A coaching podcast with Christina Merkley and Tobias Weghorn where Tobi steps into the client seat for a real coaching demo and you get to experience what visual coaching feels like on a live digital canvas. Christina guides a step-by-step process using her visual self-inquiry map, moving from the “mind and doer” into somatic signals (hello, tight lungs) and into parts work (IFS coaching) with an exile, protectors, and inner child healing. The session lands in a grounded future self visualization where Tobi meets his 55-year-old self, borrows some calm perspective, and leaves with a simple way to reconnect anytime. If you want to learn coaching through an honest, in-the-moment demo, this episode shows how visuals can make inner work more tangible.
Key Learnings:
- Run a simple coaching demo check-in: start with the “mind/doer,” name the protector, and explicitly invite “being” as a job the doer can do (presence before problem-solving).
- When a client is logically “fine” but the body isn’t, pivot into visual coaching + somatic inquiry: locate the sensation (e.g., lungs), greet it, and notice what naturally shifts before interpreting.
- Use parts work (IFS coaching) + future self visualization in one flow: meet the inner child, offer adult ally support (“I’ll always be with you”), then ask the future self for next-step guidance and a memorable anchor to revisit it.
