In a nutshell, counseling/coaching work can be framed as helping folks to integrate their “feeling mind” with their “thinking mind” by centering in the “observing mind” space.
Some folks are great with the “feeling mind”, okay with the “thinking mind” but terrible with the observing mind.
Some are great with the “thinking mind”, okay with the “feeling mind”, but terrible with the “observing mind”.
Some are great with the “observing mind” but not so great with the “feeling mind” or “thinking mind”.
There is usually a “blindspot” or “Achilles’ heel” in all of us isn’t there? It would be helpful to reflect on those.
Once we have clarity around those, we can have high expectation for our strengths but have more realistic expectation for our blindspots.
Be careful to not judge ourselves too harshly on our “blindspots” as these may lead to unhealthy self worth or shame.
