30 | Grounding and Centering before a Client with Very Little Time
Manage episode 426986225 series 3584233
If you're in practice long enough, you'll likely find yourself in a situation where you need to transition quickly between one client and another.
You'll also find that there are times when you need to move from a jarring personal situation into your clinical work, without much time to make a mental adjustment.
In this week's episode, I share a situation that required me to flip into clinical mode with just minutes to spare.
I'll let you listen to the full story in the episode. As a preview, it involves words written in blood .
(Don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds.)
Some of the strategies I use for quick transitions:- 1-3 deep breaths
- A post-it note with words to remind me of how I want to show up stuck to my monitor
- Calm lighting and adding a few drops of an essential oil blend to a diffuser
- Verbally or mentally setting my intention
- Turning my head and/or briefly focusing my eyes on something outdoors (or going outside for a few breaths if time allows)
I'd love to hear about them. Please feel free to Monday Mentoring for ongoing conversations about how to handle tricky clinical situations
