The Smartphone Analogy
The best way to explain Behavioural Health coaching is to use the smart phone analogy.
Think of your child's brain as a smartphone. A smartphone needs updating and sometimes, so do our thinking patterns and behaviours. Behavioural Health Coaching is like installing these updates. Coaching helps you refine mental processes, fix ‘bugs’ (unhelpful thoughts, feelings and behaviours) and improve performance (overall well-being.)
Apps = Strategies and skills
Develop strategies and skills, or mental ‘apps’ such as mindfulness to reduce anxiety, or time management techniques for better productivity.
Battery Life = Energy and emotional resources
Stress and anxiety can drain your brain battery. Understand how to manage your energy effectively, recognise when you need to ‘recharge,’ and apply strategies to prevent overwhelm.
Settings = Personalised coaching
Behavioural Health Coaching is tailored to your unique needs, goals and situation ensuring that the ‘settings’ are right for you.
Connectivity and Communication = Support and guidance
Your smartphone is your connection to others and so a coach provides a connection to professional support and guidance so that you are never ‘out of service.’
GPS and Navigation = Goal Setting and achievement
Your phone’s GPS gives you direction and helps you find your way. Behavioural health coaching sets your life’s GPS so you can navigate obstacles, stay on track and head towards your goal.
