The importance of consistency when accompanying the client

A reflection on the importance of coherence and honesty when assisting cases.

Let's start from the definition of the term "coherence": it is everything done in the approach of thinking, feeling and acting according to one's principles and values. How many therapists, psychologists, coaches and other specialties act according to their personal coherence?

It is a complex issue to solve; however, in many of the situations in which help is sought from a professional, it requires certain training, empathy and other characteristics to be able to solve the alteration that leads the person to consult, which in some cases also affects the professional and he/she has not even managed to solve it in a way that is not even possible. has not even been able to solve it in an adequate way in his life..

Why consistency is key when serving clients

Distinguishing this type of pattern is not a simple matter, but as people who act on behalf of others, we should make a constant self-evaluation of the problem posed by the client and ask ourselves whether this vocation and ask ourselves if this vocation is truly in service to others or, on the contrary, a simple salary.

The true meaning of offering coaching services is not only based on the desperation to seek a title or profession to get us out of our discomfort, to please our relatives, or the typical "this vocation is usually easy", but to integrate the true passion that lies in ourselves, in our essence and in the true purpose of being guides in the processes of each person.

The purpose is the one that moves us to fulfill our functions without hurting or aggravating the client's problem. Can we get to imagine, if in some cases in which what we recommend is not appropriate for our client, which may harm the person or intensify a type of symptom that did not require such treatment?This may harm the person or intensify a type of symptom that did not require such treatment?

Knowing how to say "no" and delegate to another professional what in our perception we are not able to carry out, is also part of our good praxis. The key is to be aware that we may not be able to attend to all those who come to us in the way they really need.

Knowing our limits

Nowadays, both values and principles are of discontinued use in different areas of our society, where an increase of their importance is currently reflected in fields such as personal or spiritual development? Why is this happening?

Because they are processes in which knowledge is handled with approaches of self-realization, introspection and paths of truth, allow to teach and implement again what at some point we have lost through certain limiting beliefs.The knowledge of self-realization, introspection and paths of truth, allow us to teach and implement again what we have lost at some point through certain limiting beliefs.

Therefore, starting from the premise of coherence, if we start being the 1% or more that exemplifies through our actions in all areas of life this type of concepts, we can make a difference when it comes to both user and professional understand the importance in our collective healing the use of such terms and how significant they are, not only for our individual advancement, but also in our community.

In the field of psychological accompaniment or coaching and all that it encompasses, it is not only necessary to provide the tools, advice, treatment, approach and everything that concerns to carry out the proper solution, but also to act in the most appropriate way possible, based on the fact that we are also human beings with wounds to heal. we are also human beings with wounds to healand that if these are still open.... With what criteria do we recommend to another being about what we ourselves have not been able to solve?

The importance of honesty is key, a value that today may seem lost, but that is a fundamental piece for each person to have the possibility to grow, heal and establish the path that best leads to personal self-realization.
