Ontological coaching

Ontological coaching rests on the idea that a human being is not only a thinking creature but one who builds their world through language. This approach, developed by Fernando Flores and Julio Olalla and put into writing by Rafael Echeverría, looks at three domains together: our language, our body, and our emotional state. These domains continually affect one another; someone whose body has collapsed speaks differently, someone whose words change feels differently. The coach works on the client's "way of being," not their behaviors one by one. Becoming a new observer makes new actions possible.
