Mental Blocks against skills are largely an anxiety / fear based origin that can have many causes in the background. However, many coaches often feel stuck in how to help people through it and some resorting to “just do it!”. I hope to present a psychological background to consider this against (similar to a phobia) and the role of graded exposure and confidence building to result in change and the problem with “flooding.” I will also provide real life examples that I have come across in coaching.
