Examples and cases of coaching trajects:
A pre-University students: “ I feel like I am failing my parents, I have convinced everyone that I was sure I wanted to study medicine but actually I do not know at all what I want to study….”
This young man was relieved to know that there was nothing wrong with him, once he understood how his “system” works.
In a Coaching session he learned that the “right way for him” to take an important decision is to wait for clarity (the more important the decision the more time he needed), in the mean time he really just does not know for sure.
This young men took the time he needed and he ended up choosing a totally different study.
A young professional, trying to find his way in life: “I am stuck in my life, I do not like my work and I seem to be taking the wrong decisions in my life”
A frustrated young professional that feels at a crossroad in his life. He felt that his past decisions have all lead him only to failure and frustration.
In the coaching sessions this young man deeply understood the way his mind “mis”-lead him to take decisions from a place of “survival” all his life. For example taking decisions in order to avoid conflicts, or to prove to others that he was good enough, or sure enough about his decisions etc.
HD gave him the tools to take decisions from his “inner authority” that place inside of him that knows what is good for him.
He started his “experiment” and was amazed to hear himself saying "no" to people and things where his mind would have said yes in the past.
A woman in an abusive relationship: “I want to get out of this situation and I do not know why I cannot, I need help”
We worked through the fears inherent in her system, helping her understand her design and why it is so difficult for her to let go of this situations that is obviously bad for her.
We then studied her husband's chart and their combined chart.
Using her “inner authority”, she was able to take a decision that is “right for her”. Understanding her own design and the interaction of her design with that of her husband empowered her to take the steps she needed tot take at this moment in her life.
A middle aged materially successful man “finding the connection with my family at home”.
A self made man, in early retirement, needed to understand the impact he has on his family. Showing this man the difference between his own design and the design of his children was essential. He expected and pushed his children to be like him and was disappointed when they were not. This created suffering for him and for them.
In the coaching session, he understood their uniqueness and the power in their design and how to approach them in a way that is healthy for them. This man left with a deep appreciation for the difference between him and his children.
A mother visits me about her young son (ten years old): “he is different, I do not know how to deal with him, he isolates himself in his room, he is difficult to handle at times etc.”:
During the sessions, this mother understood the “otherness” and strong individuality of her second son. This is a creative child, that can go through short periods of melancholy or feeling down, he just needs to be left alone during those times that works best for him.
In a couple of sessions, she learned how to ask him what he wants, and how to help him deal with the pressures he feels from the people around him.
Most important she understood that actually she is the one that “triggers” him emotionally and that the way she reacts emotionally has a direct link to how her child behaves when he is being “difficult”.
Both parents were happy with the insights and practical solutions the coaching sessions gave them in dealing with their child.
A professional consultation: “a serious burnout”
This therapist has a design that is vulnerable to stress and burnout, it is difficult for her to know when enough is enough and when to stop working.
She was constantly trying to prove herself to the world, taking on the responsibilities of other people around her, working, studying and selflessly taking care of others, until finally she ended up totally broken and burned-out.
In a coaching session I showed her, the strengths and weaknesses in her system and how to live and operate in a way that is healthy for her.
