Trevor Huffman
Therapeutic Wellness Coach
Hi, I’m Trevor.
I’m currently living in North Carolina and I’m seeing clients online. I collaborate with the Love U team weekly online, and I come to Vermont a couple of times a year to put on workshops, seminars and events.
Here’s a little story about me and what led me to work with Love University.
When I left the United States of America at the age of 22 to play basketball overseas, I didn’t actually want to go.
Really, I was scared to start my new life.
I had failed my dream of playing in the NBA.
I had failed my small community of Petoskey, Michigan.
I had failed the voice of my ego.
I had failed my father and was still assembling the pieces of my broken childhood.
But if I did one thing admirably (at that age), it was remaining stubborn in my reflections around who I wanted to be and why I wanted to be… something. What was I chasing? What did I really want? All I really knew at that point was that I wanted to explore this vast, ever-changing universe, and feel profoundly alive (really, alive!).
As I moved to seven new countries into my mid-thirties, I endured lost relationships, performance anxiety, suffered health scares, multiple surgeries and foreign languages. I started realizing many parts of me were still unloved and hidden from myself. I slowly became aware of how my ego was stopping me from an authentic existence, especially in regard to the context of America’s definition of personal success. Through all of the drama and reflection, I began to face fear and anxiety head-on and learned how to accept and be with life changes, instead of fighting them. I could see how the fighting was keeping me dull and stuck. With this on-going, deeper exploration, I was able to finally understand how to get there.
And that’s the simple sauce: I made my way to Love U through my mental suffering. The struggle guided me to a place of greater awareness of how to be and live my life in more wholeness, aliveness and presence.
As I let go of my previous life identity, I discovered that change was challenging because my ego was attached to what wasn’t true about me. I had to find out what was true.
What I can offer you is an authentic unraveling of the self.
Simple sauce #2: I don’t have a master’s degree in psychology. I have an ongoing-learning degree of vulnerability and listening.
Yes, my experiences have taught me a lot, but so what if I’m not able to be compassionate, non-judgmental, and really with you? That’s the root of what I can offer and the basis of Love University. Through dialogue and deep listening, I’ll teach you how to pull the threads of your thought patterns and beliefs, and genuinely accept change and feel alive. By slowing down and dialoging, an opening can arise. It can show us the self-limiting patterns of our ego, the negativity of our voice, and how our conditioning directs the values we may unconsciously follow.
We’ll flow into who you really are. One day, one moment, and one piece of awareness at a time.
If you feel lost, anxious, depressed, angry or triggered by all the changes happening inside (and around) you, maybe we can meet and find a way through it. Maybe we can find your thread of curiosity and love, and help you pull on it occasionally, together.
