Dr. Towanna Freeman recently talked with "The Believe Coach" Nick Dillon regarding the season premier of the television show, "Iyanla: Fix My Life." In the show, Life Coach Iyanla Vanzant had a one-on-one session with "Basketball Wives" star Evelyn Lozada, regarding her relationship issues and domestic violence. Coach Nick praised Iyanla Vanzant's coaching strategies, saying that she did an excellent job helping Evelyn down the path of self-discovery. Highlights of the Interview Iyanla Vanzant used an essential tool in effective coaching: self-disclosure. She validated and made her information and advice much more impactful by disclosing her own experiences with abuse. Many people in abusive relationships have the feeling that they are entirely alone. Many also feel that they cannot be open about the abuse due to the potential shame of exposure of their perceived weaknesses or poor decisions they made. Self-disclosure by a life coach can get beyond these walls. A good life coach does not accept generalities from his or her clients, but expects statements to begin with "I". Iyanla was adamant that Evelyn "own it," even asking her to rephrase some things to make sure the problem was fully owned up to so that it could then be fully addressed. In our relationships, we are looking for security, significance, and self-worth. What Evelyn's coaching sessions showed was that these are things each person needs to build for him- or herself instead of looking to our relationships to provide them.
