3 Ways Somatic Coaching Is Different From Traditional Coaching Approaches
Somatic approaches are increasingly talked about, yet they can feel obscure or hard to distinguish from more traditional or cognitive ways of coaching.
In this blog post, we look at how somatic coaching might differ from more traditional approaches, and explore 3 ways in which somatic coaching can help facilitate deep transformation.
The Power of Alignment: Living and Leading with Coherence
Most of the women I support are more intelligent, creative, resourceful and brave than they often know. They have built businesses, raised families, held space for others, and navigated challenges with incredible resilience.
Many find me when they arrive at a point in their life where they feel a sense of weariness that goes beyond physical tiredness. Perhaps it could best be described as 'experiential' weariness.
They are exhausted from trying to fit into external frameworks that often don’t reflect what matters most to them, and leave them with a sense that something significant is missing.
They are tired of overriding the ever growing discomfort of living a life that might look good on paper, but might not feel fulfilling on the inside.
They are experiencing misalignment - a growing dissonance between their inner and outer worlds.
And something within them is pulling them towards more alignment (although they wouldn’t articulate it in this way).
What they are seeking - often without knowing - is a place where their values, body, nervous system, beliefs, and behaviours are in harmonious relationship with one another instead of each pulling in a different direction.
Leading in Times of Chaos: The Leadership We Need Now
Over the past couple of weeks I have been fortunate enough to attend a weekly group circle dedicated to exploring how to navigate times of chaos and polycrisis - it has been illuminating, tender and perspective shifting.
Simply being with others asking themselves similar questions, sharing our respective experiences and coming together to forge a path forward that feels true to each of us and the whole has been a gift.
It has crystalised even more deeply for me the need for us to come together, to co-create a path forward, to focus on our communities and the places where we can make a difference.
