The Immediate Care Process - Professional Course I opted to take this course, initially, to make me a better coach. I am a Strength & Movement coach and a Mindset Guide and I am open to avenues that help me on those paths. Having known Simon for decades, I knew this would not be a pointless exercise and that I would likely be challenged, which I have been! I started the course expecting to learn his Self Regulation Techniques (which I already practise and stand by) and elements of psychology which would add to my depth as a Mindset Guide. I expected to learn some deeper content that probably would not be readily taught elsewhere on other courses which pass people just for paying. What I ended up getting was an in depth education about myself and my own blocks and false perceptions which were handed to me on a silver plate! It is indeed true that you can only truly help others when you are willing to walk the path before them and do the work that you are going to ask them to do. There are no shortcuts on this one. Anyone can call themselves a coach but only people who have actually walked the path will go the distance. I would say this course is for those who intend on walking the path and not just saying they have. I did not expect to have to dig so deep into areas of my own self that I had successfully avoided for a very long time. This has challenged me and at times been quite emotional. I don’t share this to put anyone off. I share this to remind others that to help others we have to have helped ourselves. Otherwise we will only ever get so far with people before we stop getting through to them because of our own blocks getting in the way. I am coming out of this course with a far better understanding of myself and of the behaviours I see in others from a psychological perspective and not just a mindset perspective. This allows me to see people with a wider field of vision and appreciate that none of us know everything or have all of the answers.
