On this episode of The Masterful Coach, Molly Claire shares a discussion she recently had with Leah Davidson on Leah’s podcast, Building Resilience. Today, they will explore how thoughtwork can sometimes lead to self-blame and over-functioning within relationships, the dangers of dismissing genuine issues under the guise of mindset shifting, and the importance of processing emotions rather than suppressing them. Leah will also share insights on the relationship between our thoughts, our nervous system, and our overall emotional health.
So, whether you're a life coach looking to refine your practice or simply curious about the thought patterns that shape our lives, this episode will provide valuable perspectives and practical advice. Tune in as we unravel the complexities of thoughtwork and learn how to apply it wisely and compassionately in both our lives and our coaching practices.
