Root Based Approach Through Neuro Coaching

Neuro Coaching is all about addressing symptoms by figuring out the root cause. Neuro Coaching is all about transformation instead of bandaids that only temporarily mask the symptoms. 

Our brains want to keep us safe. That means our brains want to keep us in things that are familiar (familiar emotional responses, familiar thoughts, familiar habits, familiar circumstances, familiar mindsets). Unfamiliar and new to our brains is interpreted as DANGER and then subconsciously triggers our brains to go into panic mode and do whatever it can to get us back in the safe zone. 

When we understand how our brain works and its automations that are bent towards helping us avoid ANY TYPE of change, then we can approach resistance to new habits and circumstances in a more effective manner. 

In LAUNCH I compiled many of the common and prominent ways a brain may fight to keep an individual stuck in habits that get results that are not desired. The tools are applicable to many different scenarios because every single brain is different and there is no one size fits all approach to Neuro Coaching. 

Here are some examples of wanting one thing, but constantly getting a different results (due to automations the brain has created to keep you "safe" and away from what is unfamiliar):

• A teenager wants to be successful and excited, but they feel depressed and discouraged most of the time.
• A teenager wants to be brave and confident, but when they get in front of people they are nervous and shy. 
• A teenager wants to do the right thing, but in a group setting they fall into peer pressure and just do the popular thing.
• A teenager wants to be responsible and "do better", but they keep making choices that result in them being irresponsible.

Helping our teens get to the root of what is causing the disconnect between the person they want to be and the results they are getting brings freedom because it releases them from feeling guilty that they just can't "be better". It also helps them get breakthrough because once they apply the tools that move them towards version 2.0 of themself they can rewire their brain so they have a new default system in place. This change they can take with them for the rest of their life (as long as they do not choose to make a different wiring).
