Sas introduces the concept of parallel process – when our work with clients activates our growth. 

Often, this isn’t pretty or easy—it’s the moments when we notice patterns we are engaging in as part of our work. Sometimes, clients' particular challenges or approaches can feel really uncomfortable - it might be something we share with our clients.

Coaching is relational, so parallel process is of course, inevitable. We will get entangled with clients - its part of the work. And our clients will project on to us all the time! Transference and counter-transference is part of the work.

Often, our experience is not helpful to share with our clients. When we are going through something that has not yet been processed, its probably inappropriate to bring into sessions.

So, how do we hold ourselves steady in these moments? What are the ethics and good practices that support us and our clients?
