Falling apart

Sometimes things fall apart, for example, stories, certainties, and identities. My role as a coach is not to prevent that collapse. My task is to hold the space so that something meaningful can emerge. This is resilience understood as openness, not resistance.

For resilience to appear, we need to accept one of our greatest teachers: pain. The questions then become:
• Can we listen openly?
• Can we allow another person to fully feel what they are experiencing?
• Can we accept the pain long enough to understand the lesson it brings?

Accepting pain does not weaken us. It creates the space that allows us to ask, “What do I need to learn here?” and to move forward with clarity and intention.

In a world where everything revolves around technology, we must not forget the crucial role that human emotions play.
