Frequently Asked Questions:
1. What exactly is “Life Coaching from the
Bridge?”
You are coached to plan, design and manifest a
life of your soul’s choosing, based on your unique strengths, values,
needs, wants, desires and concrete goals.
2. Do we “do”
psychotherapy in Life Coaching?
No. You have either completed a
meaningful psychotherapy or are presently in a Self-awareness program/therapy.
You will take your therapy needs to your therapist, and bring your hopes,
dream-manifestation and Self-nourishment planning to your coach.
For
example: A man I coached said, “I’ve worked ‘through’ the
issue of “dimming my life’s light”, and now I want to shine
brightly and boldly in the world. With his coach, he worked out general and
specific plans in every area of his life so that he could and would “shine
like the sun”.
He loved the support, encouragement, permission and
steady planning for “light shining,” creating the life of his dreams
in his profession and in his personal relationships.
He shaped a plan to
take his Lecture series to an international audience. He created Teleseminars
in his area of expertise, built a brand new internet business, and began to
“thrive” anew.
When he “dreamed” about historical
things that produced pain and angst, he took that material to his Therapist. He
“noted” that he was “moving through” conscious and
unconscious prohibitions; those were dealt with in Therapy, and simply
“reported” this to his coach.
Letting his Coach know about his
inner critic trying to sabotage his national lecturing tour, honored and
respected his inner process without letting it govern his present and future
dynamic plans.
In his Life Coaching from the Bridge, he moved forward
into action, managing his inner judge and critic while planning and
implementing “light shining” in every area of his life. It gave him
great Joy to “shine brightly” and serve!
3. Do I focus
mostly on what I want to create and design in my life in coaching, or do I
focus on my feelings?
Since you already know that your feelings
are important messengers from within, you will welcome them. It is assumed in
coaching that you can manage your feelings; we work with them differently in
coaching than we do in therapy. We will pay attention to what works, what
inspires you, and plan and implement steps YOU decide upon to manifest your
"delicious life."
In Life Coaching, we listen to the depths of you,
being keenly interested in what will nourish you. Coaching involves “being
and becoming more of who you are” as well as “doing more” with
your talents, gifts, strengths, new mindsets and increased
motivation.
4. Will I be primarily responsible for my progress and
process, or will you do that as my coach?
You are entirely
responsible for creating the life you wish to have. I am responsible for the
coaching process, “getting behind you” and your life design, with my
heart, soul, passion and knowledge…100%!
I will ask you many
questions about you, your goals, values, dreams, desires, your current reality
and the delicious life you are creating---more questions than you ever imagined
possible. You will start to discover your own answers and brilliance in the
process.
You get to use 100% of your “abilities to respond” to
everything you are learning and designing through your Coaching process so that
you will actually manifest your dreams.
5. Are we the “same
size,” or do you consider yourself the “expert ?"
You
are the expert on you! We are absolutely the same size. I wish to coach you
excellently; that’s my job. Your job is to be coached, (co-active
coaching) become more of who you are, take steps to” become and do,”
and actually manifest your values, dreams, goals and wishes---inside and
out!
We co-create our relationship, joining together for one purpose:
you moving forward, joyfully and meaningfully, creating a nourishing life you
of your design.
6. Do we have any fun in Life Coaching from the
Bridge?
Although we may laugh sometimes in therapy, we’re
usually pretty serious there. I’d like to have some fun and joyful times
with my Coach.
Coaching can be one of the most joyful, fun experiences
life has to offer. I hope you (and I) will have a marvelous time in our
experience together! I hope you have more fun and delight in your Life Coaching
and in manifesting your dreams than you ever imagined possible!
8.
Do my Coach and my Psychotherapist discuss me?
No. You will
decide if you want to share anything with your therapist about your coaching
planning and movement. If you wish to report you've mastered something in
therapy that will help you in your coaching, that is your choice.
9. When do we get started?

10.You keep mentioning “Joy”. It sounds
very appealing.
What’s that all about, and how do I create more Joy in
my life?
It is the foundation upon which the Life Coaching
Bridge is built! I imagine you’ll want to experience great joy and
fulfillment in your life as a result of your Life Coaching and “delicious
life” creation.
