Helping Your Clients (& Yourself) Work through Fear

Joannaig Square@2x

Knowing how to support your clients to move through their fear is a game changer if you are a coach, therapist or transformational practitioner.

 

That’s because fear can often stand in the way of your clients taking action towards and achieving the goals they’ve hired you for. And, when fear rears its head, if not navigated with skill, it can bring your work with your client to a standstill.

 

Most practitioners try to help clients talk through the fear or to “release” the fear, but neither of these strategies work. Instead, what’s required is a process to Befriend the Fear, and to do so in ways that move beyond just the cognitive level of learning & processing.

 

In this inaugural episode, we dive deep into the human behavior behind fear and some of the most important principles that coaches and practitioners need to know in order to help your clients co-exist in regulated and empowering ways with fear.

 

Once you learn how to better work with fear, that’s when you become poised to co-create even better results with your clients.

 

As always, through everything you learn about fear in this episode, you will learn a lot about yourself and ways that you can make better friends with fear in your own life.

 

Some of the topics we cover:

==The ways that fear can show up in your client sessions

==What happens when we pathologize fear

==Where fear comes from

==The benefits of helping clients distinguish between present and past resources

==The principle of risk when fear gets activated

==Discomfort versus pain and how this can help you work with fear

==Why releasing fears isn’t viable or safe, and what to do instead
