WHAT IS A COACHING CONTAINER?​
​
In coaching, a "container" refers to the space created by the coach to support the client's growth and transformation. It includes the boundaries, structure, and environment established for the coaching relationship to thrive, encompassing aspects like confidentiality, trust, goal setting, and accountability.
It provides a safe and conducive space for the client to explore their thoughts, feelings, and goals, while the coach guides and supports them in their journey toward personal and professional development.
"I saw her sitting there, a younger, smaller version of me,
at 9 years old, sitting on my childhood bed.
I slowly walked to her and knelt.
I took her hands in mine.
she looked up at me and with a small voice asked,
"does it get any better?"
I squeezed her hands. "not for a long time.
it doesn't get better for a long time."
she closed her eyes and tears streamed down her face.
I let go of her hands and placed mine around her small face.
"does anyone end up saving us?" she softly asked.
I smiled."yes." I said. she then looked at me, hopeful.
"Who saves us?" she asked.
I smiled even bigger."we do. we save ourselves."
