Relationship Coaches And Relationship Coaching Tools

By Karina Frost


Coaching is a different process to teaching or instructing. It is best described as facilitation. Clients are assisted to identify problems and work at creating solutions. Various relationship coaching tools and strategies are used in this process. Old baggage can be released, impasses broken, new ways learned of facing problems and much more.

Our relationships usually bring out the worst and the best in us and are often the most challenging aspect of our lives. However, many of us enter into them with little idea about how to sustain them and make them better. This is why they so often end in divorce. A coach helps to provide strategies and tools that can be used to create healthy, fulfilling relationships, despite past events or current circumstances.

Coaches use many different ways to help people who are stuck to move on and to look at things in a different light. Those who have years of experience have learned which strategies really work. At the root of most problems lie emotions and emotionally charged issues can be resolved with the strategies acquired. Each partner is assisted to work through their own emotions and to support one another in this respect.

Relationships can suffer as a result of many issues such as absence of boundaries, clear setting out of roles and responsibilities or boredom and a lack of passion. Coaches deal with all of these issues and offer ways of addressing them. For example, an agreement may be written out addressing the roles and duties of each individual. Constructive behavior that increases trust and mutual understanding can be encouraged.

A coach is able to look at any issues with an objective view. This helps to provide clarity and insight. A couple may be stuck and not know how to move forward. They can be given concrete steps on how to address this. They may be helped to rediscover what attracted them in the first place.

A coach may aide the couple in building up a new set of goals and giving them a vision of what is possible for them. They may discover more about their own personalities and how this affects their relating. They will be encouraged and showed how to fully appreciate one another and connect in a heartfelt way every day.

Communication and listening skills are vitally important in relationships. Everyone wants their partner to communicate with them and really listen to what they are saying. Very often, the other partner is only listening with half an ear or planning what he or she is going to say next. Fortunately, couples can be taught many tips and techniques to communicate and listen in a way that creates more trust and security.

There are not many relationships that cannot be improved by using some simple and time tested techniques. The foundation will be strong and stay healthy, despite challenges that arise. The coach will support and guide them in clarifying their issues and working out solutions. Healthy, fulfilling relationships are certainly possible and sometimes all it takes is coaching.
