Sometimes you know exactly what you want to achieve, but you are frustrated because you are not moving forward fast enough, or at all.  The tendency is usually to blame ourselves  (I'm lazy, unmotivated, there's something wrong with me, etc.) or to blame time (I have too much to do, so I don't have time to focus on me).  Ninety percent of the time there's something deeper going on, and if you don't take a look at it, nothing will change.

Stress Reduction coaching is about getting to the source of your frustrations and making personal changes that last. 

Here are just a few examples:

• When you have too much on your plate, first you get tools to manage your workload, and then you learn to set boundaries so you aren't taking on what you don't want.
• When people drive you nuts, first you learn to manage annoying people, and then you learn how to get your needs met, so people stop driving you nuts. 
• When you work really hard but aren't achieving your goals, first we refine your action plan, and then we identify and remove the inner conflicts or fears that are holding you back.
• When you find yourself procrastinating or avoiding actions that will bring you what you think you want, first we get clear on your goals, and then we identify and eliminate beliefs that are holding you back.

How it Works

Notice that in each bullet above, there are two steps.  There are lots of training programs, self-help books, and coaches available to help you with step one.  But the first part of the solution is usually only the surface issue.  That is like pulling the top off the weeds in your garden, while the roots continue to thrive.

What's great about this type of coaching is that we work together to find the roots.  And once we've dug them out, the problem goes away for good - even if it's been repeating itself in your life for twenty or more years!
