YOU CAN GET THERE FROM HERE!

Are you at a crossroads in your life unable or unwilling to choose a path?

Do you know you need to make changes in your life and have no idea where to begin?

There is a vision inside you waiting and wanting to be realized.  Our coaching can guide you to that vision.  With your vision as inspiration you can create a goal and then take specific action to get you there!  This is hard work but also fun and rewarding.

We work with our clients to prepare, dream, plan and live inspiring lives. We are traveling companions, never choosing the route but present to offer encouragement and reminders of the chosen path. We acknowledge progress and celebrate achievements and accomplishments. We are sounding boards, provide honest feedback and assisting our clients in recognizing their gifts and using them creatively.

Coaching works in the now and the future -- addressing where you are now and where you want to go. Coaching helps clear the path to get to the future you most desire.

We focus on supporting our clients to take responsibility for change rather than blaming the past or others for the conditions of their lives.

We know you can transform your life because integrative coaching worked for us.

Cate leads her clients through a 12 week program called "Spiritual Divorce", but a better term is "Heal Your Heart Coaching".  This coaching process uses the pain of any lost or damaged relationship as a catalyst to heal your heart so that you can create the life and relationships you most desire.

Spiritual Divorce coaching his little to do with the mechanics of divorce and has nothing to do with religion. It is an invitation to see ourselves as spiritual beings having a human experience and heal our hearts so that we can give and receive love full again!

 

Like all coaching, Spiritual Divorce coaching is present and future oriented. We look back to uncover beliefs and righteous positions that keep us firmly stuck in past behaviors and that keep us from living fully expressed lives.

As Debbie Ford says in the Foreward to her book, Spiritual Divorce, "There is no such thing as a divorce.  If we accept the definition...of divorce as total separation, disunion, there is no such thing. Separation does not exisit in the universe." What this means is we don't get "rid" of the relationship, even if we have had a nasty divorce or devastating loss. We can't actually END a relationship, we can only change it.  The relationship will always be a part of who we are, a part of our evolution and growth. We can choose to let it continue to define our lives negatively or choose to use our experience to grow and heal.

Want more?

First you must acknowledge all the feelings that come with loss and face head on your relationship "story". Your story is what you have told yourself is the "truth" about what really happened. But in "truth" your story is all the fiction that you created out of the facts of your loss.  Separating fact from fiction, what really happened from what you made these events mean about you or the other person, is vital to the healing process.

Next you are guided through the process of acceptance, trusting that everything is exactly the way it is supposed to be.  Then moving to the path of least resistance, surrender, followed closely by divine guidance, having faith that that there is a divine plan for your life, even if you don't know what that looks like.

Moving on th responsibility, giving back to another the responsibility that you have taken that isn't yours and taking responsibility for what is yours is a huge part of the healing process. By making peace with yourself, you can then choose to reinterpret your experiences and see the gift. Then you are ready for forgiveness.

Forgiving others is a gift we give ourselves, by cutting the cord that ties us energetically and emotionally to the other person.

The ultimate gift of Spiritual Divorce coaching is self-forgiveness. This allows you to love yourself unconditionally, for all your flaws and failures, all your greatness and successes, and reclaim your light and your life to create the relationships you have always desired.

There is an old saying that "time heals all wounds".  I beg to differ.  I believe we often just cover up that wound in a pretty bandage of  justifications, blame and excuses and tell everyone that we are fine.  We even believe it ourselves. But something or someone, some painful experience will trigger that wound again and off we go, into a downward spiral of pain and loss.

So what would you prefer?  Healing your heart now or bandaging that unhealed wound for another 5, 10, 20 years?
