Embracing Self-Change in Coaching: Overcoming the Fear of Loss
Change is terrifying because it feels like losing a part of ourselves. You must understand this resistance when coaching people.
It’s not just about changing habits but partially or completely changing your person.
Clients fear the loss of their familiar selves, even if it’s holding them back.
Your role is to guide them through this fear, showing that growth often requires shedding outdated versions of themselves.
Help them see change as an evolution rather than a loss.
Transformation isn’t losing yourself; it’s finding a new part of who you are.
