Do you often realise afterwards what you wish you had said?

When tension rises, do you find yourself responding in ways that don’t feel like you?

Just call the client…

Just tell them you don’t want that…

Why worry about what others think? ? Just don’t let it bother you.…

If only it were that simple.

There are situations that are not so simple for you. Situations where, despite knowing how you would like to respond, you find yourself responding differently.
Such as with a colleague who dominates the conversation, a demanding client, or a manager you want to impress.

Something is activated in you that you only notice afterwards. Through rising tension in your body, resistance, or the urge to withdraw. Later, you realise you would have wanted to respond differently. You know what you would have liked to say or do. Yet in the moment, an old pattern takes over.

It might seem as if it is only about that one conversation or that one colleague. But when similar situations keep repeating themselves, there often turns out to be a recurring pattern underneath.

When these patterns keep repeating, the same reactions keep showing up. This takes energy. You may start avoiding certain situations, replaying conversations in your mind, or holding back from fully showing up.

I work with professionals who want to gain insight into these recurring patterns. Together, we explore what keeps showing up in these situations and how this influences the way they respond and act.
