Side Chat: Problem Transfiguration
Manage episode 246271871 series 2164072
Remember in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire when Mad-Eye Moody (well, the Death Eater who was impersonating Mad-Eye Moody using Polyjuice Potion) briefly turned Draco Malfoy into a ferret that he bounced around the Great Hall, much to the delight of Harry, Ron, and Hermione?
In half a second Draco was transfigured from an unmanageable problem—a persistent bully and nemesis that the trio shared years of baggage and enmity with—to, as Ron put it, “a great, bouncing ferret.”
And even though we can’t transfigure out problems that easily, it’s not for lack of trying!
In this brand-new side chat, we’re getting into the tendency to fixate on a surface-level problem—AKA the smaller thing that feels more manageable—instead of the deeper, less tangible problem that you often feel helpless to solve.
We talked about…
- Examples like fixating on getting a new job because your marriage is failing, or nitpicking your body/image when you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or depressed.
- The 3 red flags that pop up when you’re trying to displace your problems.
- What to do when you catch yourself focusing on the wrong problem, and how to get to the root of what’s really going on.
After you’ve listened, leave a comment to let us know what problems you may have been “transfiguring” lately!
INTERESTED IN 1-ON-1 COACHING?
We “officially” take on clients 3 times per year—the next round will open up in March 2020!
If you’re interested in the possibility of coaching before then, add your name to the wait list and we’ll let you know what our availability looks like.
And if you want a deeper conversation about our coaching process, listen to our episode from October 8, 2019: Why career coaching has almost nothing to do with your career.
EPISODES YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO NEXT…
Side Chat: The 4 Attachment Styles (October 2019)
