Emotion Coaching (an American practice started by Dr John Gottman in the 1970s) was originally aimed at children to help them – through their parents/caretakers – recognise their #emotions, use them as an #opportunity to teach them how to #work through them in a validating way, and help them find ways of problem solving their emotions and deal with emotional situations.
Emotion Coaching in adults is something I’m extremely passionate about, as it helps us understand how and why we have the emotions we have, and how they came to be (likely, because our own parents weren’t aware of how to deal with their own emotions when we were young – where was Gottman through our childhood?! 😅)
My approach is based on the belief that everything we do – or don’t do – is anchored in our emotions. Maybe there’s a part of you that really wants to do something, but there’s something else holding you back, “sabotaging” your most earnest endeavours, or simply stopping you from taking any action at all.
Emotion #Coaching is what will help you overcome these subconscious patterns that are working “against” your conscious self.
