Back in episode 30 we spoke about using Transactional Analysis (TA) in the coaching room, and in episode 31 we explored one of the TA models, the Parent-Adult-Child model.

Another coaching model that originates from TA is Karpman’s Drama Triangle, so we thought it was time we introduced this model to you as well.

The Drama Triangle offers another way to explore the coachee’s perception of their inter-personal relationship dynamics and behaviour patterns. It is an extremely useful model to be aware of as a coach, and to introduce to your coachee to help raise awareness about their view of their situation.

It is useful to demonstrate some caution when using the model in the coaching room, but it is a great way of helping the coachee gain a new perspective on the roles they’re playing in their relationships.

In this episode we explore the Drama Triangle and how we might use it to its full advantage in the coaching room.

Our bodies provide the perfect vessel in which to hold our stress and we will feel all sorts of indications that this is happening for us when we’re in struggle. But our bodies also offer us some insights into what else is going on for us. Somatic markers provide us with information that we will often ignore when it would be wise to be mindful of them. While we might not choose to act on a gut feeling, noticing what we notice about our physiological sensations can become an important part of our decision making process, and can be so too for our coachees.

In this episode we take a look at somatic coaching, or embodied coaching, in which coachees are encouraged to go within, to the wisdom held in their own body.

Somatic coaching can be practised on its own, or as part of an integrative approach, to great effect.

Listen in to this episode of the Your Coaching Journey podcast for some ideas on how you could use somatic coaching with your coachees and how that might improve their outcomes for them.

What is coaching supervision and why would I want to engage with it as a coach?

Coaching is an unregulated industry and, as we have discussed on previous episodes, it is down to coaching bodies and individual coaches to take responsibility for the professionalism and self-regulation of coaching as a whole.

Coaching supervision is one way of helping you as a coach to reflect on the quality of your coaching, your own professional development and your progress in the world of coaching. Coaching supervision is a protected space for confidential and supportive conversations about your role as a coach and your interactions with coachees.

Join us in this episode to find out more about supervision, why you might want to engage with it, and what the practice of receiving supervision entails.
