Up to date case histories.

B. is feeling as if she has her control back and is able to keep organised and on top of the council work, as well as keeping her hobby of beadcrafts going for her own aesthetic pleasure and fulfillment.

She was organising her holiday and felt confident she would be able to go without feeling as if she still had lots to do.

D. has started writing her book and is making it easy on herself so she can enjoy it rather than feeling pressured. She is happier in herself. I suggested she saw the actual writing of the book as an adventure, and enjoyed the challenges to keep writing when she was feeling as if she could find other things to do. She has committed to writing 3 hours a week.

P. has worked with her anchor and swish tools to think what she wants to think rather than what her anger and indignation push her to think. She does manage to remove the negative thoughts, and is now able to calm her mind for meditation. She has managed a bit of meditation and is working on it.

She reads and her rewards are often books.

J. is exploring building a Reiki business to take over from her Child Minding business, which she finds tiring. She has space and is exploring possibilities of organisation and time available. She is also working on the wording of a flyer.

L. constantly puts herself down, telling herself she is a bad person because she thinks she is mean because, for instance, when she tips after a meal, she'll leave the standard tip, 10%....her husband will always leave more and believes in generosity at the expense of common sense - she thinks. She gets upset about this and tries to make him live by her rules of give and take, he refuses and this causes conflict. Because she wants to give less, she feels mean trying to make him give less. We have been through various explorations, for instance, she lived a week by his rules. Her challenge now is to get on with her own path, and focus on her positive traits.
We used the metaphor of a birthday party, where everyone who came put some money in a big bowl on the floor as a gift for the host whose birthday it was. If everyone was through a Ten pound note in, he would through a twenty in....whereas she would rather through in what she considers to be a fair amount, the same as everyone else £10. We discussed the fact that her rules being different to his doesn't meant that she is a bad person, she just has a strong sense of fairness and justice, liking to see balance between give and take.
She does not want to change him, so we have decided that, until her next coaching session, she will stick to focussing on her own path.
