Is this something both partners need to do in order to work?
No, you can do this whether or not the person you’ve been in relationship with is also doing this particular process. Conscious Uncoupling work happens on a personal level first.
Is this something I have to do without my partner?
The coaching process itself is arranged to be individual coaching. Ideally, you and your partner work through the process with different coaches, so you have space to be the main focus or “patient.” In the case of group coaching, I won’t coach people who are uncoupling in the same cohort.
Tell me more about group coaching.
I offer a small group process to make financial accessibility more realistic. In a group coaching cohort, personal coaching for each person may not happen each meeting, however through witnessing the shares and coaching of another person each time, through modeling and practice and space for questions, growth still happens quickly. Group coaching cohorts will not occur until I have four or five people willing to move through the process this way.
So, can I do this completely on my own?
You can read the book Conscious Uncoupling by Katherine Woodward Thomas and guide yourself through its wisdom without coaching if you choose. I use the book as the foundation in my coaching sessions, meaning that you as the client will read a chapter outside of the session and then during our sessions I will guide you in practices that benefit from witness and space, to address stuck points, and to alchemize your approach to the breakdown and your future life. Beliefs that lead to breakdown were formed in relationships in the past, thus it is most effective to deconstruct them and form new beliefs in a relational container as well.
What if my breakup happened a long time ago?
Time doesn’t always heal. Coaching can accelerate progress through stubborn patterns. If it’s still on your mind, let’s tackle it together.
Do I need to schedule all sessions at once?
If we have decided to move forward together, we will schedule the six sessions on that phone call or as soon as possible. I will help you create powerful intentions and changes in this consistent and finite container.
Do I need to pay for all sessions at once?
I offer a sliding scale in addition to pay-over-time options, because I don’t want my fees to create financial risk or instability for a client. There is only a slight discount offered for my individual coaching package but it is not meant as an incentive exactly, though it may be executive-function friendly for some people. It is subject to change.
