What is Ontological Coaching?
Ontological Coaching is a transformative approach to coaching that focuses on exploring and shifting the client’s way of being. Rooted in the disciplines of philosophy, linguistics, emotions, and somatics (body awareness), this methodology examines how individuals construct their reality through their language, emotions, and body.
Rather than focusing solely on actions or problem-solving, Ontological Coaching delves into the underlying beliefs, assumptions, and habitual patterns that shape a person's experiences and decisions. By bringing awareness to these areas, clients can develop new ways of seeing themselves and the world, enabling them to create sustainable change and fulfilling lives.
Key elements of Ontological Coaching include:
Language: Understanding how speech (and mind) shapes perceptions, emotions, and possibilities.
Emotions: Exploring sensations, feelings, emotions, and their impact on decision-making and relationships.
Body: Exploring the role of somatic experience, physical presence, and posture in shaping identity and interactions.
