I coached a player who recently started his 3rd season with me. With him, I often use the Inner Freedom Method because he is an overachiever. So often he is not playing at ease, but rather powering through things though he's been a very successful business owner for over a decade.

This time, he found himself in the same situation where he realized that's been repeating. He can't say "no" to his clients for things that are not included in the contracts and this puts him in a tough position because every time he says "yes" to them, he sets their expectations higher and higher.

We did dig deep with the method. He felt a very heavy gray concrete-like sensation in his shoulders and arms. He felt the same sensation for the first time in life when his dad said to him: "you cannot do even such an easy task?" while he was cooking or doing something for his dad. He was about 8 years old.

Since then, he didn't want to disappoint anyone and he can't let people down. This connected the dots between what's been happening now in his adult life and his childhood memory. We saw some benefits and positive effects on both sides for him and his clients when he says "no". He realized that what he needs to do is have creative reality-check conversations with his clients. I challenged him to come up with some symbol to represent this.

Awesome session!
