the Coaching Studio with Guest Dorothy Siminovitch, Ph.D., MCC

I am pleased to introduce Dorothy Siminovitch, Ph.D., MCC, in this episode. Dorothy and I cover many topics, including the exploration of what Gestalt Coaching really is. Looking at how coaches can hold the space for their clients. Gestalt is very focused on the current present state. So awareness is a very key piece of Gestalt coaching. And there are different dimensions to awareness. Picking up your awareness, body cues, framing your awareness, naming what that is, understanding that you might have whatever it is that you name physical or emotional, or an idea might have some emotional energy, excitement, or anxiety. Deciding do we act on that? Awareness is a very key part of the Gestalt approach. So, today you will get a lot of insight into Gestalt Coaching. Enjoy!Dorothy E.
