to give my life a lot more meaning. And what's really cool is now I can accept positive feedback and not view myself with such contempt that I don't let anything nice in. I really think that Coach Damodar's Program, his teachings, his coaching, is incredibly valuable. And you'll feel much more valuable yourself if you take him up as a Coach. So please do.”
