Coaching

Whether it’s your native language or one you are learning, language is humans’ most common communication tool. 

But it is not like taking a screwdriver from the toolbox. Languages have been evolving with us for a pretty long time, making them complex, charged and deeply subjective. 

We all have self-protective responses, patterns, reactions and emotions based on what happened to us in the past and the environment we grew up in. But they don’t need to stay on high alert forever. When we show our body and brain the way to safety and regulation, we heal these parts and begin to communicate authentically, confidently and effectively.

Because languages exist not only for communication but also for expression, and as such, they have always been a tool for healing, self-enquiry and self-expression. 

Language has power. 

It has the power to empower or disempower us, produce or reproduce society, and create change or perpetuate the status quo. Understanding our unconscious biases related to education, culture, languages and self-expression through trauma-informed coaching is a powerful way to reframe these biases and discover more compassionate and empathic ways of relating to others.
