EMDR et coachingEMDR and coaching

Bien que les définitions de coaching varient, la plupart suppose une relation de collaboration entre le coach et le coaché dans le but d’atteindre les résultats de développement professionnel ou personnel qui sont évalués par le coaché (Spence et Grant, 2007). En règle générale, les objectifs de coaching sont fixés afin de développer les capacités d’un individu ou sa performance actuelle. En substance, le processus de coaching facilite l’atteinte des objectifs en aidant les individus à :identifier les résultats souhaités ; établir des objectifs spécifiques ; renforcer la motivation en identifiant les forces et le renforcement d’auto-efficacité ; identifier les ressources et à formuler des plans d’action spécifiques ; surveiller et évaluer les progrès vers les objectifs ; et modifier les plans d’action en fonction des feedback (Grant, Passmore, Cavananagh et Parker, 2010).

Although definitions of coaching vary, most involve a collaborative relationship between coach and coachee with the goal of achieving professional or personal development outcomes that are evaluated by the coachee (Spence & Grant, 2007). Typically, coaching goals are set in order to develop an individual's capabilities or current performance. In essence, the coaching process facilitates goal achievement by helping individuals to: identify desired outcomes; establish specific goals; enhance motivation by identifying strengths and enhancing self-efficacy; identify resources and formulate specific action plans; monitor and evaluate progress toward goals; and modify action plans based on feedback (Grant, Passmore, Cavananagh, & Parker, 2010). In comparison with psychotherapy, there are several important differences that we will partially discuss. The bond between therapist and patient is an asymmetrical relationship. Indeed, most often, the therapist is supposed to have the answers whereas in coaching, the coach helps the client discover their own answers in a relationship of equality and a creative partnership. The therapist is generally interested in the past that led to the dysfunctional situation while the coach is interested in the present and looking for how to move towards a more pleasant future...establish specific goals; enhance motivation by identifying strengths and enhancing self-efficacy; identify resources and formulate specific action plans; monitor and evaluate progress toward goals; and modify action plans based on feedback (Grant, Passmore, Cavananagh, & Parker, 2010).
