   Episode 121 - The Psychic Split: How We Become Divided From Ourselves

   What if the person you've spent your life becoming is only part of who you are? From an early age, we learn who we're supposed to be, what earns approval, and which parts of ourselves are welcome (and which parts aren't)! Over time, we can lose touch with aspects of ourselves that don't fit the person we've learned to become. But the curious part? Those aspects of ourselves don't just disappear for good. They fall unconscious, yet continue to take on a (very private!) life of their own behind the scenes. In Psychodynamic Coaching, we call this phenomenon the 'Psychic Split'. In Episode 121, I explore exactly how this split develops, and why understanding it is a fundamental part of taking our clients deeper, and supporting them to achieve incredible results in their lives. Personally? You'll also discover how recognising these hidden dynamics within yourself can help you understand your patterns, reconnect with more of who you are, and begin to bring your unique qualities and potential more fully into your life and your coaching business too. ...

   Episode 120 - Why Coaching Has a Depth Problem

   We’re living through a moment of extraordinary acceleration in technology, work, culture, identity and everyday life. But as the outer world becomes faster and more complex, something else is happening: people are turning inward. They’re asking deeper questions about who they are, what is truly theirs, their purpose, and who they are becoming. In this episode, we explore why coaching is entering an important new phase and the shifts coaches and practitioners need to make to ensure they're ready to meet what's coming. You'll learn: :: Why conventional coaching can reach a strange ceiling when clients already *know* what they need to do :: Why the person we’re coaching isn't always the person they believe themselves to be :: How unconscious adaptations, persona and disowned parts of the self shape our lives :: Why Jung's concept of individuation changes the purpose of coaching :: Why people are increasingly seeking answers to questions of identity, meaning and purpose :: Why developing a specialised depth skillset can transform both your coaching practice and professional value Ultimately, this episode asks a bigger question: What becomes possible when we stop coaching only the person in front of us, and start learning to see the whole person? ...

   Episode 119 - When Your Authority Lives in the Shadow, It Comes Out Sideways

   When your authority sits in the shadow, it comes out sideways... You may know your stuff. You have experience. You have the results and the expertise. Yet why do so many women still feel strangely uncomfortable claiming authority? Why does it still feel a little taboo? In this episode, we explore what happens when authority, power, certainty, and influence haven't been fully integrated into your conscious identity. Specifically, we shine a light on how unclaimed authority sometimes slips out sideways through control, resentment, over-functioning, covert competition, difficulty selling, a fear of visibility, or constantly second-guessing yourself. We’ll look at why claiming authority can feel psychologically charged, particularly when you've learned that being powerful, ambitious or highly visible comes with a cost. The most exciting part? When you consciously inhabit your authority, your visibility, voice and leadership become more powerful, and your business has room to grow around the full weight of what you bring. ... If this conversation is stirring something for you, Shadow Medicine is where we’ll take the work deeper into the hidden dynamics shaping your visibility, voice, authority and self-expression. And next week, I’ll be dropping a free "Shadow of Visibility Masterclass", where we’ll explore what’s really happening beneath the surface when being seen in your business feels harder than it should.
