These are the words of people who worked with Jyotisha in his coaching practice in the Netherlands. They came with stress at work, burnout or a pattern that kept coming back, and each of them found the old emotional charge underneath it. That is the same work we do with leaders in Close Up Energy Leaks.
All of them wrote in Dutch. We translated their words into English and kept their meaning; last names are shortened to an initial.
Stuck at work
A friend put me in touch with Jyotisha. I was stuck in my new job. I was overloaded, could no longer reflect and became insecure because of it. On top of that I slept badly. It cost me a lot of energy and I was out of balance. I had six sessions over seven months. At first I became very tired, then my head emptied out instead of being overloaded. I relaxed, the insecurity was gone and I slept better right away. I gained insight into my family relationships and into myself. In the end the new job turned out not to be right for me, but I received important insights about who I am and about relationships. Thank you so much! I don’t think I would have “survived” that job without these sessions, and I will carry the insights with me for the rest of my life.

For almost a year, very bad working conditions had left my upper back completely cramped. Physical therapy really didn’t help. Through an acquaintance I went looking for help close to my work, and within two days Jyo was treating me. How remarkable, after all that time, to walk out almost pain-free after one session. When I came home my husband said: “You look great!” Today I had my fourth session and the last bit of cramp seems to be letting go. It hurt for a moment during the session, which I read as my stress not wanting to let go. Tonight I feel great.

Burnout and stress
The first sessions with Jyo gave me an enormous boost. Physically and mentally I feel like a different person: more mobile, more resilient, more in the moment. In a few months, this fall, I will continue. Thank you, Jyo!
Roni K., client recovering from burnout (translated from Dutch)
A former colleague put me in touch with Jyotisha. I was stuck in my life: a lot of stress, no rest and many physical complaints, which in turn fed fears of illness and death. The circle kept turning, and it had a daily impact on my life for years. Earlier coaching programs and regular doctors had not helped, or not enough. Over half a year I had five sessions in the coaching program. After each session I felt more relaxed and gained a great many new insights. Together we linked the fears to the death of my mother after three years of illness when I was a teenager; the grief had never been processed and sat underneath the fear. With the energy treatment at the end of each coaching session, it dissolved completely, session after session. I developed a clear view of my own behavior and stopped identifying with these old fears. I now live much more in the here and now and enjoy life and my own family with two children far more intensely. Jyo has been a fantastic help on my way to recovery. Just do it!

A pattern that kept repeating
Our conversations showed that I had developed a pattern of letting dominant people into my life and losing myself. It made me angry and sad, and I wanted to change it. Through our conversations, Jyo’s clear analyses and his treatments, I soon found out where it came from. We worked on my past, and he showed me clearly where I had gotten stuck and what to watch for from now on. From September to January we did about ten sessions. I soon felt less sad, stronger and more positive. Jyo has an extremely sharp insight; he gets to the core quickly and makes the problem visible, so you really understand where it sits. I am very happy that we achieved so much in such a short time.
Renate B., coaching client (translated from Dutch)
For 14 years I suffered from agoraphobia and depression. I was tied to my house and only got out now and then, with great effort and panic attacks. I had seen many professionals, including psychiatrists and psychologists, and had been on antidepressants for more than ten years. Nothing helped. None of them looked at my mother’s life: she was placed outside her home from the age of two until she was nine. In the very first intake, Jyotisha saw how things fit together. I was carrying my mother’s grief, and the fear and panic were hers, not mine. Today I go out freely again and I am taking driving lessons. I shop in busy malls, go out to dinner with my partner and travel abroad.

What this means for a leader
None of these clients came for leadership coaching. Yet the mechanism is the same one that limits a CEO: an old charge drains energy, narrows judgment and repeats the same pattern at work. When it dissolves, presence, decisions and relationships change with it. Close Up Energy Leaks applies this to leaders and their teams; How it works shows the steps from first contact to working together.
