The Family as a unit Program, Cognative Behavior
A family is more than just a group of individuals living under one roof; it is a single, cohesive entity with its own shared identity. When we look at the family as a unit, we are looking at the foundation of who you are together. That begins with who you are as a person in the family unit. If your thought life is not functioning correctly then everyone in the unit is going to be impacted.
Every family has a unique culture built on shared values, core beliefs, and collective goals.
In our coaching sessions, this is where we begin. We will explore foundational questions to anchor you in the family: Your thoughts impact your emotions which then impacts your behavior. Cognative Behavioral Therapy is a tool used to improve our thought life and how we process our thinking into behaviors.
What is your behavior? By defining the family unit, we establish a secure base. When every member understands and contributes to this shared identity, the family becomes a source of strength, ready to face the world together.
The Family as a System Program, Dialectic Behavior
Think of your family as a highly complex, interconnected ecosystem. In a family system, the emotional and behavioral state of one person directly impacts everyone else. A healthy family system naturally seeks a "homeostatic balance"—a stable, familiar, and steady way of functioning.
However, life is rarely entirely predictable. This delicate balance can be easily disrupted by internal conditions such as unexpected life transitions, chronic illnesses, or past and present traumas. When one part of the system shifts, the whole system feels the weight of it.
Our goal is to bring awareness to these impacting conditions. By accessing the right knowledge—whether prior to a disruptive event or while you are actively going through it—you can better understand why your family system feels off-balance. Together, we will assess:
The dialect between individuals will impact the success of the family system? What is your current status, and what specific issues or disruptions is the system currently facing? We will approach this from a dialectic behavior lense.
The Family as a Dynamic Program, Identify the Obsticles
While the "system" is your family's underlying structure, the "dynamic" is the action. It is the living, breathing way your family interacts, communicates, and responds to challenges in real-time. Family dynamics are about behavior, patterns, and movement.
Once we understand your family's identity (the unit) and what you are currently facing (the system), we focus on how you are moving forward. As your coach, my role is to give you access to transformative knowledge and guide you in applying it. How you choose to use this information to shift your family dynamic is entirely up to you. When you have unidentified obsticles, then family disruptions can be expected.
To improve your family dynamic, we will work through actionable, reflective questions:
What areas in teh family seem to be the most troubling? Does your current behavior match who you are and what you want for your family?
What Are you doing? In what way are you doing it? Is it turning out as you would like? * Are there obstacles standing in your way, like anxiety, depression, OCD, mental illness or other conditions?
Roy Peet Poillon - Certified Christian Mental Health Coach
What is a Christian mental health coach? They’re specially trained professionals who help people develop greater self-awareness, implement tools to better manage their lives, and pursue specific mental health goals. Coaches can help people with a range of conditions, from stress, burnout, and anxiety to those who need support through life transitions, tough feelings like anger, or relationship issues. These are then related to your spirituality. How well do you relate the "worlds offering" compared to God's offer. This often has a lot to do with practicing by taking an issue, understand it in the world and then turn to bible scripture to read what the Lord says about that issue. We are challenged when the two are in conflic. Our job is to understand why, and determine what is needed to bring them into alignment. It is very personal, and only you have the answer. But with the assistance of a Christian Mental Health Coach, maybe you will find it. Certainly you will undersatnd it.
Mental health coaching is designed to get you back on track when you’re feeling stuck and help you create a more rewarding life.
Much like therapists, behavioral health coaches listen deeply to their clients to gain an understanding of their personal needs, challenges, and hopes. Based on each client’s particular set of circumstances, mental health coaches also do the following:
Ask questions that help people see things from a different perspective and open up to changes that’ll improve their lives
Introduce new perspectives and skills.
Mental wellness coaches help people develop skills to help them overcome obstacles they may be facing. They also provide a fresh perspective to help their clients reframe thinking patterns, better manage emotions, and address problems more effectively.
Identify personal strengths. People learn to embrace their strengths as well as practice self-compassion and acceptance.
Improve relationship skills.
Help clients design actions to facilitate behavior change and hold them accountable for putting them into practice. Clients rarely leave a behavioral health coaching session without establishing a personal practice to complete before their next session. This could mean a journaling exercise to clarify their values and goals, a new technique to try when emotions get the best of them, or another meaningful “homework” assignment designed to propel their transformation.
Mental health coach vs therapist.
While a mental health coach and therapist both work to help you improve your mental health, there are several important differences.
Credentials: Therapists hold at least a master’s degree in psychology or a related field, and must complete licensing requirements in their state, along with a certain number of supervised clinical treatment hours. Certain types of providers, such as psychologists, hold a PhD or PsyD. Mental health coaching, on the other hand, usually requires a certification program.
Many of these programs are accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) or other coaching organizations.
Area of focus: Behavioral health coaches help their clients focus on the present and future. Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are more likely trained to help clients heal from past and present challenges.
Medication.
Mental health coaches do not prescribe medication. They can recommend a client see a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner if medication may be helpful.
Diagnoses: Behavioral health coaches cannot diagnose mental illness, although they can recommend that a client seek a diagnosis from a therapist.
