[cont] My Health Coaching Client Who Is Also My Friend Is Having A Hard Time With Communicating His Needs To His Family

Dear coach,

I did a thought download and also got coached recently and realized that I was actually annoyed with myself, and where I was right now. I realized after the Autumn workshop that I was not ready for winter because in the town I’m based in I don’t really have friends. and I was not happy with my flat situation with my lazy-ass flatmates. I have taken massive action to move to a new place, re-did my finances, talked to my boyfriend about something that was bothering me, and finally rented myself my first ever 1 bedroom-apartment and now I realize that I was angry at where I was in life so was projecting to my client moving slower than I would like him to.

Now I realize this is one of my challenges as a growth enthusiast because I want to move fast but things take the time they need to. I’m not happy with how I showed up in the last couple of months because I was literally torturing myself with how much unhappier I was making myself with my current situation, but I forgive myself and I will keep the space for my client to be wherever he is right now, accept him and give him the tools to move forward.

Thanks for the chance to reflect dear coach.

Answer:

What a wonderful realization. So interesting what crops up when we are able to inspect ourselves and notice where our sticking points are rooted. Congratulations on taking massive action, on recognizing situations that weren’t serving you, and for how your vision of yourself was impacting your coaching and for forgiving yourself for it. Continue to hold space for yourself to be human – you’re exactly where you’re meant to be as well.
