SUCCESSES - Using Life Coaching to gain confidence in decision making

Suzanne could not decide which of two relationships to pursue. She needed life coaching to gain confidence and clarity in her decision making.

SITUATION

Suzanne was torn between two relationships and needed help with decision making. She had been involved with John for a year when he suddenly broke off the relationship. Suzanne was shocked and devastated. The relationship with John had seemed ideal to her and she had planned on spending the rest of her life with him.

Suzanne had recovered from this disappointment and had been dating Michael for six months when John reappeared. John insisted that he had come to recognize how much he loved and needed Suzanne and that he was ready to make a life-long commitment.

Suzanne was thrown into confusion. The relationship with Michael was comfortable, though it lacked the closeness and intensity of her relationship with John. She cared about Michael and did not want to hurt him the way she had been hurt by John. Meanwhile, John was pressuring Suzanne to take him back. Suzanne sought life coaching to help with her decision making.

LIFE COACHING APPROACH

Intuition Coaching was the life coaching approach we used to help Suzanne with her decision making. Through Intuition Coaching Suzanne was able to receive guidance from her inner wisdom.

When we asked her inner wisdom what it wanted her to know, she heard the question, "What is in your heart?" Suzanne was uncertain, so we asked her heart to reveal what was there. Suzanne saw many precious moments she had enjoyed with both John and Michael. She was able to recognize her caring for both men. She also saw the image of a little dog wagging its tail. When asked which it liked better, the dog went over to John and licked his face.

Her inner wisdom then told Suzanne that she needed more information before she could make a choice. It pointed out that John’s ability to respect her need for more time was an important indicator of whether he could ultimately be a good partner for her. Suzanne’s inner wisdom assured her that she could take all the time she needed to achieve certainty in her decision making.

RESULTS

Intuition Coaching gave Suzanne the confidence to make an important life decision.

• Suzanne felt relieved of the pressure of needing to make an immediate decision which John's urgency had created.
• Suzanne felt grateful to have discovered a resource to support her decision making. She felt confident that she would trust her judgment once she finally knew which relationship to choose.

In the weeks that followed, Suzanne continued to consult with her inner wisdom. By the time she decided to pursue the relationship with John, Suzanne felt confident that the choice she made was the right one.
