Beyond Therapy: Mindfulness Based Wise and Compassionate Coaching and Guidance 7719 Hillside Drive, San Diego, CA 92037

"It was the profound integrity and compassion that I encountered in my work/interactions with Michael Gregory that I attribute my ability to cut through powerful negative habit patterns and shed multiple layers of generational afflictive states of heart and mind. It's hard to speak about Michael without mentioning a slew of superlatives, but sufficing—kind, generous, and above all effective, reflect the life-altering impact our work together has left on my life. Anyone working with Michael and Davita can rest assured of engaging with them at the highest levels of ethics, humility, patience and a deep honest caring. Elizabeth A.

"There is much gratitude for Michael's counseling work and how it has affected my life and that of those around me. When one starts together that sinking feeling of "why does this keep happening TO me" that is when you may be ready to work with Michael. His work taught me how to take responsibility for my actions, speech and thoughts. He gave me tools I use daily to help address anger, fear, anxiety and guilt. He has forever changed my life and that of my family. If you are ready to really do work and change your trajectory definitely work with Michael."

"As part of a 90-day solo retreat (2017) Michael Gregory offered a contemplative program integrating meditation, archetypal exploration, and daily journaling. Michael would check in (with me) regularly but the focus was less on individual counseling and more about encouraging me to ‘go down to the basement of my life to explore (without constraints) the many areas I keep private or hidden.’ Since I respect Michael’s integrity as a dharma teacher, and more important, I trust his passionate commitment to do/be whatever it takes to free us from our “mental” suffering, even when we don’t realize we are suffering, I accepted his instructions. The retreat provided a perfect container; the solitude combined with meditation helped me dramatize the varied identities to which I was habituated. Experiencing the best of who we are -our most natural qualities as human beings- fostered greater confidence to investigate the causes and effects of these conditioned habits. Since 2017 my meditation practice continues to flourish as the understanding of emptiness and compassion deepens. The truth of who we are lies not in the stories (habituated patterns) to which we falsely cling but rather to the truth of the way things are."

"Want to know how unconscious mental habit patterns cause problems in your relationships? Want to know how you got where you are, how you made life choices that you don’t want to repeat? Want to minimize emotions like anger, guilt, anxiety, and depression? Michael Gregory’s Mindfulness and Rational Living program helped me with all that. It was a major reboot that saved my marriage and enabled me to live more peacefully and happily at work and at home. I use the skills I learned every day to approach life in a positive and conscious way. Michael’s skill as a therapist is surpassed only by his kindness and dedication to his clients’ needs and well-being. If you want to effect meaningful change in your life, this is the program for you."
