What truly defines an excellent coaching or therapy session? Is it the technique, the model, the client, the rapport?

Or is it the state of the practitioner?

In this immersive session, we propose that your state of being—your Embodied Self Energy—is the single most powerful variable influencing client outcomes. As NLP professionals, we know that presence matters. But presence isn’t accidental—it requires awareness, regulation, and compassionate integration of the parts within us that can arise in the therapeutic space: doubt, fear, performance pressure, or the need to fix.

This session invites you to explore those internal dynamics through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS), blended seamlessly with NLP principles and the 7 Virtues of the Bushido Code—a timeless model of discipline, courage, and compassion.

Through experiential processes, reflection, and a practical integration framework, you'll learn to recognise, befriend, and harmonize your inner parts so you can meet each session grounded, spacious, and fully resourced from the Self.

What You'll Explore

• How your internal parts—and your client's—can shape the relational field

• The positive intention behind self-doubt or fear in practice—and how to work with it, not against it

• A powerful pre-session protocol for aligning with Embodied Self Energy

• How the Bushido virtues can serve as anchors for grounded presence

• A new lens on how your relationship to time impacts your ability to coach from Self

• How to create a safe internal system so that you can become a safer space for others

• Develop deeper compassion for your internal system and how it serves your work

• Apply a practical heuristic model that integrates NLP, IFS, and Bushido principles for session preparation and presence
