Frequently Asked Questions
What is Relational Coaching?
Relational Coaching is a process that focuses on the patterns of interaction that you have with yourself, others, and God. Many people think in black and white terms - “I trust that person” or “I don’t trust that person”. Trust is much more nuanced and we can greatly improve our ability to tolerate imperfect relationships when we evaluate trust differently. Angela will walk you through how to evaluate trust and how to use that information to determine appropriate boundaries with others. If you are a Christian, she will also help you explore your trust (or lack of trust) in God and work on developing discernment regarding when to persevere in a relationship and when to “shake the dust off your sandals.”
I’m curious about the art experiences, but I’m also a little scared. What if I’m not good at it?
Angela’s Soul Restore Experiences are designed to help you discover yourself through a guided process.
Angela has done a lot of art in her own journey, but she is not a professional artist. So she understands how intimidating it can be to put a brush to canvas for the first time or to feel like you’re going to “mess up.”
Many of us were brought up in a school system that taught you something and then tested you on it and then moved on. So if you didn’t grasp a concept right away, you got left behind. There was little time or value given to perseverance or trial and error.
Working with Angela, you learn that it’s okay to mess up or be unhappy with your art piece because the art can show you something valuable in spite of your discomfort or frustration.
Rather than giving you the answers, she leads you through a process that helps you discover things for yourself.
Art accesses a different part of your mind than talking does. As a result, we often discover hidden connections (both good and bad) when we engage in an act of reflective creation.
