Have you ever considered how fear influences coaching dynamics – the fears of the client, but also the coach? In this enlightening conversation, Robin Shohet, a supervisor of nearly 50 years, joins our host, Dina Sabry Fivaz, to delve into topics such as the interplay between coaching and therapy, the barriers of self-deception and the blocks created by the idea of a separate identity. Robin talks profoundly about fear, how it shapes our conversations, judgements and perspectives, as well as how it blocks love in relationships. He shares how helping clients to overcome fears that block love, has become a focus of his work.

 

Robin explains why interruptions can sometimes be a vital tool, and how shifting from finite goals to infinite possibilities can transform the coaching experience. Whether you’re a coach, therapist or someone curious about personal development, this episode encourages a holistic and spiritually aware approach, aiming to foster deeper connections and personal growth.

 

You will learn:

 

·       Exercises to help recognise and address fears and blocks to love within yourself and your clients

·       How moving beyond separate identities opens the door to deeper love and connection, and why addressing fear is essential to this process

·       Why breaking the cycle of repetitive thinking through intentional interruption can guide clients toward profound awareness and change.

 

 

“Once you bring fear to consciousness, it doesn't have the same power. But it has a lot of power when it's not made conscious, and it comes out as all sorts of distorted behaviour.”
