Mindfulness in coaching
Mindfulness refers to a heightened non-judgmental awareness in the experiences of the present moment such as body sensations, thoughts, or emotions. Long-lasting mindfulness meditation practice helps to enhance attention control, emotion regulation, and self-awareness, and thus, mindfulness practices have been increasingly incorporated into coaching or psychotherapeutic interventions.
The impact of using a non-native language in coaching or counseling: How are emotions, empathy, and trust affected?
Acquisition of a mother tongue occurs in emotionally rich and diverse contexts while foreign languages are typically acquired in academic environments, resulting in non-identical emotional reactivity in response to native and foreign languages. Sometimes we might even experience an emotional distance when engaged in conversation in a foreign language.
