It's easier for health professionals and most
patients to use drugs as a substitute for change.
Self-medication with alcohol or nicotine, or prescription
anti-depressants and stimulants, is easier than applying intelligence,
focus and analytical skills to complex relationship situations. Drugs
are also cheaper for the patient (in the short term) and more profitable
for the health professionals.
The long-term consequences and side-effects of
psychoactive drugs are unacceptable
to an increasing number of
health professionals and patients.
Our Systemic Coaching
We provide and teach cways to assess and change behavior -
and the behavior of people in families and in other important relationships.
Systemic coaching is not psychotherapy, psychiatry nor medicine - and systemic
coaching can help both patients and care givers.
We coach people to gain insights and emotional stability that can provide many
benefits. We assume that illness and disease are functional,
and provide benefits that outweigh the disadvantages. This implies
that illness or diseases are not random and chaotic, rather that disease
can be perceived as communication. What does a disease say for you - that
you will not say?

Coaching & Disease Symptoms
Many diseases are diseases of
lifestyle, such as drug abuse and obesity; and their complications (e.g. heart disease,
cancers & adult-onset diabetes.) Health coaching can help people prevent disease, and
deal with disease symptoms, and can provide emotional support
during difficult times.
 |
Systemic diseases
interfere with the normal structure or function of a human system.
A systemic disease may manifest as toxic relationship conflicts,
codependence, symbiosis or relationship bonds.
Systemic coaching can help people improve
relationships - even during emotional stress or physical disease. |
Health & Systemic Coaching
Disease in a family can challenge all family members.
If you or a member of your family has been diagnosed with serious disease,
it will affect all of your
lives. This page describes health and disease, common emotional complications
and ways of improving health with systemic coaching.
Good health is often described as an absence of pain or
suffering. We describe health as a state of physical
and mental wellbeing - a sense of integrity and wholeness - an experience of
connectedness that transcends physical sensations or emotions.

A therapeutic coach motivates, supports, identifies
strengths and exposes what holds you back. Health coaching helps you see your way,
to discover the creative solutions you need to
achieve your goals. We provide a helping hand - or a helping foot!
Pain Free Living & Pain Coaching
Pain is as unpleasant sensory and
emotional experience caused by real or imaginary injury or damage to the
body. Pain warns of injury; and protects against further injury by motivating
withdrawal from the source of injury. Pain also leads to reduced activity,
which may enable injuries to heal.
Pain also has emotional, relationship or psychological components. Some people express
extreme discomfort from relatively minor injuries, while others express
little or no pain after a severe injury. Sometimes pain is present even
though no trauma is apparent, or after an injury has healed.

Birth is suffering; decay is suffering; death is suffering; sorrow, lamentation,
pain, grief, and despair, are suffering; not to get what one
desires, is suffering ...
Buddha (About 500 BC) |

Suffering
does not ennoble; it degrades. It makes men selfish, mean, petty and
suspicious. It absorbs them in small things ... it makes them less than
men.
Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965) |

Coaching & Mental Disease
Many health professionals use the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM
IV) or the International Classification of Diseases
(ICD), which define mental illnesses by symptoms and characteristics.
However, the described symptoms often overlap, differ from person to person, and people may
simultaneously display more than one set of recognizable characteristics.
We do not treat physical nor mental
illness. We explore what you want; and help you identify any relevant challenges or
blocks. We can coach you to define healthy goals and overcome obstacles that prevent
you fulfilling your goals.
