Burnout Coaching

Why do I call this coaching methodology SINGULARITY.

I resonate with two meanings of the word “singularity”.

The first one is somehow related to its meaning in mathematics and physics as an unexpected event which occurrence could not be foreseen and not to be repeated plus an event in which rules, methods and mathematical expectations collapse.

The second meaning is about the actual root of the word as being “singular” or special, unique and not to be repeated or somehow copied.

This is what my clients and I look for and co-create during my coaching sessions. We both participate in a client-led approach to discover the uniqueness, the specialness of the client.

The process of discovery occurs with gentle but solid invitations for the client to slow down and arrive at the present moment rich in stillness and silence. These two dimensions of the now allow both of us to make contact with inner realities which have been put aside or have been hidden because of the natural tendency to conform and to belong.

With this process-based discovery takes place also the creation of a path for self-actualisation in which the client’s uniqueness blossoms and comes to shine.

In a following post I will explore how our singularity can be reconciled with the human longing for togetherness, for acceptance and for conformity.

Thanks and honour your singularity.

Singularity Coaching is Focusing informed in the sense that I use Focusing as a gentle approach and as soft invitation to explore the client’s emotional landscape.

Focusing is a different, further step. Beyond contacting feelings there is a different inward “place”. A holistic body sense, at first unclear, can form. It is a sense of the whole meaning of a particular concern. It is from this place that a series of inward shifts, a road of many steps, can arise. An inward texture of details reveals itself and changes.

THE WISDOM OF FOCUSING

THE BODY AS A TOOL FOR INNER KNOWLEDGE AND SELF-DISCOVERY

If you find it painful to be honest, realise that other people don’t care how good or wise or beautiful you are. Only you care all that much. It is not harmful to the other person if you look stupid or imperfect. What is true is already so. Owning up to it doesn’t make it worse. Not being open about it doesn’t make it go away. And because it’s true, it is what is there to be interacted with. Anything untrue isn’t there to be lived. People can stand what is true, for they are already enduring it.
