Drawing on Bowen Family Systems theory, they explore how coaches can maintain presence, set boundaries, and resist over-functioning in sessions. They reflect on:

• The difference between mind reading and mind knowing
• What it means to embody self-differentiation
• Three anxiety-driven behaviors coaches fall into: accommodating, acting out, and avoiding
