NLP Podcast 136: Coaching Examples with Simone Kriebs

Marian Zefferer interviews Simone Kriebs today. She is a holistic practitioner for psychotherapy, a multiple book author, and primarily deals with the topics of self-love and self-confidence. She also has her own podcast “Just be good to myself – Your podcast for a happy relationship with yourself” and she focuses on exactly that. The episodes cover focus topics that change every month, such as guilt, fear of intimacy, or self-love.

In today's NLP podcast episode, the two especially talk about coaching and suitable case examples. Simone became a therapist because she was searching for something good herself but couldn't find it. After her studies in education, she began a therapeutic training. So it was initially help for self-help. Her coaching attitude is “The solution is already within you,” your brain may be creating a problem right now, but it also carries the solution within itself. Challenges happen externally, and we react to them. We can internally determine what we make of this stroke of fate, for example, and how we integrate it into our personality.

Simone tells of a case: A woman separated from her husband after 20 years. Both moved into their own apartments. After 6 weeks, the woman found her husband hanged in the basement. For the woman, this event is associated with a lot of guilt. Simone worked with her on processing grief and addressing guilt. Through this work, the woman was able to go to her husband's funeral in peace. Of course, the grieving process is not yet complete, but it helped her process this event. The event in this case is that the woman found her husband hanged. Everything that arises in her mind after this event in terms of thoughts and images creates the great pain. Simone's task is then to look into the client's inner world and see what images arise there. This inner reality is what Simone tries to soothe, heal, and rewrite the story.

Marian and Simone discuss in this episode exactly how she approached her client. The two also discuss other case examples and tips for more self-love.
