The Intersection of Neuroscience and Psychosomatics: A Deeper Dive into Biopsychology

In the intricate tapestry of human health, psychosomatic illnesses represent a fascinating and complex domain where the mind and body converge. Thanks to the advances in neuroscience and the discipline of biopsychology, we're beginning to unravel the subtle yet profound ways in which our brains, emotions, and bodily organs communicate and influence each other. Biopsychology: Bridging Brain and Behavior Biopsychology, standing at the crossroads of biology and psychology, delves into the physiological bases of behavior. It’s here, in this nuanced field, that neuroscience contributes its cutting-edge discoveries, shedding light on the brain's inner workings.

Decoding and Transforming Psychosomatic Illnesses: A Creative Journey to Healing

In the intricate dance of brain, thoughts and body, psychosomatic illnesses embody the profound influence of our emotions and unconscious thoughts on our physical health. Unlocking the pathway to healing these conditions involves a deep dive into the realm of inherited emotional memories and the powerful imagery our minds conjure, often without our conscious awareness. The Initial Focus: Symptoms and Emotional Memory The journey begins by directing attention towards the symptom, not merely as a physical nuisance but as a gateway to uncovering layers of buried emotional memories. These memories, encoded in our DNA and residing within the recesses of our brain, hold the key to understanding the true origins of our distress. Unraveling the Metaphorical Language of the Unconscious As we connect with these ancestral emotional imprints, a fascinating process unfolds. Images associated with the symptom emerge, revealing themselves […]

Future Trends also in Coaching: A Disruptive Perspective

Let's make this list short and sweet with thought provoking reflections. These trends in human needs and behaviour do and will greatly influence the Coaching Industry. People need help and support, now more than ever. "Their worst enemy is themselves." Negative self talk, addictions and overall "unbeneficial brain wiring"... The question becomes if Coaches are equipped with tools to catalyse the positive change people need? 1. The Quest for Quick Fixes In a world that celebrates instant gratification, the allure of quick fixes is undeniable. The Coaching Industry faces a paradox: while coaching serves as a crucial preventative measure, individuals often seek it out only when in dire need, expecting immediate solutions. This trend underscores a vital truth - real change demands time and commitment. The challenge for coaches is to communicate the value of sustained effort and gradual transformation […]

The 6 Tough Truths of the Coaching Industry

Here is the list of what I see are the 6 toughest truths of the Coaching Industry. They are not necessarily in the order of importance for their "negative" impact on the Industry. While reading these, please consider them as the "pink elephants" in the room. Clients outside of the Industry "see them" and have their doubts, concerns and questions. But Coaches unfortunately don't see them. Therefore, the communication between potential clients (even friends and family) and Coaches might be strained. With these tough truths, no amount of persuasion or convincing calms a potential client. These are not necessarily "your issues" as a Coach. They are "Industry issues". When reading these, with an open mind, remember that people outside of the Coaching Industry might be hesitant to hire a Coach exactly for the 6 truths stated below. ONE: Certification Issues […]

The 3 Precious Things to Give Yourself

Hey there! So, let's dive into something that's been on my mind, and maybe yours too. When you think about giving yourself something special, where does your mind wander? Maybe to giving yourself a little break, some much-needed "me time," or a dollop of tender loving care? Or does it zip straight to retail therapy – splurging on that shiny new gadget or planning an exotic getaway because, hey, you earned it? Now, rewarding yourself is great and all, but what if I told you there's more to life than the latest iPhone or another stamp on your passport? Don't get me wrong, a dash of adventure and tech can spice up life, but there are three essential gifts you should be giving yourself that don't come with a price tag. Imagine for a sec you're thinking about the best […]

Stop Working on Areas of Life

Imagine navigating life as if you were at a party, surrounded by a collection of balloons. Each balloon represents a different area of your life – work, relationships, health, and so on. Some balloons are vibrant and full, floating high with satisfaction, while others might be less inflated, hovering lower, reflecting areas of our lives that don't feel as fulfilling. Let's focus on the work balloon for a moment. Suppose it's only 50% inflated because you're only halfway satisfied with your job. It's natural to think that directly addressing your work-related issues – perhaps by seeking promotions, changing roles, or even companies – would fill up this balloon, making it rise higher. But here's the catch: attempting to inflate this work balloon directly is akin to blowing air into it with small, exhausting breaths. You're looking for tricks and shortcuts […]
