“My strength is in strength of
wholeness, in total feeling” Anis Nin

In Emotional Coaching a client goes into emotional experiences and learn to understand them as important messages. A contact with bodily experiences is stimulated as a way to connect with one’s feelings.

Dialogical Emotional Coaching is profound work on one’s emotions in order to stimulate personal and professional development in depth. It has been applied in programs for leaders and practitioners.

One of the main goals of emotional coaching is to liberate the person from his/her “I –prisons” (emotions/positions which limit development) and stimulate access to individual emotional resources.

In usual education people learn how to think but they do not learn how feel and how to optimally involve emotions in their development. Emotional Coaching training fills this gap.

Methodogical aspects

Why emotional coaching?

Research shows that emotions have the power to transform the self (Hermans-Konopka, 2006).

We often underestimate the power hidden in our feelings. This power can be dysfunctional (e.g. when people are blocked by their anxiety or when they destroy relations as a result of anger). It can also be a basis of the highest achievements (e.g. enthusiasm and interest which support the realization of one’s most precious values) as well as personal and professional development.

Scientifically based and practice oriented coaching

This coaching methodology is developed in cooperation between dr Agnieszka Hermans– Konopka and prof. dr Hubert Hermans on the scientific basis of the dialogical self theory (Hermans 1991, 2001) and inspired by art and eastern philosophy. Emotional coaching is an artistic and dialogical perspective on life, which invites you to search for depth and richness in the self and in relations with others.
