Persistence, Resistance & Setbacks
When clients face resistance or setbacks:
Break down goals: I help clients break larger goals into smaller, manageable steps.
Shift the mindset: I work on reframing clients' perceptions and beliefs, helping them see challenges as opportunities for growth.
Build self-awareness: I use techniques like journaling prompts and meditation to increase clients' self-understanding and emotional intelligence.
Develop coping strategies: I teach clients stress management and emotional regulation techniques to help them navigate the challenges that come with change.
Set accountability measures: I establish clear action plans and check-ins to keep clients accountable and motivated.
Address fears: I help clients identify and work through fears or limiting beliefs that may be holding them back.
Celebrate small wins: I encourage clients to acknowledge and celebrate small progress to maintain motivation.
Be flexible in the approach: I adjust your coaching style and pace based on the client's evolving needs and readiness.
Use self-coaching tools: I equip clients with techniques they can use independently to sustain change long-term.
Use a holistic perspective: I address physical, emotional, and mental aspects of change, often incorporating yoga and other wellness practices.
When clients face setbacks:
Normalize the experience: I help clients understand that setbacks are a normal part of the change process.
Analyze the setback: I work with clients to understand what led to the setback and what can be learned from it.
Adjust the plan: I collaborate with clients to modify their action plans based on new insights gained from setbacks.
Reinforce commitment: I help clients reconnect with their motivations for change and reinforce their commitment to their goals.
Provide additional support: I offer extra hourly support, referrals, and resources during challenging times to address obstacles.
By carefully assessing readiness and employing these supportive strategies, I help clients navigate complex changes in their relationships and careers, ensuring they feel supported and empowered throughout the process, even when facing resistance or setbacks.
