DOES COACHING OR
HOLISTIC COUNSELING BY PHONE REALLY WORK? (
(paragraph continued)
“. .
. you’re sounding really excited about something today,
Suzy, . . . is
there something special going on?”
If a person is speaking more slowly than usual, with a lowered, low energy, quieter voice, he, or she may be sad, tired, or depressed. That person could be visualized as slouched, eyes looking down, with disheveled clothing and possibly neglected grooming.
On the other hand, the person may simply be in a contemplative mood. That
is why
we share our perceptions with the client so we can keep that channel of
communication fully open. Listening for word choices can also provide us with streamlined knowledge for creating better communication and rapport. People initially process information through their visual (what they see), auditory (what they hear), and kinesthetic (what they are feeling/touching/tasting/smelling) senses. We use all of our senses to reach an understanding or conclusion; however, one of the above modes will usually predominate. In the case of modes of processing, some people are mostly visual; some are mostly auditory, and some are mostly kinesthetic. VISUAL
A
visual person will make mental pictures and images of the conversation;
they will also use lots of
An auditory person will tune into the words being used; they will use lots of auditory words such as . . . let me amplify . . . I hear you . . . listen . . . that rings true . . . I like the sound of that . . . that clicks . . . , etc. KINESTHETIC
A kinesthetic person will be more in touch with what they are
Giving feedback to the client as to
our impressions, and receiving
clarification and verification from the person, can give us more meaning
and understanding as to what we are actually noticing. In addition, the
client can also share his or her impressions and ask questions of us! Everybody picks up and deduces an amazing amount of information about a person over the phone. You do the same thing only it is usually at a more unconscious or subconscious level.
A trained professional is not only aware of all these various features; he
or she is able to identify emotional and cognitive/thinking patterns which
serve as a guide for formulating insightful questions, and for offering
effective holistic counseling, coaching, help, and guidance.
Often, clients report that they
find it easier to talk about more personal problems over the phone.
When they are in a face-to-face session, they sometimes tend to feel too
embarrassed to bring up and discuss whatever is troubling them. Feeling intimidated by the transpersonal/holistic counselor or coach when working in-person, is another issue some clients struggle with. Starting with our mothers and fathers, we are taught to be fearful of adults from the time we are toddlers, especially adults in authority.
This can include parents, teachers, police officers, bosses, and so on.
Unfortunately, this fear can continue into adulthood creating huge
emotional blocks that stop a person from moving ahead.
When talking on the phone, the
client can often more easily resolve this fear without having to
experience it with their transpersonal/holistic counselor or coach. In other words, your
transpersonal/holistic counselor or coach can be perceived more as an ally or friend that can
help you, rather than as an authority figure to be feared. So, is phone communication effective? You bet! ;o)
