Life Coach In Sheffield
When I take on a new client, the first 2-3 sessions, I ask 100’s of questions in free association, where I encourage the client to talk freely about their past experiences.
The subconscious mind has a record of everything that we’ve done since birth, and both positive and negative. These memories and emotions increase overtime the negative memories such as blaming yourself for the breakdown of a previous relationship can be continued into future relationships fearing that it could happen again.
Or one’s fear of redundancy, where you continually focus on the anxiety and stress that you experienced when you lost your job and although in your current role, you have an excellent salary and great career prospects you can’t help fearing that this could all go up in smoke due to past experiences.
Life coaching is about allowing clients that safe space so that they can understand that we all at some point in the past have made mistakes, we’ve neglected our health, taken friends, family and loved ones for granted.
Do you think that if there was a lesson at school or a book that we read which taught us all how to lead a perfect life that we would all live in harmony and we would have no worries or concerns about the future?
Wishful thinking perhaps, for most of us and trust me, it’s not easy to let go of the past unless you have an epiphany or work with an expert.
Many try to go it alone, and use will power, but unless you are determined and possess a strong mental focus, this is not easy.
The benefits of choosing a Life Coach or a similar expert imply that you will gain quicker long-lasting results to the challenges that you have faced over a lifetime.
So whether you’ve suffered from drug or alcohol addiction, gambled your family’s life savings, the misfortune of a bankruptcy, enduring 10 years of constant chronic lower back pain whilst taking a cocktail of prescribed drugs to manage the pain, or you were living in a loveless marriage for ten years or more and think that you will never find true love in the future.
Accept the fact that you cannot change your past, but you certainly can choose to react differently to it. Remember by constantly replaying negative events about the past in your mind continues your inability to make changes in the future.
Life Coaching, combined with Integrative Therapy, can remove the old limiting beliefs that are preventing you from living the life that you dream and desire.
Your past, no matter how regretful it was, does not define your future. The decisions and actions you make today will ultimately determine who you will eventually become.
Decide to invest in a Life Coach who will help you to learn from your past and apply it to the present so that you can live the life that you were meant to live.
