COACHING FAQS
What is a typical Clearbright Coaching session like?
Discovery: Our initial meeting is a 90-minute exploration to understand which areas of your life are most challenging, where your inner resources are strong, and where you'd like to grow the most.
This helps us decide on a focal point for the first phase of our work.
After the initial intake and exploration, regular sessions are 60 minutes.
Sessions include:
Guided self-reflection using the Nine Petals Model
Archetypal parts work to heal relationship traumas
Emotional wisdom practices
Body-based trauma resolution work
Nervous system regulation practices
Guided Clearbright Meditation
Transformation of destructive beliefs into fresh and creative ways of understanding yourself and life
Transformation of self-defeating habits into cohesive self-respecting actions
Strategies for the realization of your deeper desires
And much more . . .
What principles do you apply in your sessions?
Radical Honesty: Our first step together is to face what's real in all Nine Petals of your life.
Radical Vulnerability: I invite you courageously embrace all aspects of your being and share your true self. I will meet you here.
Radical Accountability: Radiant health and happiness are inside jobs. There are no saviors or silver bullets. Please read that again. I serve as your guide, mentor, and spiritual friend. I will guide and support you all the way. The steps are yours to take.
Kindness: My role is to help you heal and grow. For this, kindness (the Heart) is the medicine I use.
Clarity: My role is to help you cut through habits and beliefs that are self-defeating. For this, wisdom (the Sword) is the tool I use.
Interbeing: All aspects of life are interdependent and of equal importance. Suffering in one Petal affects all other Petals. Brightness in any Petal uplifts all others. Our work together will illuminate and integrate all aspects of your life.
Inherent Wholeness: I see you as innately complete, never flawed or in need of fixing. My role is to hold this vision of you until you recognize it for yourself.
Equality: Regardless of age, gender, sexual preference, education, or experience, I treat all my clients with equal care and respect.
Enjoyment: I love what I do. I always bring a sense of sincerity, humor, creativity, and playfulness to my sessions. I invite you to dive deep, do the real work, and enjoy the process!
How often do you recommend we meet?
Weekly or bi-monthly sessions produce the best results.
Continuity and accountability are essential to getting traction and making real change.
I suggest that we start by meeting once a week and adjust as needed.
Most of my clients accomplish their best inner work and positive transformation by focusing on key areas (Petals) for 10 or 15 sessions. Positive and permanent change takes time, effort, and commitment.
