Confessions of a Parent Coach

Internalize, Externalize or Repress?

What is your default coping style? This week on the Confessions Of A Parent Coach podcast, we're doin' it for the 'gram (the Enneagram, that is)! I'll go around the 'gram with you to talk about the three different coping styles of the nine Types: Externalizing, Repressing, and Internalizing. Understanding which is your default style is SO POWERFUL in parenting. Are you an internalizer, making everything a reflection on yourself (I'm the problem. I'm a bad mom)? Or maybe you repress your emotions, telling yourself everything's fine when deep down you know it's not. You could be an externalizer, convinced that the situations/people around you need to change for things to improve (My kid/my partner is the problem. They're driving me nuts!). Whatever your style is, I guarantee it's coloring your parenting, and there is so much we can do about it once we understand what's going on. Here's where coaching comes in, helping you gain that understanding, evolve away from your default, and bring a new level of consciousness to your parenting. Ready? It all starts with a Discovery Call where you get to share your story, and I get to offer you hope and a clear path to excellent parenting. I can't wait to meet you. https://calendly.com/annkaplan/discoverycall
