3 Brains Coaching: How It Can Transform Your Leadership And Decision-Making – Katrina's Testimonial

Katrina uses 3 Brains Training with actors and corporate clients to move past intellectual stuck points. The body-based approach complements talk therapy and builds on Bessel van der Kolk's work, giving clients a richer language to dialogue with different parts of themselves.

I work predominantly with anxiety, so performance anxiety, with actors, but also in a corporate setting. And I found the 3 Brains Training— well, it was quite phenomenal for me. There's lots and lots of synergies with character creation. Mm-hmm. So I found that I was able to not just connect with, with actors in a different way, But offer clients a different type of language and a different way of connecting with their bodies. Because a lot of talk therapy can be very here up.
Yeah.
So very cut off, not integrated. And what the 3 Brains Training helped me with was that integration, because I'm quite naturally integrated. Yeah. In touch with myself. But it provides another language and a way of articulating and checking in and connecting really with yourself. And I'm quite obsessed by this work because I find that there's a disconnect for people that have been through things or are struggling with issues. And they're trying to work it out intellectually, but it can actually be trapped within the body. And so one of the best books I've read about this was Bessel van der Kolk's The Body Keeps the Score. And he, you know, he articulates it beautifully, but I found Chris's training synergized with this. It made a whole lot of sense. It kind of took that book to another level. Because you can actually start to talk to different parts of yourself. or those different brains and start to understand, start to unravel, start to shift some things. And so that's what I found, yeah, quite mind-blowing. And I use it all the time in my work. It doesn't just give you another tool for your toolbox. It provides you, I think, with a different lens To look at things through and to work through. If you can't kind of get to somewhere or you're a little bit stuck with the communication between you and a client, it can provide a great language to do that.
