Why do clients keep getting stuck, even when they know what to do?
You’ve probably seen it happen: a client sets a goal, makes a plan, and seems ready for action, yet change doesn’t happen. What’s holding them back? The answer lies in the three brains: the head, heart, and gut. Traditional coaching often focuses on the head—logic and planning—but neglects the emotional and instinctive dimensions.
3 Brains Coaching breaks through these blockages by aligning the head, heart, and gut. The result? Lasting change and greater confidence in decisions and actions.
Why doesn’t “traditional” coaching always work?
Many coaching approaches get stuck in rational analysis, while emotional and instinctive patterns act as invisible brakes. This can lead to:
- Unprocessed emotional blockages
Emotions in the heart and instinctive reactions in the gut are often unconscious but influence daily behavior. Even when clients logically know what to do, they feel resistance due to these blockages. - Impact on the present
These emotions and instincts are not just memories from the past; they are active in the present. They create direct obstacles to decision-making and cause internal conflicts. - Habits that don’t stick
Research shows that 90% of people abandon new habits within two weeks. Why? Because their head (logic), heart (emotion), and gut (instinct) are not aligned.
How 3 Brains Coaching creates progress
In 3 Brains Coaching, clients learn to balance their head, heart, and gut. This creates a powerful synergy between logic, emotion, and intuition. An example:
Imagine a client wants to find a new job. She knows rationally that she needs to network and apply (head). But in her heart, she feels fear of rejection, and her gut tells her to stay in her safe situation. What can you do?
With this, you help the client understand the voices of her heart and gut and integrate them with her logical goals. The result is clarity, confidence, and decisive action.
