Rick has changed my life with his coaching services. He has provided me the resources to further my personal journey in leading life with truth and authenticity. Every session with him was fruitful because he had sympathy from similar experiences in his life and he listened with empathy in difficult experiences that troubled me. There is no doubt that you are in good hands with Rick if you are on a path to recovery and healing.

Growing up without a father in the home, and a single mother with issues of her own, I came to Rick in need of understanding and processing both a father and a mother wound. As a result of our time together, Rick helped me to see that I was (as he described) fragmented and underwater. In that state I felt relegated and obligated (due to responsibilities and the expectations of others) to live out the rest of my life unhappy, irritable, and longing for more.

Through coaching sessions, I learned (among other things) to recognize and connect with different aspects of my personality ... those that were in need of being freed. In addition, Rick helped me to recognize that I do have options and choice, and the power to navigate my emotions in more responsible and healthy ways in the future, so as to more positively influence and experience my life, marriage, and parenting.

The money, time, and effort that I invested in the process have been well worth it. I have no reservations in wholeheartedly encouraging other men seeking hope and help to take advantage of Rick's life experience and expertise.

Rick came into my life after I saw him on a YouTube video. I was stagnant in my thought processes and stumped by overthinking. Immediately I connected with him and with the topic, the Mother Wound, and later narcissistic parents. When I was able to talk directly to Rick regularly, I knew I was on the right track in being open with him.

Rick shared much of his knowledge and experiences like we’d been friends for decades. He gave me helpful tools to live more authentically. He also opened my eyes to coping mechanisms which no longer serve me. Much of his wisdom haunts me - in a good way! I’m so blessed to have him in my corner. I’ll never be able to pay it back, but I bet he’s happy that I’m more aware and self-adjusted, every day serving my own needs in a healthy manner. Thank you Rick.

As all relationships are milestones for consciousness, my recent nine-week coaching with Rick Belden to work with and heal my Mother Wound is already a cornerstone work in my life.

I've been a coach for a good number of years, so when my last relationship triggered shadows along with shame and humiliation on the levels I had never experienced before, I came across Rick’s essay online, Men and the Mother Wound, and it really spoke to where I was.

From my first call with Rick I really felt like I was being guided through a healing process and a territory that I think very few coaches and counselors know as well as him.

Through the coaching, step by step, the bonds of my co-dependency have finally come off, and I am experiencing myself in a new way – as someone who matters more to himself and navigating the waters of relationships so much more freely now.

I was in a deep rut. A stagnant job, stagnant relationships, little happiness and hobbled by old, unresolved issues.

The work never fully ends, but Rick has been an invaluable guiding light and a genuine inspiration in helping me to help myself.

He sees things clearly and works with integrity and compassion.

If you're ready to put the effort in, look honestly inside yourself and at the roots of the obstacles in your life, I'm sure Rick can help you get where you need to be.

Rick helped me to integrate emotional, spiritual, moral, and physical neglect as well as abuse.

Making sense of a childhood that I don’t wish on anyone yet now in hindsight I am glad I had. It allowed me to be me and arrive at this point in time and space.

Basically this man has been where sadly many men I know in real life currently are at. He managed to break his shackles of ill-directed childhood programing and now guides others that are on the same quest.

A world that is perceived as confusing, helpless, hopeless, volatile, and without simple user manual issued at the starting line to its inhabitants.

Rick played an instrumental role as a coach that enabled me to finally after five decades on this planet switch sides. I no longer consider myself the victim of any malignant operator. Self-love rendered that an impossibility.

Thank you, Rick Belden.

I have struggled with intense feelings of shame and self loathing since childhood. After the ending of a horrific marriage of forty years I was floundering in a sea of shame and confusion.

From the beginning Rick intuited things about me that I was unaware of, and gave me the resources to research those things. He helped me step outside myself to get a clearer picture of who I am. This helped me see many of the false perceptions that I have clung to for so long. This process helped me see some of the goodness in myself and be more accepting of who I am.

The homework assignments caused me to do some serious thinking and were very stimulating.

I can say that I am on a good path and feel hope and confidence that I can continue. My sessions with Rick have been a boon to me and I highly recommend his coaching.

John M. (Costa Rica)

I am a 56-year-old man. I chose to work with Rick after seeing him recommended by Ross Rosenberg on YouTube. The time with Rick was spent on issues stemming from growing up with an abusive alcoholic mother, absent father, and a 21-year relationship with a psychopath. I was stuck.

With Rick I learned new behaviors that helped me focus on moving forward and learned to take care of my needs ... something I have struggled with for years. I feel like we worked together to develop a good foundation for myself that I can continue to build on.

Working with Rick got me to a spot where I could finally make some good forward motion. Finally, I have a good grasp on myself, who I am, and what I need to do to keep moving forward.

I'm very grateful for my time with Rick. I feel capable in my own life for the first time in many years. I highly recommend working with Rick.

Working and being guided by Rick Belden has been of paramount use for me in trying to connect the loose ends of my emotional life. Having an academic degree, owning two companies, and considered to be a "golden boy" by traditional external definitions has not in any way helped me to understand my emotional hang-ups, which result from childhood traumas related to parenting full of good intentions but sadly insufficient to make me mature and bloom as a grown man.

Rick has in a gentle, non-judgmental, and compassionate way guided me through his 90 day coaching package, making me believe that there is a meaning in most of what happens. His convincing and kind way to deal with my issues has made me realize that all true attempts to understand childhood traumas, regardless of kind and severity, are of greatest importance and crucial for emotional thriving.

Rick is a person with ripe emotional intelligence gained by dealing with his own struggles. I strongly recommend both men and women make use of his coaching service. The experience is well worth both the time and the money. His idea of the "Mother wound" is emotional dynamite.

My work with Rick has opened doors that I didn't know existed which I went through to get unstuck and it opened new lines of work in my life.

Before starting work with Rick I felt depressed, stuck, and nothing worked anymore. I was desperate because I felt like I had no way out, no progress possible, and the place that I was in was terrible. After 10 years of therapy and steady progress, therapy no longer worked at that point.

My work with Rick took me to known places (unsolved issues with my mother's neglect and abandonment, my father's hatred and rage, with bullying in childhood, and with my old fears of people and institutions) but at deeper levels, which helped me uncover previously unknown levels of pain and unseen self-defeating habits that I was doing.

I was out of touch with all of these. Blind to them (I did not know why I felt stuck prior to that). I've realized so much new stuff. These realizations have started chipping away at old beliefs, and I've started chipping away at changing attitudes and behaviours.

There is much work ahead of me working on these new lines of work I've opened up with Rick. I also want to add that I'm a pragmatist, I do what works, and I also don't do what doesn't. Rick works.
