'I don't have anything to explore for today...'
When I start working with a new client I often invite them to show up even when they think there is nothing they need help with.
Here are some of the things we uncover when they do show up 'without a request':
- things that bother them but they learned to tolerate them (this week a client came 'without a request' and then we spent a session exploring her fear of a new boss, a fear that made her consider leaving the company)
- things they decided are impossible to change (I remember how early on in my coaching days one client said with a big sigh in a penultimate session: 'I wish I knew from the start that we could have worked on that?')
- where in their life they stifled their wants, needs, or ambitions
- apathy, lack of motivation, purposelessness
There is always something.
