What do you do when you experience strong, uncomfortable emotions?

I try to distract myself with external activities like: TV, games, sleeping, shopping, alcohol, drugs, sex, sports, etc.

I don't know what to do. I lock myself up. I don't want other people to see me like this. I feel lost and lonely.

I stop doing what I was doing. I become still and try to feel the emotion in my body. I try to connect to myself as good as possible.

I can't handle myself anymore. I burst open to other people. Afterwards I often feel relieved, but also shameful and/or guilty.

I acknowledge my emotion. I find someone to talk to and to reflect on what's happening.

If you react differently with different emotions, then pick the emotion that is most uncomfortable to you. Choose the answer closest to your experience.

How are your relationships in general?

My relationships are pretty tough. People tend to argue and fight a lot with me (and/or visa versa).

I feel tension in most of my relationships.

Some are good, some are pretty bad.

Most of my relationships are based on mutual respect.

I don't know

Relationships can be of all kinds: you as a sibling, son/daughter, parent, partner, co-worker, boss, employee, friends, even with people that you meet randomly in the street or supermarket.

Would your life be better if it were different?

External factors have hardly any (or even none) influence on my internal state.

Of course! I'm always reaching for the best of the best.

Sometimes I believe it does, but not often.

It must be, otherwise life is pointless.

I don't know

In other words: Do you believe that significant changes in your life would make you happier?

How do you treat yourself? How do you talk to yourself?

What is your opinion about your life in general?

Could be better, but it's okay.

I have gone through some rough parts, but now I'm doing pretty well.

I am disappointed in life. I see people around me having a much better life.

I don't give a shit about my life. I hate it.

I'm quite content with my life.

Nothing bad ever happened to me. I wonder when it's my turn to experience suffering.

In theory I have nothing to complaint, but there is this nagging feeling that I can't address.

Do you need coaching?

Coaching is highly recommended

Did you know that it's possible to always experience happiness, peace and joy? It lies underneath everything! We are just not used to feeling it all of the time, because we haven't learned how. Coaching can help you to master your mind and to become free from all suffering. It only takes your willingness. It's never too late!

You got this!

You don't seem to need coaching to redirect your life. You seem to know how to handle your mind and emotions very well. Bravo! If you are not yet familiar with The Work of Byron Katie, it might be interesting for you to know more about this method. Just to add a new tool to your skills.

Coaching can be helpful for you

You seem to have your life on track, but do you sometimes feel there is still more to it? Are you wondering if 'this is it'? Coaching can be helpful to put icing on the cake. You may even just need a few sessions to be able to reach contentment throughout your whole life!
