110. The Emotional Pendulum

As a coach, one of the biggest challenges is helping your clients
manage their emotions effectively.


Just like a pendulum, emotions can swing back and forth, and
finding the right balance between allowing and shifting is key to
helping our clients thrive.


When someone allows an emotion, they are essentially allowing the
pendulum to swing in one direction. They are fully experiencing
the emotion and allowing it to be present in their awareness
without trying to change or suppress it.


On the other hand, when someone tries to shift an emotion, they
are attempting to pull the pendulum back in the opposite
direction. They may be trying to distract themselves or change
their emotional state in some way.


As coaches, it's our job to help our clients find the sweet spot
where they can acknowledge and experience their emotions without
getting stuck at one extreme or the other.


In this episode, we'll cover:


Understanding the difference between allowing and shifting
emotions

The benefits and risks of both approaches

How to recognize when a client is trying to avoid their
emotions

Coaching questions and techniques to encourage clients to
connect to their emotions

Strategies to help clients shift painful emotions in a
healthy way



By the end of this episode, you'll have a deeper understanding of
how to help your clients manage their emotions more effectively.


Knowing when to allow emotion and when to shift it is a critical
skill that can make all the difference in your coaching sessions.
