Coaching: Creencias Nucleares

Cuando somos pequeños, las creencias son automáticas: "para ser bueno", "para que me quieran", hay que ser obediente, no llorar, ...y otras muchas.
Cuando crecemos, algunas de estas creencias se quedan en nuestra mente y actuamos basándonos en ellas. 
La personas que llegan a un proceso de coaching suelen traer creencias periféricas : "falta de confianza", "controlador", "desorganizado"...etc
En general, podemos mejorar la periferia, sin embargo, para acceder a las creencias nucleares, puede ser necesario un observador externo.
Con el coaching buscamos encontrar la coherencia entre lo que ocurre en la superficie y lo que sucede a nivel más profundo.
 Una mala relación con el jefe, marido, profesor, etc., puede tener relación con una creencia relacionada con la autoridad.
Cuando alguien dice: "necesito organizarme mejor" quizá lo que está transmitiendo es su dificultad para poner límites, para decir "no". En este caso la creencia nuclear sería "tienes que ser servicial" y por tanto, no puedes negarte a lo que te pidan, o no pidas lo que necesitas, cero peticiones. 
En búsqueda de esas creencias nucleares, el coach indaga en la emoción, en los hechos que han llevado a la persona a esa emoción. Haciendo preguntas para la posibilidad de cambiar las opiniones respecto a lo que pasó y de este modo, transformar un problema en un "objetivo" de cambio.


Ejemplo de algunas creencias nucleares:
- A mi nadie me dice lo que tengo que hacer
- Cuanto más te ocupas de los demás y menos egoista eres, más te quieren.
- Cuantos menos conflictos haya, mejor.
- El deber es más importante que el placer.
- El éxito profesional es lo más importante.
- La debilidad es un defecto.
- La rutina es lo peor del mundo
- Las cosas buenas que me pasan son por el azar o la casualidad
- Me quieren por lo  que hago no por lo que soy.


¿te identificas con alguna de ellas?

Estudio sobre los efectos del Shiatsu con el dolor

Muchos terapeutas somos conscientes del efecto del Shiatsu sobre el dolor y malestar general. Este estudio es una muestra de los trabajos realizados en este sentido, muy interesante

A Study of the Effects of Shiatsu on Pain Management 

at the Pain Management Clinic of the University Aretaieion Hospital Athens Greece
(March 2008 through October 2011)



By Maria Gryllaki, founding member and current Treasurer of the Hellenic Shiatsu Society.1)
Our team included my two shiatsu practitioner colleagues: Marianna Lazana, founding member and current President of the Hellenic Shiatsu Society (HSS); and HSS member Anna Vazirgiatziki, in conjunction with and supervised by three chief anesthesiologists, Erfili Argyra, Athina Vadalouka and Ionna Siafaka, who also teach at the University of Athens Medical School.2)
Of the 68 patients ranging in age from 30-85 presented by the doctors (and us) to receive shiatsu, I saw 25 (about 300 sessions), Marianna saw 38 (about 240 sessions), and Anna saw 13 patients (about 257 sessions), for a grand total of 797 sessions, with each patient receiving approximately 12 sessions. Psychotherapy, acupuncture and reflexology are also integrated at the pain clinic but were not measured in this study.
SchmerzAll the outpatients we saw were suffering from chronic, nonmalignant-related pain in four major categories. About 80% were on medications, for:
Aufzählung Myoskeletal problems (fibromyalgia, athletic injuries, deformities, osteoporosis, etc).
Aufzählung Auto-immune diseases (Multiple Sclerosis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, etc).
Aufzählung Neurological diseases (Migraines, post-herpes neuralgia, trigeminal neuralgia, etc).
Aufzählung Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).
Patients expressed their appreciation for the advice they received from us about regular exercise (breathing, - walking, yoga, stretching, etc.), and nutrition. Relief from secondary problems (intestinal disorders, stress, hormonal imbalances, allergies, and insomnia) was related mainly to shiatsu. Therefore our holistic approach went beyond merely addressing the origin of their chronic pain. Our interaction with the patients was aimed at enhancing their understanding of the nature/etiology of their pain. It helped their self-confidence to realize they had some measure of control over ways in which they could mitigate pain. Additional complications compounding their pain included psychosocial issues like addictions, family problems, financial stress, and mental stress.
 
Assessment Parameters
Improvement in:
Aufzählung Level, frequency, duration of pain
Aufzählung Quality of life (stress levels, parallel complaints/ illnesses, functioning, mood)
Aufzählung Satisfaction
 
Outcome
Almost every patient expressed feelings of relaxation and relief. All commented on the unique experience of being treated as an individual with a particular health issue, and not just as an impersonal “medical statistic.”
 
Specifics
AufzählungMyoskeletal syndromes: 61% (of 36 patients) = 21-90% improvement
AufzählungNeurological syndromes: 67% (of 9 patients) = 21-90% improvement
AufzählungComplex patients (Myoskeletal syndromes-Neurological syndromes-parallel diseases and complexities in life): 44% (of 23 patients) = 21-90% improvement
Details
AufzählungMyoskeletal syndromes:36 patients
    -       2 patients (6%) = temporary improvement
    -     12 patients (33%) = 5% - 20% improvement
    -     22 patients (61%) = 21% - 90% improvement
AufzählungNeurological syndromes: 9 patients
    -     2 patients (22%) = temporary improvement
    -     1 patients (11%) = 5% - 20% improvement
    -     6 patients (67%) = 21 - 90% improvement
AufzählungComplex patients 23
    -       8 patients (34%) = temporary improvement
    -       5 patients (22%) = 5% - 20% improvement
    -     10 patients (44%) = 21% - 90% improvement
60% (of 68 patients) = 40%-50% quality of life improvement
 
Conclusions
Shiatsu has a considerable and important effect on pain of any etiology/cause, and more specifically:
AufzählungAge was not a definitive parameter to the pain improvement. Patients of 40 years old and 60 years old experienced improvements equally.
AufzählungHowever, age was a factor in compliance issues! Younger patients were more positive and optimistic about dealing with their health issues. Older patients tended to be more pessimistic and linked their health problems to their limited prospects in life. They tended to get disappointed and to give up more easily.
AufzählungPTSD, grief, and psychological factors played a frequent role in their pain profiles.
AufzählungCompliant patients experienced faster and better long term results.

Final Observations
Shiatsu offered pain relief and improved the quality of life of those involved in the study. Patients praised the feeling of support from us after their doctors had run out of many other options in pain management. And finally, according to the personnel of the Pain Management department of the Athens Aretaieion Hospital, shiatsu has enhanced the status of onsite services there.
