Goals: To get from being overwhelmed and under-appreciated to meaningful challenges that draw upon her gifts and inspire her to develop even higher skills.

Methods: Sometimes it is necessary to get context changes in order to progress in coaching or counseling. In this case, it looks like the context change is a goal rather than a short-term objective. That means that the focus on methods will be in the other categories. Not that keeping an eye on the classifieds isn’t a good idea.

Behavior

Goals: Complement her success with specific strategies.The first two sessions created a strong impression that the short-term action is in the meaning and physiology areas.

Methods: Coming in a close third is the area of ADD coping strategies. These strategies will probably do a lot for her attitude and feelings of resourcefulness as well. This should create an upward, self-reinforcing spiral. It is also important to enhance her intimacy skills with her husband. But her thought patterns that bind her into less resourceful ways of handling her husband come first.

Physiology

Goals: Reduce ADD symptoms and respond to old emotional triggers with new mastery.

Methods: Consider medication (via a referral to a psychiatrist), supplements, exercise, and anything else that will help her with ADD from a physiological perspective. Direct her to sources of information for this.

Do reprocessing to help her generate a more resourceful state instead of being stuck in an irked state. Whatever processes are used, NLP techniques will rely a great deal on state management.
