Jason’s Story
From shock to empowerment – Jason uses professional coaching to take charge of his life.
After 12 years of marriage, where everything had always seemed to be fine to Jason, he had been taken totally off-guard when Cathy told him she wanted a divorce.
Jason was referred to me by his divorce lawyer, who realised that Jason was going through an emotional roller coaster, and in Jason’s eyes there was no hope of a safe landing. His lawyer had repeatedly seen the benefits of clients like Jason working through their emotional and mental issues with a professional coach, side-by-side the divorce proceedings. On many occasions the coaching process had smoothed the way and made the process more solution and outcome focused.
Jason was plagued by thoughts of lack of self-esteem and fear of being alone. There had been no animosity between him and Cathy during their marriage and he could not understand what had instigated this desire within her to leave him. Cathy on the other hand, was absolutely clear in her own mind about what she wanted to do and the changes she now wished to implement in her life. In the same way, Jason needed guidance and encouragement to begin his own conscious search for direction and to re-define what he wanted for himself.
In the first few sessions Jason struggled to come to terms with the reality he was facing and the choices he now had. His internal dialogue and beliefs revolved around “What is wrong with me?” “I’m not good enough.” “I’ll never love again.”
With gentle persistence and powerful questioning, Jason began to shift his thinking and as his old beliefs became unfounded, more choices became apparent to him. This led him to focus on a resolution for the present situation he was facing. However painful an experience it was for Jason to go through, the coaching element gave him inner strength and independence. By empowering him through this process, Jason was able to get through the divorce more smoothly and to take charge of his life and make clear and focused decisions moving forward.
