the art of the repair

a pre-recorded 90-minute presentation on navigating conflict within
the coaching relationship

We get to hold something very sacred when we work with our clients to get the core of their wounding. No matter what your speciality is, whether you are a shadow coach or business coach or intimacy coach, when you invite your clients to bring you their deepest insecurities so that it can be held and transformed… something very intimate and powerful happens.

So what do you do when, despite your best intentions, things go haywire?

What happens when a client expresses that your methods of coaching isn’t working? What do you do when a client in your group program complains about the program to the group? How do you react when, seemingly out of nowhere, your client tells you they aren’t satisfied with the work and wants to terminate??

I don’t think the coaching industry does a good enough job talking about these tricky, delicate moments. It can feel like if it happens to you it means there’s something wrong with you. But I promise you, this is inevitable when we work with other humans.

Quite the contrary, rupture is an important aspect of any transformational relationship. It’s a sign that something is happening that requires your attention. And if you know how to navigate it, it’s an opportunity for something really magical to unfold between you and your client.

Instead of giving up, fawning, taking it personal, people pleasing, or getting defensive, what if there was another way? What would be possible in your coaching if you had the tools to handle any conflict that comes your way?

What if you could learn a framework that will guide you to use ruptures to deepen the coaching relationship?

In this 90-minute presentation we will…

  • Explore the dynamic of rupture and repair and think about its usefulness in the coaching relationship

  • Dive into what we are missing by avoiding ruptures and how the relationship may benefit from repair

  • Start to develop a relational framework for your coaching practice that can deepen the healing work

  • Talk about tools you can use to navigate any conflict that may come up so that it does not escalate into harm

  • Learn how to listen for ruptures before it is even brought into the coaching relationship

Once you register you will receive an email with all of the information necessary to access the recording.


Hi, I’m Thais

As a depth coach since 2010 and a soon to be licensed psychotherapist in California, I walk the edges between the coaching and therapy world. {You can learn more about me here}.

I went back to school to get my Masters degree in Clinical Psychology with a focus in trauma almost four years ago despite having a successful coaching business because I felt frustrated with the lack of tools in the coaching industry to navigate when things get hard.

When our clients are receptive and eager to get to work, things feel great.

But what happens when there is resistance? What do we do when we receive the feedback that we aren’t good enough? When our skills are not getting the results our client wants no matter how much we are showing up, how do we hold that tension?

Typically I have found that we either get super defensive or we take it deeply personal. What would be possible if there was another way?

Over the years I have learned a framework that is wildly absent in the coaching industry that can help us understand conflict, ruptures, misunderstanding within the coaching relationship in a way that can deepen the healing that is taking place.

Because ruptures can be a gift to the intimacy and depth we want to foster within our clients if we know how to work with it.

This is what I want to share with you in this workshop. Come join me!
