About Me

Brendan McCormick

Growing up a child of divorce I found myself in the role of mediator for my family at a young age. This role led to an identity I created to protect myself, and it infiltrated all of my relationships for most of my life. Once I realized this I chose to embark on the journey to become a Certified Relationship Coach at The Relationship School® with Jayson Gaddis, and after two years of deep study at The Relationship School® I was Certified as a Level 2 Relationship School Coach for individuals and couples.

I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and have done social work with a variety of demographics (including homeless families, adults with disabilities, and children with severe trauma) for several years. Feeling stuck and limited by the nonprofit system, I decided to travel the world and ended up diving deep into spirituality. This provided me with great insight into the depth of my being, but I felt something missing in the spiritual practices I engaged in.

I contemplated grad school for Counseling Psychology for several years, thinking it was an inspiring career choice, but I had resistance due to trauma experienced in the formal education system growing up. While in limbo about grad school I explored plant medicines and shamanic healing. In the plant medicine ceremonies, I found truth within myself by shedding layers of conditioning acquired during my life. However, I struggled with the integration of this deep shadow work, which proved to be a vital missing piece on my path to wholeness. This created a desire to provide a service for individuals in need of Integrative Coaching. While formulating a business plan for my own coaching program I was blessed to find the work of Jayson Gaddis and The Relationship School®.

The Relationship School® provided me insight into the power of relationships and the ability they provide to recognize disowned parts of ourselves. With this recognition, we can utilize challenges as opportunities for growth, and take responsibility for our life. I resonate strongly with the idea that the core human wound develops from forfeiting self-expression in exchange for connection. This resonance led me to enroll in The Relationship School® and focus on mastering skills to enhance my relationships and help others do the same.

If you feel called to dive deep into your heart and find out who you are by utilizing relationships as feedback to get into alignment with your true self, I’d love to work with you.

May we all have the courage to let go of our victim stories, remember who we are, and step into our natural authority.

I have been coached by Brendan several times and I always find myself experiencing the feeling of being truly heard. His pace works so well for me. Nice and steady without rushing or allowing me to go on a crazy tangent. I also appreciate his intuition, his insight, and his ability to help me see things in a way that didn’t seem possible before. Thank you so much Brendan!

Brendan McCormick is in my experience an effective and talented coach without whom I would not be living the quality of life that I am today. For years Brendan has been a guiding force in helping me understand my subconscious motives and develop a more authentic relationship with myself, my parents, and my partner. In one session Brendan sat patiently for several hours as we together unveiled what was really going on during an extremely difficult time in my relationship with my partner. I am forever grateful and love this man, and would recommend his service to anyone seeking to step beyond the smallness of victimhood and into their organic authority.

Brendan is an exceptional coach. His capacity to hold space with such grounded presence and acceptance is what has allowed me to work through some very tender, uncomfortable and emotional terrain. It takes a lot of trust for me to feel safe enough to drop into some of the deeply rooted self-judgements and bottled up shame that I feel around some of my experiences as a mother. Working with Brendan, I have not only felt safe, seen, and understood, but I’ve actually been able to transform some of these deeply held perceptions I’ve had of myself. As a coach myself, I deeply value and appreciate the care, sensitivity, and intuition that Brendan brings into his sessions, but also his ability to gently challenge me. I am a better version of myself because of my work with Brendan and I highly recommend him as a coach.

Working with Brendan has brought me a greater sense of peace. I have been learning to cope with interactions in my life in an easier way. He’s guided me to bring to the surface my truths, to help me examine behaviors and blocks and given me tools to grow, engage better with others, and continually evolve. He has done this in a gentle, non judgmental , accepting and empowering way. I am grateful for the time and dedication he brings to each session.

Brendan helped me develop a skill set that continues to support me in creating a healthy relationship, which means overall we fight much less, and much cleaner when we do. Coaching with Brendan was a very high-return investment that will pay off for decades. Highly recommended!

Talking to Brendan every week made it easier to have the hard conversations by working out my triggers in our sessions, instead of letting them erupt mid-dialogue with my partner. As a man, this was invaluable for me because I want to show up clear and hold clean space for my partner, rolling through the waves of emotion without getting terribly hooked.

Brendan helped me deepen trust with my partner by learning to trust myself — clarifying my values and staying true to myself while staying connected with her. He was insightful, his question were always on point, and he held a safe space for some tough emotional stuff that came up in me.
