Self as Coach

My “Self as Coach” is a reflective awareness that taps my life context, identities, experiences, narratives, and “internal landscape.”

It is the tool that supports our strong working alliance by enabling my:

​

• Presence – being fully present and engaged in the moment, alert to all that is happening on multiple levels.

​

• Empathic Stance – experiencing your feelings and holding those spaces together.

​

• Range of Feelings – exploring a full scope of emotions to support your self-development.

​

• Boundary Awareness – differentiating our individual personas and human systems to help you notice your own dynamics.

​

• Somatic Awareness – perceiving your body’s signals to help build your mind-body connections.

​

• Courage to Challenge – examining areas that are uncomfortable to explore, surfacing patterns out of your awareness.
