BRINGING TRUST AND TRANSPARENCY BACK TO RIDESHARE
LIFE COACHING CONSULTATION - BECOME THE FULFILLMENT YOU SEEK
IT'S YOUR TURN
Hi, I'm Ferron Wiley.
I am a Self-Actualization Life Coach specializing in assisting individuals recover from Christian-based religious trauma. Religious Trauma Syndrome is real, and I assist those who are as a result questioning their beliefs and who are perhaps experiencing fear around the idea of re-evaluating or leaving their faith practice. I am passionate about people finding pathways through the critical thinking process and becoming more autonomous in every area of their lives. In virtual sessions with me as your coach, you will discover new perspectives and hear rational explanations that can illuminate your understanding and lead to lasting solutions. You will uncover pathways to move forward beyond punitive, guilt, or shame-based motivations for making life’s important decisions. You are a whole, complete, and resourceful person, all by yourself, and I will coach you in a way that helps you see that for yourself. In consultations with me I’ll work one-on-one with you to help you take action in your relationships that will help you navigate this daunting and courageous life pivot.
THINGS TO CONSIDER
While I do have extensive experience working in the mental health field serving Adults, Adolescents, and Children in inpatient and outpatient settings, I leave all mental health diagnoses and treatment to licensed mental health professionals. If at any time during our consultations issues arise that qualify as requiring treatment I am happy to make a referral to one of the licensed mental health professionals I am partnered with for a better fit for your needs.
THE PURPOSE OF A LIFE COACHING CONSULTATION
The purpose of a life coaching consultation is to assist in helping you overcome struggles and set achievable goals. It all starts with a conversation about what areas of your life you are wanting to transform. Most of my clients have heard my personal story somewhere or another and resonated with how like me, their associations with religion have negatively impacted their view of themselves and led them to make important life choices that were based on faulty or unverifiable information. For example, one might be chronically avoiding dating situations because they were raised with the belief that being alone with the opposite sex or that having an attraction for the same sex is sinful. Or one might be in full-stop to start a business because they believe they need to hear from God first on every decision they make. But actually, it can be anything. Ultimately our consultations will be about learning to be confident in the choices you make for yourself. outside of whatever negative belief structure you've had about yourself, been taught, or any anxiety you may have about what others might think of those choices.
GET OFF THE WHEEL
As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and religious trauma perpetrated at the hands of clergy, these experiences have given me the opportunity over my life to develop and distinguish healthy coping skills from unhealthy ones. As well, I have been able to systemize the steps I took to reclaim ownership of my life from the clutches of the outcomes of my negative past. From overcoming homelessness through entrepreneurism, engaging in harm reduction techniques to minimize the negative impacts of addiction, and learning to navigate complex relationships with family. Let's work together on a plan to help you get off the wheel of making life decisions that limit you from becoming the very best version of yourself. IT'S YOUR TURN!
TESTIMONIALS
Alex - I listened to Mr. Wiley's Audiobook Tabernacle of Lies and I identified with what it was like for him growing up with attractions for other males and being made to feel less-than because of it . I remember being told I was an abomination, that I was going to hell and that God wouldn't have anything to do with me. I was struggling with alcoholism, I couldn't keep a job and I had become homeless. Mr. Wiley helped me to see myself and my decisions going forward as valuable. Our sessions together have helped me get a better handle on my drinking and given me more confidence to separate myself from toxic people and places including my church. Mr. Wiley is also helping me with how to word things so I can make my best qualities shine on paper as I look for a better job. I can only afford sessions twice a month but he offers me sliding scale so I can do it and I think its worth the investment. I'm not there yet but I have made a lot of progress with his help.
Nikki - He's so funny. He takes a little getting used to but he don't mean no harm. After a while it just felt good to be able to laugh at myself and not take shit so seriously.
Debra- I was in an abusive relationship but I could never bring myself to leave because I was taught that getting a divorce was a sin. I was refferred to Mr. Wiley through a friend who said she had watched his presentation on how he stopped being a pastor. She thought that he could help me understand the bible better and why it says some of the things it says about marriage, some things I didn't even realize and more importantly how a woman's point of view so often absent from it. Mr. Wiley helped me see that I was not anyone's property but my own and that being abused is not what I deserve no matter how many times the bible says that suffering is a good thing. Mr. Wiley helped me find the resources that led me to a battered women's shelter where I am able to work with lawyers to help me finalize my divorce. Mr. Wiley helped to be less afraid of asking questions about the beliefs I have and helped me see why its important to do so. I have had to stop my sessions for now but once my divorce is final I plan to start again because I have more goals I want to reach.
