Description

In this episode, we're diving deep into one of the most powerful tools in a coach's toolbox: The Empty Chair Technique. Rooted in Gestalt therapy and adapted for modern coaching, this technique helps clients confront unresolved emotions, have the conversations they've been avoiding, and bring closure to conflicts—whether with others or within themselves.

From navigating guilt and anxiety to preparing for tough conversations or healing inner conflicts, you'll learn how to safely guide your clients through this profound exercise with clarity and compassion.

Let's explore how this one simple setup—just two chairs—can unlock breakthrough moments, emotional release, and next-level personal growth for your clients.
