Our somatic experience – what happens in our bodies – is as important to forming the observers we are as are our thoughts and emotions. In coaching, attending to “the body”, our client’s and our own, is a powerful avenue for discovery, learning and growth. Our clients’ thoughts and emotions are held in, shaped by and expressed through their bodies, which have their own wordless wisdom. Coaching to the client’s somatic experience can accelerate their ability to find liberating new perspectives and make meaningful changes in their lives. In this session we will explore the links between body, thought, and emotion, how to bring the client’s attention to their somatic experience in useful ways, how to support them in learning through the body, and how to use our own body experience effectively in our coaching.
