JOHN KIM, LMFT blogs as The Angry Therapist. He practices complete authenticity and transparency with his many clients, frowned upon in the clinical world, and continues to look for new and unconventional ways to help people. He created the Catalyst Life Coaching Course, an online life coaching certification program, and recently John started a new platform called SHFT, an app that gives people support in their pocket
when they need it and the chance to become a life coach themselves. John Kim lives in Los Angeles where he makes videos on his phone, CrossFits, and rides his motorcycle to coffee shops to do sessions.
In this episode we talk about:
- how breakdancing gave him confidence and a sense of belonging when he was growing up
- going to college and getting in screenwriting because it was an easy degree
- starting his career in screenwriting full of joy and then it turning into a chase for more
- how his divorce led him to therapy and created an entire new act in his life
- discovering his desire to want to help people in therapy and so going back to school to become a pyschologist
- starting a blog just to let his feelings out and how that ended up shaping his path
- creating his own way to serve people outside the traditional therapy model
- how he stays true to himself
- where his new book Single On Purpose came from
- wanting to give a cape to single hood and reconstruct society’s view on being single and also on being divorced
- trusting the timing of life, your path, and the connections you make along the way
