Life Coaching
Welcome to Self-Compassion Coaching with Diane Linsley. I'm a
certified life coach specializing in self-compassion, life transitions,
and spiritual development. I coach from a Christian perspective.
What is Self-Compassion Coaching?
Self-compassion is the highest form of self-love. It's a spiritual skill
that grows stronger the more you practice.
Self-compassion is not the same as self-esteem. Self-esteem
is situational. It is based on your performance in the world, and it
influences your level of success and your ability to achieve your
goals. Your feelings of self-esteem indicate how well you are able
to meet the challenges of life. Self-esteem often fluctuates, and it can be affected by many factors in the outer world. Many of us have experienced having our self-esteem shattered by traumatic events that leave us less able to cope with the challenges of life.
Self-compassion is not dependent on our situation or what other people think of us. Self-compassion arises when we are suffering because the word compassion means "to suffer with." It involves accepting, loving and forgiving ourselves in spite of our weaknesses.
Self-compassion is a gift from God. It is seeing ourselves as children of God and trusting in his strength instead of our own. We forgive ourselves because God forgives us first. We love ourselves because we trust in God's love.
Self-compassion is more than self-care. It includes self-discipline and taking responsibility for our lives. The processes I teach require time and effort, along with the ability to think clearly and the willpower to change habits of thought and action.
As we practice self-compassion in God's way, our love for others increases. Our relationships improve, and our faith touches the lives of all those who know us.
Types of Coaching that I Offer
Emotional Coaching - Emotional intelligence is a skill that anyone can learn. It's especially helpful during difficult times such as divorce or the death of a loved one.
Relationship Coaching - We can improve our relationships by overcoming codependency and developing healthy boundaries. We can also work on our shadow material and stop projecting it onto other people.
Voice Dialogue Coaching - Do you ever feel like you are being pulled in two different directions, and you can't make a choice? Voice Dialogue is a process that helps us understand the different parts of ourselves (our inner voices). It can also be used for emotional healing when we work with voices such as the Inner Child and the Inner Critic.
Spiritual Coaching - I support people who are going through faith transitions. A lot of things can happen on the spiritual path, and it helps to have someone to talk to who has been through these things. I also do dreamwork coaching.
