Personalization

Personalization is taking on even the things one is not responsible for. When a meeting goes badly or someone else is out of sorts, the person automatically reads it as their own fault. This pattern creates a needless burden of guilt and overlooks that events usually have many causes. Seeing oneself at the center of everything is, in fact, a distorted view. The coach helps the client distinguish their real share in a situation from the burden they are not carrying.
