Helping Yourself Helping Others, Stephen Gilligan & Robert Dilts.

In early 2020 Stephen and Robert ran two online workshops for their community as a response to the emerging global COVID pandemic. They were broadcast simultaneously in 8 languages and have been viewed over 10,000 times. During the broadcasts, Stephen and Robert guided the viewers through a group process based on both the COACH state practice and the steps of Generative Change (edited together the process for you to use for self-practice-- to help ourselves-- and to bring these tools out into the world to --helping others).

Feeling stuck – CRASH

A ‘stuck’ state may occur when we  meet significant challenges, especially when we are confronting the unfamiliar, dealing with loss or separation, and having a general sense of uncertainty and vulnerability.

He describes the unhelpful survival strategies we can be plunged into – attack, escape or rigidity (fight, flight, freeze) – and how this might result in regression, inertia, ambivalence, the difficulty of letting go, confusion and conflict. Sound familiar?

This ‘stuck state’ can be summarised as collapsing into a CRASH:

Contraction

Reaction

Analysis Paralysis

Separation

Hurt and Hatred

LIVE Generative Coaching 90-minute Webinar with Stephen Gilligan and Robert Dilts

Generative Change teaches us how to connect with our goals, with our resources, and with ourselves. These connections enable us to perceive the world in new ways and create new possibilities in our personal and professional lives. Generative Coaching is the art and practice of helping others to connect with themselves, their resources, and their goals. This integration of Gilligan and Dilts’ lifetime work is an extraordinary program, and we are confident it will produce extraordinary results in your life and in the lives of your clients.

COACH State (resourceful & resilient)
Vs
CRASH State (Stuck & Collapsing)

 

Feeling stuck – CRASH

A ‘stuck’ state may occur when we  meet significant challenges, especially when we are confronting the unfamiliar, dealing with loss or separation, and having a general sense of uncertainty and vulnerability.

He describes the unhelpful survival strategies we can be plunged into – attack, escape or rigidity (fight, flight, freeze) – and how this might result in regression, inertia, ambivalence, the difficulty of letting go, confusion and conflict. Sound familiar?

This ‘stuck state’ can be summarised as collapsing into a CRASH:

Contraction

Reaction

Analysis Paralysis

Separation

Hurt and Hatred

Feeling resourceful – COACH

Robert feels that in order to progress through change, it is important to cultivate qualities such as flexibility and stability, balance, connection and the ability to let go: being centred, and in your “inner zone of excellence”. 

This COACH State can help us move through times of adversity.

Robert Dilts sums up the processes characterizing creating the inner COACH state as:

Centred

Open

Attending with Awareness

Connected

Holding
 

Applying the model – learn the Techniques

Robert reports that it is important to have practices, processes also called strategies,  that help to create and strengthen the COACH state, enabling us to move through and accompany others through times of challenge and change.  I completely agree!

All through my SydneyHypno website is information and techniques that you can use, research, practice and in many ways, find useful in maintaining a COACH state.

 

For example: Presence (including Cantering) and having Rapport.

What new habits might you develop when your life is moving smoothly to help you retain the COACH state (or move out of the CRASH state) during more turbulent times?

COACH stands for Centered, Open, Aware, Connected, and Holding space;

CRASH stands for Contracted, Reactive, Analysis-paralysis, Separating, and Hurt/hateful. 

       * CRASH states give rise to problems and stuckness,

       whereas    

       * COACH states allow creativity and positive responses.

Your Brain is always listening & always aware of what you & others say.

Your brain is always getting cues about your state
from everything you do.

Everything you say, listen to, & do is being taken in by your brain including your posture, your breathing & movement - so ...
Always be intentional.
