We hope this finds you well, with the day moving sweetly and treating you tenderly.
Are you (like us...) an emotional support connoisseur?
What kinds of emotional support do you like?
❑ Chit chat
❑ Therapy
❑ Life coaching
❑ Energy work
❑ Counseling
❑ NeuroEmotional Coaching
❑ Other
❑ All of the above!
We're all different, and no matter what our preference may be for how we get emotional support, the most important thing is that we get some! Humans aren't meant to do the work of humaning without it.
We're proponents of every kind of support that serves!
Along these lines, we often get asked...
How does NeuroEmotional Coaching differ from therapy or life coaching?
It's a great question!
NeuroEmotional Coaching vs Therapy
Though NeuroEmotional Coaches practice deep listening, and emotional exploration, like a good therapist does, we never tell a client what they should do with their life.
Instead we help clients regularly get into a brain state where they know what they should do with their life.
NeuroEmotional Coaching vs Life coaching
Though NeuroEmotional Coaches will look toward the future with clients and help them act according to their life vision, we will never do that instead of, or before, helping clients process the feelings that stand in the way of that vision.
Our NeuroEmotional Coaching modality bridges the gap between traditional therapy and life coaching, integrating the latest neuroscience, deep emotional co-processing, and comprehensive nervous system reprogramming to support profound, sustainable change.
(If you want to nerd out further on this topic [like us!], here are some more details. If not, feel free to skip this section!)
Focus on Emotional Processing and Brain Rewiring
Our modality is designed to help clients identify and shift deep-rooted emotional patterns at a neurological level. Unlike traditional therapy, which often focuses primarily on processing past trauma, NeuroEmotional Coaching employs methods to rewire the brain's responses. The goal is to create new synaptic pathways that support healthier emotional outcomes.Integrative Approach to the Nervous System
Especially relevant for clients who struggle with chronic overwhelm, anxiety, or depression – NeuroEmotional Coaching goes beyond the cognitive focus of life-coaching by acknowledging and working directly with the body's nervous system responses. Among other approaches, techniques involve somatic work, which helps clients recognize and recalibrate their nervous system responses to activating stimuli, fostering greater resilience and emotional stability in real time.Tools for Immediate, Practical Application
NeuroEmotional Coaching equips clients with tools designed for quick integration into daily life. While therapy can sometimes remain abstract and life-coaching can be overly goal-centric, our modality teaches actionable strategies, allowing clients to work with and regulate their emotions on the go. This includes tools that work with Survival, Emotional, and Executive Brain states, helping clients to consciously respond rather than primally react.Goal-Oriented, Yet Healing-Focused
While NeuroEmotional Coaching, like life coaching, is forward-driven and goal-oriented, it doesn't overlook the healing and integrative aspects often emphasized in therapy. Our modality supports clients to address and mend emotional wounds that block them from reaching their goals, balancing self-awareness, personal growth, and actionable outcomes.Client Agency and Self-Regulation
NeuroEmotional Coaching emphasizes client agency by training them in techniques that promote their own emotional regulation and adaptive interdependence, blending the reflective nature of therapy with the proactive structure of coaching. This empowers clients to not just process emotions in healthy ways, but to also actively reshape how they experience and manage them. Our modality is also designed to support clients to consciously and consistently activate their own Executive Brain state, so they are clear, focused, and able to act in full alignment with who they authentically are.
If these distinctions pique your interest, and NeuroEmotional Coaching has caught your eye, there's two options from here!
1. Schedule a complimentary "Feel Better Already" session to explore what this modality can do for you.
2. Get trained to be a NeuroEmotional Coach! The world needs skilled practitioners like you.
And in any case,
Whether you get your emotional support needs met by a coffee date with a friend, or regular sessions with a practitioner, we are cheering for you!
Tender hearts need tender care, and we want everyone to get that.
Big love to you,
Natalie and Nathan
