253: Which Two Needs are Really Running your Life? Part 2
In today’s episode, Laura continues with our series on the six human needs — this time focusing on how to use the model as a diagnostic tool in your coaching sessions to ask sharper questions and help clients get unstuck faster.
In this episode:
- When a client "isn't making progress," ask: What is this behavior doing for them? Often it's meeting a deep need in a negative way.
- A powerful case study of a chronically ill client whose need for love was being met through sickness — and how uncovering that became the seed of her recovery.
- Why certainty and identity keep people stuck: Who am I without this problem?
- How to listen for "I need…" language cues, interrupt, and go deeper.
- Finding a healthier vehicle to meet the same need — so the old pattern is no longer necessary.
- A candid look at how these patterns show up in the instructor's own life and business.
Nurse Coach Tip: Identify the top two human needs for each of your current clients. How are those needs being met — positively or negatively?
