Coaching Boundaries & Communication: Unlocking Authentic Expression
Effective communication is at the heart of unlocking your full expression. In our work together, my priority is to create a space where your thoughts, feelings, and ideas whether intense, abstract, or tangential—can be fully shared without judgment. This space is designed for people whose minds process, focus, and experience the world differently: those who identify as neurodivergent and those who simply feel deeply, think differently, or crave deeper, more authentic conversation.
I’m aware of how people’s brains work differently and how past experiences, especially tough ones, affect how they show up in life. Life moves fast, but I offer you a chance to slow down and really connect with what you need in a way that feels safe and honest. Many people come to coaching because they want help being brave in their life and work. They want to understand how to change habits and stories they tell themselves that aren’t helping anymore. They want to feel calm inside and create lasting changes—not just quick fixes.
My Boundaries
As your coach, I honor my time, energy, and the integrity of this coaching space. These boundaries are not restrictions—they are acts of alignment, ensuring that every session is grounded in presence, intention, and flow. Each boundary is a commitment to myself, to you, and to the depth of the work we do together.
Time and Energy:
Time is not just measured in hours; it is measured in presence. I coach between 10 AM and 4 PM, following the rhythm that allows me to show up fully. I cannot promise an immediate response to messages, but I commit to a thoughtful one within 3 5 working days. This ensures that when I do respond, it is with the attention and care you deserve.
Neurodivergent-Informed Support:
We respect different processing speeds, attention needs, and communication preferences. I provide space for reflection, tangents, and exploration without rushing or judgment. This is particularly important for people who think deeply, feel intensely, or experience overwhelm in conventional settings.
Communication Needs & Agreement
Communication is central to unlocking your expression. To ensure that sessions are as meaningful and safe as possible, we co-create a working communication agreement. This helps both of us understand each other’s needs and ensures that our conversations support your growth, curiosity, and exploration.
Elements of the Communication Agreement:
Preferred Channels: How and when you like to communicate written, verbal, or visual and my availability.
Processing Time: Space to absorb, reflect, and respond thoughtfully.
Emotional Expression: Sharing emotions grief, frustration, joy, excitement—safely and constructively.
Clarity and Reflection: Checking in when ideas feel confusing or overwhelming.
Boundaries and Respect: Honoring session times, messaging windows, and urgent requests.
Scheduled Check-Ins: Reviewing whether the agreement works, whether sessions are serving you, and making adjustments as needed.
Handling Emotions: Guidance on navigating intense emotions within communication so they become tools for insight rather than obstacles.
Practical Steps to Respecting Neurodivergence
To honor neurodivergent needs, our sessions include:
Pacing and Timing: We adapt session flow to match your processing speed. You can pause, reflect, or revisit ideas as needed.
Clear Expectations: Before each session, we outline topics or goals so your focus and energy can align naturally.
Sensory & Cognitive Considerations: If visual aids, written summaries, or alternative formats help you process information, we integrate them.
Flexible Communication: You are welcome to speak, write, or illustrate thoughts—whatever best suits your brain and expression style.
Check-Ins: Regularly reviewing how sessions feel for you, so adjustments can be made to maximize comfort, clarity, and growth.
Emotional Anchoring: Using grounding or reflection exercises to manage overwhelm or intense feelings during discussions.
Holding Space for Raw, Unconstrained Expression
This agreement creates the conditions for big talk after big talk, where you can explore everything from the lore of your favorite games to the meaning of death, or the philosophical threads connecting your ideas. Here, tangents aren’t interruptions—they’re invitations to uncover what matters most to you.
I welcome your whole self. I know a lot of people say that, but I truly mean it. There is a whole list of things people often claim they don’t judge; my only commitment is to explore and grow with you. You can share controversial or unconventional views—not because I endorse them, but because everyone deserves to be heard. Compassionate challenge is part of the process: you will be seen, understood, and supported, even when we disagree.
My Role: Guiding, Not Leading
I am your coach, not your mentor. I do not walk ahead of you; I walk beside you. I do not give you answers; I guide you to your own. You are your greatest source of wisdom. My role is to challenge, reflect, and illuminate—not to impose solutions. This is your path, and I am here to hold space as you claim it fully.
Why These Boundaries Matter : By centering communication in a neurodivergent-informed, emotionally safe, and mutually respectful framework, we unlock space for authentic expression. This allows you to:
Speak freely and deeply without performance pressure.
Explore complex ideas—philosophical, emotional, creative—without censorship.
Build skills to navigate conversations with yourself and others.
Feel fully seen, heard, and supported in your unique way of thinking and feeling.
