COGNITIVE DISTORTIONS

Cognitive distortions are automatic thought patterns or unconscious mental filters that profoundly influence our experience. Often, we are unaware of how these patterns distort our perception of reality. Cognitive distortions limit our choices and can lead to incorrect assumptions, resulting in unnecessary suffering. Understanding these distortions is crucial for coaches to facilitate significant breakthroughs in their clients. The coach’s ability to recognize cognitive distortions during a session may create an exceptional opportunity to raise clients’ awareness, challenge their unhelpful thought processes, and free themselves from such distorted worldviews.

NEUROLINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING (NLP)
Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States, in the 1970s. Bandler and Grinder suggest a connection among neurological processes (Neuro), language (Linguistic), and behavioral patterns learned through socialization (Programming). Once these are recognized and understood, one can modify this programming to achieve specific life goals.

GENCO METHOD NEUROLOGIC APPROACH TO COACHING©
Trauma can be a significant event for someone, such as a tragic loss, or a very simple one for another, such as a broken acrylic nail. Traumatic events may influence the autonomic nervous system (ANS) to stay in a constant physiological state, resulting in a fear and defense response to the world around us if they are not recognized and resolved. The nervous system’s response may not be directly related to the significance of the trauma, as this is often influenced by the individual’s inherited biology and social conditioning. After experiencing a traumatic event, the nervous system may become stuck in a constant and locked response to the external environment, characterized by tension, scanning for signs of danger, and a need to withdraw from the outer world to recover.

When the nervous system is in this kind of stuck mode, the generation’s feeling of safety, ability to bond with others, and self-expression are constrained. In these states, the body’s physical response to healing mental, emotional, and physical wounds and the ability to move through a cognitive and behavioral change are limited since the body functions are stuck in alert mode.

Within the Genco Method Neurologic approach, we understand that a client’s ability to change requires them to feel safe in the world, knowing that their executive function and self-regulation would be adversely affected by their response in a state locked into feeling unsafe for whatever reason. Genco Method Neurologic Applications to Coaching© is a unique methodology and includes a particular coaching inquiry that leverages the insights from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, NLP, Polyvagal Theory applications in coaching, and Eastern Esoteric Traditions to foster change availability for the client by creating awareness for their automatic (reactive) responses to the world around them.

Part 1 of this Genco Method Neurological Coach Training focuses on Cognitive Distortions and NLP. Part 2, which will be offered separately later, will focus on Polyvagal Theory.

Genco Method Reconstructive Inquiry (GMRI)©

During this training, participants will learn to form the Genco Method Reconstructive Inquiry. Tijen Genco developed this inquiry by observing clients’ responses to complicated issues where they are overly attached to their point of view. When other methods fail to offer a band-aid approach as a workaround, this method often allows clients to find freedom from their point of attachment and arrive at a resolution with ease, grace, and comfort.
