Description

This book is a comprehensive guide for life coaches on how to react and adapt when emotional problems get in the way of coaching. Windy Dryden uses Rational-Emotive Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (RECBT) techniques to offer advice on:

  • when it is and is not appropriate to work on emotional problems
  • when the coach should refer the client to someone else, such as a psychotherapist or counsellor
  • how to use RECBT to help clients with their emotional problems within a life coaching context
  • at what point it is sensible to begin coaching again.

Dealing with Clients' Emotional Problems in Life Coaching will be a valuable resource for all those involved in life coaching.
