I can not believe my sessions with Client A are over! There’s a sense of loss, but also of pride and accomplishment. I mean, unless she was blowing smoke up my arse when she filled out my evaluation, she has grown so much - the sessions really meant something to her! And even though there wasn’t an earth shattering moment in each session that I could see, she said that she left every session motivated and excited to start on her challenge, even when it was something that was scary to her.

I start with my client on Saturday, and I’m really going to focus on two things:

* mirroring what she’s saying to make sure it’s clear to both of us

* asking if she wants advice before giving it

Those are my two weak points right now. But I also know my strong points! I definitely have the ability to motivate and encourage, and to empower the client with a sense of self-worth. I love that that was one of the main things that Client A got from our sessions - realization that she was selling herself short and she has the skills, the personality, and the drive to make things happen in her life! I was thinking of having a niche for those that have low self-esteem, but do those that have low self-esteem know it? Can they recognize it and seek help for it? I’m not too sure of that.

I’m grateful today for my life. Is that too broad? I’m grateful for my job, my family, my friends, my pre-husband, my coaching…….I just have that spine-shivering moment where everything just seems like it’s in the right place.
