Life Coaching in 2022 [2]

According to the Cognitive Principle Matrix life coaching is taught as an integrated system, comprised of six subconscious subsystems which account for 90% of decisions made each day. By understanding how the human mind-body systems works then coaching becomes more effective.

In this article we will look at the "Control sub-system" as it relates to the dominant brain, the subconscious [The right brain, the Master [Prof. Iain McGilchrist], System 1 [Daniel Kahneman-Thinking Fast and Slow], not the conscious brain, the left brain, System 2]

According to polyvagal theory if you can't get control the autonomic nervous system will automatically down regulate from calm to fight-flight to freeze. No matter how hard you try to gain or apply knowledge it will be ineffective. No matter how hard you try to have a relationship, it will not happen. The process must be upward from control-attachment-meaning.

The mind spends 90% of its time in Default mode. [subconscious-system 1]. Of that 46% is spent in DMN Mind Wandering-negative according to Matt Killingsworth study of 15000 professionals.

In CPMatrix control flows three ways:

In pathway 1 the negative habits in the conscious mind are controlling the conscious mind and it can't be stopped.

In pathway 2 the conscious mind is using positive thinking for control. But this has limited effect against a bad habit.

In pathway 3 the conscious mind has voluntarily given up control to the subconscious mind. That is TPN-Neutral to DMN- Creative. This is the most effective approach when you are completely stuck. In simple terms, Stop Thinking. That is why mindfulness has grown so significantly in the last 20 years.

CPMatrix life coaching doesn't teach mindfulness it uses 7 groups of principles and 7 rules to gain control.

The 7 rules and the 4 techniques of life coaching teach how to move up through the 7 levels.
