+ Humanistic Psychology
How people experience themselves is valid
“listen attentively to the client to understand the
world as the client experiences it” (Whybrow &
Wildflower 2011)
People want to self-actualize
Whybrow & Wildflower define self-actualization as
becoming more open to experience, developing
greater trust in self, and continuing to grow, pursuing
goals of one’s own choosing (2011, pg. 5)
Each person is unique and valuable
Everyone wants to exercise choices
+ Philosophy and Spirituality
Meditation, prayer, presence change outward action
“cyclical relationship between cognition and behavior”
(Wildflower & Brennan 2011, pg. 1)
Living according to personal mission, values, and beliefs
Universal spiritual principles: acceptance, trust,
gratitude, compassion, connection.
+ Constructivism
We make or construct our world from our
experiences
+ Linguistic Studies
We communicate our experience in ways that depend on the construction of language itself. Rephrasing is re-seeing.
What is the difference?
My students only use technology to entertain themselves.
I need to make sure technology is an integral part of my students’ educational experience.
OR I don’t have time to integrate technology.
I am choosing not to make technology an instructional priority for me.
+ A coach is a chiropractor
Helps clients find instances
where they may be “out of
alignment”
Listens deeply and asks the
right questions to determine
what is causing the pain or
misalignment
Helps shift back to a place of
clarity
Elena Aguilar
+ A coach is a tour guide
Jointly plans a trip with client
Works with the client to identify an end destination and some possible routes
Points out things along the way that the client may not notice
Struggles up the mountains together
Cheers for the client when she makes it
Provides knowledge, resources, feedback, and encouragement
