I don't know if you remember your answer. Do you remember your answer?
I didn't think so. Well, you said to me, I just see more clients.
Because seeing clients is so rewarding and fulfilling when you follow the team plan.
I, that was really impactful for me as a student. And what I recognized was when I was feeling compassion fatigue, as they say in the industry, it was because self-defeating beliefs were affecting me. And I was not adhering to the principles of team, whether it be death of ego, whether, you know, and I know you don't say practice what you preach, but we teach that in team.
We may not say it in those language, but you know, like, you know, we need to be authentic and genuine and physician heal myself, that kind of concept. And feeling as fast as we can, like these key principles alleviate a lot of the burden that we would often face in terms of compassion fatigue.
And I have to fix it, right? Like that's the big one for me was I have to fix this. And clients would suck me in and they'd say, but you're the only one that can relate to me because we're the same religion. We're this, we're this, we're this. And so you're the only one that can help me. And I would feel like I'm the one that's got to like fix them and cure them. And it's exhausting sometimes.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that's just ADHD bouncing around squirrel. Um, and, and, and I, I, I like it. Like, I don't think there's anything to fix. I don't think I'm broken just because I like squirrels. Um, yeah, I, I, I think it's, it's, it's the analytical part, right? It's the being able to stop and go, okay, what are the steps? Where do we need to go? Where are we right now? Can I, can I,
Understand, conceptualize where I am right now, and that applies whether it's tech or team. What exactly is the problem? Where do we exactly need to go? Now, what do we need to get there? So there's conceptualization, goal setting, and then what were the steps in between to connect the two? I think that type of thinking lends itself to both.
I think it's why, I'll be honest, I get a lot of engineers wanting to be coaches. And they're like, I don't know what I'm doing. I have imposter syndrome because I got my degree in engineering, electrical engineering, programming. But it lends itself to that. And it's because, David, yourself, you love statistics and you have a very analytical mind.
And so your approach resonates along those same lines. And that's not the right word I meant to say, but...
Yeah. I guess to specifically answer your question, Rhonda, um, I actually had, and I don't know if I, I don't want to double up on the last, on the other podcast we did. I can't remember how much of this I said on the other podcast, but I had my own health issues, mostly physical at the time. And yeah, yeah. Well, I have, I have IBS. So, you know, bowel issues.
yeah, the bathroom becomes a little sanctuary because you get to spend so much time there. Anyway, um, it, you know, it is what it is. Let's, I don't, it, yeah, just is what it is. So, um, so I started looking at some health, um, lifestyle changes to do that. And, and in doing that, it led me into life coaching in general, lifestyle coaching, health coaching, that kind of thing.
And I, I did a little bit of that. And then I realized as I was doing it that, that, um, Actually, it was one particular client that made the shift because I did an approach that kind of was integrative. So we did exercise, diet, mental health. And and then. As I was unpacking this, this particular client wanted to gain weight.
They felt they were too skinny and in their culture, they need to be fluffy. And so they were feeling really out of sorts and out of place and they wanted to gain weight and they just couldn't seem to gain weight. And so they wanted a nutrition plan and all of this stuff and.
But it turned out they actually had a lot of self-defeating beliefs, a lot of perfectionism, a lot of worry and stress because they were never good enough as a mother. And once we dealt with that, they were just feeling so much better. And I said, OK, well, now we'll deal with your nutrition plan. They're like, no, I don't need it. I'm OK. Whether I'm skinny, fat doesn't matter.
Now that I realize it's not about being a failure as a mother, it's about loving my children. I'm good. And so I'm like, well, wait a minute. maybe I'm in the wrong field here. Um, and so then I kind of shifted gears from lifestyle coaching into, into more mental health.
And I did, I did do my counseling because I wanted to be part of the team CBT levels and you, you know, do you have to be a therapist to be a level four? So that's the reason I became a therapist was to get my level four because, because I was using the coaching tools already. Um, and, uh, yeah, so, so it just kind of morphed as I was helping people and, and, and, on just on the journey.
So it was just sort of a natural step.
Okay. Well, we mentioned the Effective Compassion class. That's a free workshop that's open to anyone, a general public therapist coach. And it's just teamcbt.ca slash effectivecompassion.
