Coaching
Does this sound like you?
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the feelings in your body after a loss? Is uncertainty of what comes next keeping you in a state of inertia?
Do you feel like you are holding a beach ball under water, making all kinds of micro adjustments to keep it down, creating tension in your shoulders, aches in your belly, as well as brain fog?
Are you telling yourself you need to be strong for someone else, and putting your grief/feelings in a box on the shelf, promising to deal with it later?
This is called emotional suppression, and it’s the least effective way of dealing with any kind of big feeling. It actually amplifies what is happening and then requires even more energy/tension to keep at bay.
Make friends with your emotions – it’s all data. It’s letting you know how you are responding to events with regards to your personal values and safety.
Coaching is Collaboration
I hold a metaphorical basket between us, and you put in whatever you want to examine.
We look at it together, you decide what to do with it – leave it in the past, or bring it forward into the future with you.
I ask you questions to deepen your reflection, and guide you through exercises to understand yourself, your brain and body better.
I create a safe place for you to articulate what you know or are questioning, and be witnessed, and to feel all the big emotions that are coming up.
I will pull at the strings of self-judgement and encourage you to be more loving and compassionate towards yourself.
