Takeaways Investing in coaching and receiving support is a vulnerable and courageous decision. Skepticism and defensiveness are natural defense mechanisms that arise when we let go of control and trust someone else with our healing. It is important to do due diligence and ask the right questions to ensure that the support we invest in aligns with our needs and goals. Recognize the difference between intuition and defensiveness, and practice self-compassion when skeptical feelings arise.
