Benjy Sherer

Benjy Sherer has spent the last 5 years as a mental health coach, teaching his own unique methods of emotional healing to people who had struggled for decades to find relief from their mental health struggles with standard approaches. His work has helped people overcome things like anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more, but the approach he teaches is about much more than overcoming any of those conditions. It’s about developing an over-arching sense of personal mastery to be able to conquer any challenge that this world can present with fearless confidence. He describes his approach as ‘Emotional Fitness Training’, likening emotional healing to physiotherapy: There are muscles and skills that have atrophied over time and which we have built defense mechanisms around to avoid impacting the sensitive parts of ourselves. While that’s a fine short-term solution in moments of trauma, in the long run, it causes more harm than good. Therefore, to heal, it’s not about finding or analyzing the root of the initial injury, it’s about rebuilding the appropriate muscles and learning how to walk again.
