Buttons Coaching Tool

Overview

The "Buttons" coaching tool is designed to help clients identify and understand the emotional triggers—referred to as "buttons"—that lead to reactive behaviours or intense emotional responses. By exploring these triggers, clients can gain insight into the underlying causes of their reactions, learn to manage their emotions more effectively and respond to challenging situations with greater self-awareness and control. This tool is particularly useful for clients who struggle with emotional regulation, experience frequent conflicts, or wish to improve their interpersonal relationships.

Purpose of the 'Buttons' Tool

• Identify Emotional Triggers: Helps clients recognise specific situations, behaviours, or words that trigger strong emotional reactions.
• Understand Underlying Causes: Encourages clients to explore the deeper beliefs, past experiences, or unmet needs that are connected to these triggers.
• Enhance Emotional Regulation: Provides strategies for managing emotions more effectively, reducing the likelihood of reactive behaviours.
• Improve Interpersonal Relationships: Supports clients in responding to challenging situations more thoughtfully, leading to healthier and more constructive relationships.
• Promote Self-Awareness and Growth: Increases self-awareness by helping clients understand the origins of their emotional responses and how to shift towards more adaptive behaviours.
