The Journey to

Emotional Freedom

The coaching program outlined below has been discontinued as a group coaching program, because I am focusing my energy on serving my other group offering, Better Beyond Divorce. That program is growing rapidly, and I simply don't have the time to give to the Journey to Emotional Freedom.

I am able to take on a limited number of clients in a modified version of this program with 1:1 coaching. For more details, you can reach me at rachael@rachaelsloancoaching.com

In the meantime, here is a list of resources that can support you. I’ve also included my full responses to people in similar situations in the Q & A list.

Powerful support for people whose partners (or ex partners) experience depression.

It's time. You need self care that STICKS. Results that are real, that last and allow you actually, truly, get healthy, get happy and create the life of your dreams.

If you love, or have loved, someone who experiences depression, I'm willing to bet that you've been on the emotional roller coaster for too long. Let's get off. Stop waking up with the fear, "how do they feel today?". Stop wondering what to tell your friends. Stop waiting to live. You don't have to be exhausted by worry, anger, helplessness and overwhelm any more.

Are you ready to take charge of your own mind, kick anxiety and shame to the curb and start living? I mean really living. Like going after your wildest dreams, embracing big love, feeling fully. Living your human experience to it's utmost.

That's exactly what I did. And now I've created a program and a community that will help you do the same.

Whether you're together, separated, divorced or considering a break-up, if their depression is making you feel anxious, confused, angry or lost, I'm here to help you find the path forward.

"Rachael you have been amazing. A few months ago I was a mess and now I feel like I have all my ducks in a row. Exceeded all my expectations. Felt to me like a very evidence based programme and I really appreciated that.

I feel I now have have a new lens to view the world with."

Stop the loneliness. Discover connection, acceptance and support.

A Community of people who really, truly get you.

Enjoy 24/7 access to an online community of people who are facing the same challenges, fears and experiences you are. Most of us feel alone, nearly all the time. We know it's not our partner's fault, but they leave us alone when the depression comes around. We know it isn't our friends and families fault... but they leave us alone when they can't relate to or understand what we're going through.

You don't have to do this alone. The community is a space to share your wins and celebrate the good days. It's a place to cry, rant or scream on the bad days. It is a place to share your experiences, learn from each other and coach each other through.

Most of all it is a place where you don't have to pretend. You don't have to censor your thoughts or your words to avoid triggering someone or making someone uncomfortable. It is a safe place for you and me, where we will find the love, support and unconditional acceptance we need.

Get off the emotional rollercoaster. Kick shame and guilt to the curb. Support and connect with your partner without burning yourself out.

This Group Matters to Me, Personally.

This group coaching experience is important to me on a deeply personal level. I am one of you. My husband of 10 years struggles with depression. In fact, it was my own emotional melt down around trying to support him that brought me to coaching in the first place.

It was through that initial work that I found the emotional center I needed to stop taking everything so personally and love my husband without constantly trying to fix him. My first coach saved my marriage. And my sanity.

I am still on this journey. I am still learning, I am still growing. I am still finding, understanding and refining the delicate lines that define and connect self-governance (emotional ownership) and intimate connection. How much does my partner influence my emotional well being? How much am I responsible for my own emotions? What is my responsibility to him? How can I show up in my marriage in a way that allows us both to grow together?

As I answer these questions they come up again in new ways. It is a cycle, a journey, a constant growing and expansion of my human experience.

That's a long way of saying that I'm in this with you. I was initially shocked by the number of people who reached out for support in their relationships with partners who struggle with depression. There are so many of us! We shouldn't do this alone. Let's do it together.

I'm committed to this journey, and I sincerely hope you'll join me.
