TRUSTING THAT WHAT YOU ARE DOING WILL WORK cannot be underestimated in rehab and training.
It's why the therapeutic allegiance between a person and their coach / therapist / physio / any health professional is one of the most important predictors of client succes.
I have had clients where I couldn't build that TRUST, couldn't find the CLARITY, couldn't build the MEANING, that unlocked the persons trust and internal motivation to do the work - and I blamed myself for it.
I try not to be too hard on myself when its hard to inspire, educate and coach clients. But I am, and I try to turn that into learning opportunities. How can I listen better, what did I miss, is there something I need to refresh or learn?
But I know I cannot help everyone, not every person is a match for every therapist for sure! And life continues.
When trust is built, the results come easy.
Not that pain dissapears all of a sudden, but rather that flair-ups, things that don't work, all kinds of challenges, are responded to together as a team, and the process can continue uninterupted even tho the person might be experiencing a lot of pain.
I really love to build relationships with my clients, that's what its all about, because nothing can be learned, developed and changed except through relation.
And I really love to have fun with my clients. Sometimes I tease and make fun, sometimes I'm very caring, sometimes I demand more when I see laziness, other times I applaud effort regardless of how it looks, often I'm down to earth and familiar, other times more professional and to the point. It all depends on who is in front of me.
Above all, I try to do my best to give people what I think they really need and try to stay attuned to how trust can be built around that process.
