It is only with the heart that one can see rightly. What is essential is invisible to the eye. — The Little Prince, Antoine De Saint-Exupery
Caregiving and the Coach
Have you ever heard or read about a coach talking about a player and saying the player has to “get her head into the game or his emotions under control?”
Whatever is triggering the player, they’re experiencing some fear, anxiety, or anger, and they no longer see themselves or the situation in front of them clearly.
The coach acts as a mirror to calm them down and bring them back to what has made them successful. The coach brings them back to themselves. And when that happens, they perform better.
They catch better, hit better, tackle better, serve better, kick better, and shoot better. Their minds, bodies, and emotions are in harmony.
And that is what we’ll do in a Caregivers Journey workshop as a group. We’ll address what is getting in the way of being the caregiver you want to be.
If you’re a caregiver having difficulty in this role, feeling alone, frustrated and tired with no peers to share your experiences, on a rollercoaster ride of doctor calls and appointments, bouncing between good news and bad news, having more questions than answers, suffering as you’ve seen others suffer, having tried what everyone has said to try but to no avail, then you may be ready for a fundamentally different approach.
