Hey Suzie,
Thank you for this great article. I am a coach myself and totally agree. Some clients also want someone outside of their friends and family circle that is able to connect with them. However I found this sentence interesting. I wonder if that varies for you depending on the client. When I am very anxious I feel nothing can calm me down like a nice long run. I tried doing a stretch session instead and it didn’t work. I can not shut up my brain with something calming :-D
