ONLINE LIFE COACH FOR COUPLES & FAMILY-RELATED ISSUES
WHAT FAMILY-RELATED ISSUES WARRANT AN ONLINE LIFE COACH?
PARENT CHILD CONFLICT RESOLUTION
Kids today experience a world very different from when you grew up. Neuroscience has proven that even their brain development is different. Therefore, parenting like you were raised is often ineffective with this generation. I have spent a little over two decades learning and practicing hands-on application what works with adolescents and what doesn’t. I can help you and your child understand each other’s view point, communicate and develop meaningful connection.
BOUNDARY SETTING & DISCIPLINE
It’s common for parenting styles to differ because most of us were raised differently from one another. This often leads to conflict when it’s time to discuss rules and set boundaries for the children. We will do a deep dive into the why’s of your parenting style and then break down barriers, identify negotiables and eventually come to agreement on the boundaries that are best for your family. Through proper family life coaching, you will acquire useful tools and communication techniques that will lessen conflict and build connection.
BLENDED FAMILIES
They have children, you have children, there are exes, in-laws, and lots of “it wasn’t like this before” statements. Blending two families is messy and takes a great deal of understanding and adjustment. Step-parenting is a tough gig, often met with resistance.
Together we can work through the struggle and build a cohesive family unit.
GRIEF COACHING
Grief is a reaction to the loss of someone or something significant in your life. Most people associate the word grief with death however many life events can trigger a similar emotional response. Common feelings that surface are anger, sadness, guilt, and disbelief. Physical symptoms often accompany the emotions such as: headaches, lack of appetite, stomach pain, nausea and fatigue to name a few.
The tricky thing about understanding grief is it is different for everyone. We all handle loss in our own unique ways. In some cases going through the process can be compared to riding a rollercoaster blindfolded.
Through experience, education and training, I will help you navigate the ups, downs, twists and turns of your grief journey. It can be confusing, unpredictable and just plain hard. You don't have to face the journey alone.
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM THE COUPLES COACHING PROCESS?
Search the internet for understanding the differences between men and women and you will find a plethora of books with catchy titles.
If “Men are from Mars…” and “…Women are like spaghetti,” no wonder communication breaks down amongst men and women.
In all relationships, conflict arises no matter the gender. Relationships are always evolving; sometimes it’s smooth sailing and other times the waters are so rough you wonder if you’ll make it through. I provide a non-judgemental, objective space for you and your spouse or partner to express your individual needs, explore your “whys” and discover what works best for your distinct relationship.
Here are some common examples of challenges couples most endure in modern times. And all of these can benefit from online partner coaching.
RELATIONSHIP CHALLENGES
Partners often communicate, listen and problem solve differently which leads to misunderstanding and unnecessary conflict. Add family, personal, and work stress to the mix and couples find themselves in a never-ending tug-of-war game. You remember a time when everything clicked and now you find yourselves barely connecting let alone talking. Intimacy came naturally and now you barely touch. If any of these scenarios sound familiar, as your couples life coach, I can help.
CO-PARENTING
Maybe you divorced or split ways. If children are involved you have an undeniable tie to each other. They didn’t ask to be brought into the world and they didn’t choose your relationship decisions but they are the ones who lose if you don’t find a way to parent together. Parents can be the most influential humans in a child’s life especially if you (despite your feelings for one another) work together in raising them.
