Coaching

When a baby is born with medical needs, the time that follows is nothing like you’ve ever prepared for. Parents have often described this time as a rollercoaster, a rollercoaster of medical intervention, but also of emotions. It does not only affect the parents, but also the grandparents, the siblings, the wider family, and even the health and support professionals involved. At Eaglevision Coaching and Training we recognise that everyone in the village is important, and every person has an important role to play in the support system, but everything has changed and you can feel lost, or overwhelmed, and unsure how to be the right person at the right time. Perhaps you are dealing with your own feelings of grief and loss, while at the same time seeing your loved one going through such a difficult time.

 

There’s nothing like stressful times to bring out the worst in yourself, AND there is also the potential to bring out the best. We believe that every person has the resources to face what life throws at them, I know, you probably don’t feel like it right now, because sometimes ‘stuff’ gets in the way of accessing those resources. At Eaglevision Coaching and Training we use the modality of mBIT coaching to help you uncover those resources. 

 

What is mBIT coaching and how does it work?

You’re probably familiar with expressions such as: “I’m trusting my gut on this one,” “My heart’s not in it,” or “I’m too much in my head at the moment.” Science is showing that there is much more truth in those expressions than we’ve ever thought. Several scientific sources tell us that the gut is lined with an excess of 100 million neural cells, sending more messages to the brain, than the brain sends to the gut. The same can be said about the heart, the heart’s nervous system is so complex that it is able to act independently of the cranial brain to learn, remember, make decisions, and even feel and sense. So you could say that next to our head-brain, we also have a heart-brain and a gut-brain. And talking about feelings, we find that generally matters of the heart are centered around relationships and trust, while matters of the gut are much to do with identity and movement, and our head-brain is the place where we make meaning of what we experience. These are just a few examples ofcourse, but from here it is not difficult to understand that, depending on our experience, we sometimes have a block that hinders communication between the different brains, It can cause us to get stuck, can stop us from making decisions, and make it difficult for us to access our inner resources to help us deal with difficult stuff. The techniques of mBIT coaching are designed to re-integrate the different brains and get them talking again, so to speak. Once the channels of communication are open, you will discover that you have a lot more wisdom, strength, and resilience than you thought.

 

These coaching sessions are for you, whether you are the parent or caregiver of the baby, a family member, a friend, or someone in a professional role involved with the family. 

Next to the techniques of mBIT coaching, we can take the time to explore roles, and communication strategies, re-visioning the future,  and coming to grips with changing dynamics. We are here to hold a space for you so you can re-gather yourself.
