Is Coaching for Me?

By Debrah Anne Tigchelaar, Certified Life Coach | October 25th

Do you feel you are “stuck” in the same rhythms of life? Are you asking yourself, how did I get here? Do you want things to look different but feel you don’t know how to change or where to start? If these questions sound familiar then coaching may be for you.

We often need encouragement, accountability and new ideas along the way to move us forward. Life coaches do not give you a list of do’s and don’ts but instead work with you in finding solutions that are doable for you. Together you will discover what works best for you, what barriers stand in your way and how you can start to make lasting changes to live your best life.

Coaching is a series of focused conversations. Coaches help you navigate through the changes you want to see by encouraging you to identify your hopes and goals, provide accountability, assist in clarify your values, ask thought provoking questions and together put a plan in place to take the necessary steps to move forward.

Coaching at Eagles Nest is designed to address issues the person being coached would like to consider. These might include spiritual growth, healthy lifestyle management, life balance, decision-making, and achieving short-term or long-term goals.

Coaches inspire you to be your best you.

The best outcome in coaching happens when you, the client, are committed to do what it takes to achieve your coaching goals and take ownership for the coaching process.

When you're ready to make the call, we will be here!

What is Psychotherapy?

Psychotherapy is a form of mental health treatment typically conducted by talking with a professional about emotional or cognitive distress. These conversations can be in a group setting or one-on-one. While most types of psychotherapy involve talking, other modes of communication include art therapy and expressive arts therapy. No matter the mode, the goal of psychotherapy is to help relieve the mental suffering of the individual seeking it.

Understanding the Cycle of Anxiety

By Stephanie Kolaski (Bowen), RP, PMH-C

Anxiety is a common mental health issue that affects millions of people worldwide. It often manifests as a cycle of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that can feel overwhelming and difficult to break.

What is Trauma?

By Candice Chiu, M.Ed Counselling and Psychotherapy, RP {Qualifying}

What pops into your mind when you hear the word trauma?

Perhaps you see a violent battlefield during wartime. Or you may be visualizing a major plane crash. Maybe it’s a weapon being pointed directly at you.

If you saw one of the above or anything similar, you’re not alone. Most people think of trauma as a life-threatening experience. These dangerous situations can definitely be traumatic for many. However, if you ask most mental health professionals, they will define trauma differently. Dr. Gabor Maté, a leading specialist in the field of trauma and addiction, says that trauma is, “not what happened to you; it is what happens inside of you as a result of what happens to you”. In other words, trauma is not a situation, but an internal experience.
