Life Coaching Secrets

110. The Emotional Pendulum


Listen Later

As a coach, one of the biggest challenges is helping your clients manage their emotions effectively.

Just like a pendulum, emotions can swing back and forth, and finding the right balance between allowing and shifting is key to helping our clients thrive.

When someone allows an emotion, they are essentially allowing the pendulum to swing in one direction. They are fully experiencing the emotion and allowing it to be present in their awareness without trying to change or suppress it.

On the other hand, when someone tries to shift an emotion, they are attempting to pull the pendulum back in the opposite direction. They may be trying to distract themselves or change their emotional state in some way.

As coaches, it's our job to help our clients find the sweet spot where they can acknowledge and experience their emotions without getting stuck at one extreme or the other.

In this episode, we'll cover:

  • Understanding the difference between allowing and shifting emotions
  • The benefits and risks of both approaches
  • How to recognize when a client is trying to avoid their emotions
  • Coaching questions and techniques to encourage clients to connect to their emotions
  • Strategies to help clients shift painful emotions in a healthy way
  • By the end of this episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of how to help your clients manage their emotions more effectively.

    Knowing when to allow emotion and when to shift it is a critical skill that can make all the difference in your coaching sessions.
