DoctorLoveCoach.com :: Love Coaching, Dating Advice & Relationship Help by Dr. Janice Bennett

These are excerpts from correspondence I received from some of my real coaching clients satisfied with the services I provided. I have guaranteed them confidentiality for the purpose of sharing their success. However, if you would like to speak with anyone featured here about their coaching experiences, then please let me know by going to the Contact Us page.

"Janice is a tremendous help in that emotion-laden land of relationships. I'm a coach myself, so she's a coach's coach! She brings clarity, insight, support, and a depth of practical experience and wisdom that can only come from having created a lasting relationship in her own life and having helped many others do so. She consistently helped me regain some perspective when I was lapsing into reactivity. I think my relationship survived and is thriving in large part because I had that help. I will always be grateful for what I learned working with her."

'I had been dating for a long time and had become very frustrated by my lack of success in finding the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. But Janice was very straightforward and honest and helped me hone in on what was holding me back from successfully moving through the dating maze. With her help, I was able to focus on those relationships that had the potential to deepen and those which did not. Within two months of coaching, I met the man of my dreams (literally, I dream of him every night!).

'From our very first phone conversation, Janice helped me to make finding a relationship a priority, because up until then I was busy building a successful career. Once my fiance and I decided to become exclusive, Janice encouraged me ask the 'difficult' questions so I could determine if he and I were on the same page with regard to our life goals and desire for commitment. Now, as we plan our wedding, Janice continues to help me to ask the 'difficult' questions, and navigate the ever-increasing number of decisions that must be made about our future.

'I enjoy working with Janice and recommend coaching highly. During every call (and email), Janice expressed friendliness, concern and genuine care for me. I found that it really is true--if you focus on your goals, you can achieve them--and Janice can help you get there!'

I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your coaching over the last five months. Your advice was always excellent and I believe it was very helpful in allowing me to become engaged to the most wonderful girl. The phone coaching was direct, focused, and goal-oriented. Your e-mail advice was very prompt and thorough. I also found you to be genuinely concerned with my success. I hope you will continue to be helpful in assisting singles for many years to come.

I heard about Dr. Janice from a friend of mine who had become engaged and married by using her coaching services. I had been dating for a long time and had my list of what I thought I wanted in a relationship. But when I took Janice's 'Beyond Chemistry' teleclasses, I learned to focus on what was really important, and that what I wanted and needed was legitimate.

When I began dating E.L. a few months later, I had the clarity to date with more consciousness, but knew that I could benefit even more by having Janice coach me on an individual basis. Her wisdom and guidance helped me to focus in on E.L.'s enduring qualities, and her support helped me to see how E.L. and I had developed a healthy partnership which was enhanced by our good communication. And so we got engaged!

I have already recommended you to my friends and will continue to do so. Thank you Dr. Janice!

Dear Janice, I think it's time to express my deep gratitude for coaching me in the past 8 months.

I owe you a big THANK YOU because you have been instrumental not only in helping me get engaged to a womderful man, but first and foremost in recognizing the characteristics that I was looking for when I started dating him, and on focusing on the right things. For the first time in my life I can say that I am in a loving, balanced and mature relationship, and I have never been happier.

Again, thank you. I truly appreciate your professional help and would definitely recommend it to others who are still lost in the dating maze.

Hi Janice, I thought you might be interested to know that I finally did get married to a wonderful man. I really appreciated the advice and coaching that you gave me when we worked together. It provided me with some good pointers to help me survive the sometimes crazy dating maze of Manhattan. I'm glad it's over! Thanks again. I will certainly recommend you to my single friends.

I just wanted to drop you a note to thank you for your valuable time and coaching. When we first started working together, you knew that I was a bit of a serial dater and tended to stay in relationships way longer than I should. You helped me to look at each relationship in a much clearer way and to move on when it was a 'dead end' relationship one reason or another. You helped continue refine goals dreams give up. And finally, someone who dreams. So far, he met ALL criteria (which were high) surpassed my wildest imaginations. He is brilliant, funny has a heart of absolute gold. don?t know tomorrow will bring, but am grateful every moment we together. Thank for helping me believe, stay focused and faith. I have not compromised on any issue. Keep doing what you doing!! There are many more individuals waiting to find happiness.

Thank you Dr. Janice for helping me become engaged! I am grateful to you for so many things: but mostly for coaching me to sit on my hands and not to call him constantly, for helping to identify and manage my gremlins, for enabling me to trust my intuition and take care of my own needs, and for educating me on the subtleties of how relationships develop!

I know I benefitted enormously from your wisdom, especially your coaching me to use clear communication. If not for being coached, I might have messed up the first five important dates with my soulmate! Thank you, thank you, thank you for being cthere with you no-nonsense coaching styule and for helping me to get out of my own way. Everyone who is dating for marriage needs a coach like you to save them months and years spinning their wheels.

When I participated in Janice' s *Beyond Chemistry* series in Spring 2004, I realized that the man I was dating at the time did not meet my requirements and needs for a life partner. I then used my notes from those teleclasses to carefully select who to date, and thereafter met Brian. I knew that I needed to clue him in on what I was looking for based on the new dating skills I had learned, so I casually reviewed some of teleclass notes with him, as well as the *One Minute Quiz to Evaluate a Potential Soulmate.*

Not only did these strategies strengthen our communication and commitment to the same life goals and personal needs, but it started us out on a very open and accepting level. We became engaged in September, 2004! Thanks Janice!

During the time that I worked with Dr. Bennett as my personal coach, I became involved with four different men, with the goal of finding the one who would eventually become my loving and committed husband.

With each relationship, Dr. Bennett helped me to better define how I deserved to be treated, and how to believe firmly in myself and my ideals.

While dating the first three men, Dr. Bennett coaxed, guided and supported me to see that they were not husband material. With her encouragement, I was able to make healthy decisions for myself, and eventually find the courage to break off each of those relationships.

In the beginning of 2003, I started dating Donald, now my husband, and things moved along very rapidly. We were very open with each other about our feelings and relationship needs, and decided that we did not want to play any games. Still, given my previous experience dating *commitment-phobic* men, I was nervous about Donald's potential for commitment, and worried about being rejected.

Dr. Bennett's listening ear, wise words and unrelenting support helped me to recognize that Donald was the right one, that his intentions were serious, and that he would not reject me. So I have to say that her instincts were correct!

I had just returned from meeting a woman whom I had been dating 'virtually' (via email and telephone) and contacted Janice for a complimentary coaching session. I explained that while the meeting felt right (we had much in common and experienced a mutual chemistry) I still had the feeling that something WASN'T right about the relationship. After listening to me carefully, Janice suggested that I take the *One Minute Quiz to Evaluate a Potential Soulmate,* which she then emailed me.

The Quiz took me only 33 seconds! It enabled me to articulate just what it was that made us incompatible. I have since hired Janice as my personal coach, and I am hopeful that with her guidance and support, that I will be meeting and marrying my wife very soon.
