Hi Nicole, I have just finished your Rewire book and I wanted to thank you for three main learnings for me: 1) the section on creeping normality was very interesting as I suffered from a lot of rejection and bullying in my youth and still do today. I was born with a lazy eye and have had corrective eye surgery twice as a child, however I was told that the result of the surgery was a big improvement but not perfect, however it was the best they could do. I’m 61 now and still have vivid memories of this conversation when I was 10. 2) The chapter on Fixed vs Growth Mindset was great and I learned that I have a very closed mindset and confirmed by my wife. 3) I found the section on building self trust excellent.

I was hoping that you might be able to offer some guidance on rewriting my narrative for someone who suffered and still suffers from micro traumas, with my small physical defect. I try daily meditation, however I’m not fully ready to accept my physical appearance and find it difficult to let go of constant resistance.

I was hoping you could offer some advice in your regular articles or perhaps you offer individual coaching.

I look forward to hearing back from you and wish you continued success in 2025.

Regards

John Garland

Dear John

Thank you so much for such a detailed comment. I am actually opening my coaching books from mid January. I will message you with my email so we can move this there and that way I won't lose your contact details.
