Why Highly Sensitive Coaches Struggle Financially In Their Business
One of the biggest challenges many highly sensitive coaches, therapists, and healers have is that they have all sorts of struggles to make money in their business, to be financially successful in their business.
As a self-employed, highly sensitive empath, coach, and healer for over 26 years, who has supported many empaths and highly sensitive coaches with their business over. I don’t just see this in others. As a huge overgiver in my business, I understand the patterns, the signs, and the consequences all too well.
Understanding The Deeper Motivations And Patterns Of The Highly Sensitive Coach
Like everything in life, the more we understand what drives something or someone. We can understand the beliefs and patterns that keep us stuck and help us expand and grow.
The Main Motivation Of Many Highly Sensitive Coaches
For example, many highly empathic coaches or the highly sensitive coach have a strong drive to help, serve, rescue, or even save others at the unconscious level. Their wounds, such as their wounded healer traits, are driving their work.
Also, their main motivations behind this work are often not driven by the same money or financial goals that many other types of coaching are built on.
Many of the most gifted and experienced coaches, therapists, and healers I have ever met were highly sensitive coaches, but equally, they were also the most likely to undercharge, compared to some of the worst coaches who charged premium prices.
Something I have witnessed over and over again in myself and many of the coaches I have both worked with and supported over the last 20 years.
So let’s look more deeply at why the HSP Coach tends to struggle with financial abundance.
Success Struggles Of Highly Sensitive Coaches
Some of the most common struggles of the highly sensitive coach or deeply empathic coach are:
The Highly Sensitive and Empathic Coach who is so dominated by their altruistic traits, they struggle to receive proper exchange or financial remuneration, which leads to all sorts of money and financial issues.
The Unboundaried Empath Coach that is so entangled in other people’s pain and suffering, they self-abandon, have very few boundaries, and seem to forget they are actually running a business, not a charity.
Highly Sensitive Coaches, motivated so much by self-actualization or spiritual self, become very ungrounded and impractical in business.
The Highly Sensitive Coach who struggles or resists the business, marketing, and technical aspects of their business. Many Empathic or Highly Sensitive Coaches fear the business and marketing part of the business. Or really struggle with the masculine aspects of structure and organisation.
How Highly Sensitive Coaches Can Begin To Heal Your Money Struggles
Top tips on how the empath coacha nd the highly sensitive coach can begin to heal their abundance and money challlenges in their business.
Get More Grounded
Traditional-based meditation techniques and grounding strategies, including spending time in nature, help support and heal the root chakra. You must address root-level challenges, conditioning, and beliefs that need to be addressed.
Be More Open To Receiving
Often, life’s over-givers, carers, healers, therapists, and empathic coaches come from such a place of lack of over-giving that they have forgotten how to receive. Don’t get caught up in how the universe gives/provides, trust, and be open to receiving the help and support in whatever shape it comes. Focus on gratitude daily; this will increase your vibration.
Heal Your Wounds
If you are highly empathic or highly sensitive and affected deeply by other people’s energy. Heal your own wounds, heal your own issues by healing your inner child and your shadow archetypal traits. Being aware of others’ pain and taking others’ pain are two very different things. Many coaches and healers can go into this type of work because of their own life challenges, which are still being healed. This can take time, but you must take the time to address them.
Own Your Sensitive Gifts
Own your uniqueness, your spark of wonder, your specific gifts you are here to share with your clients. So many highly sensitive coaches doubt their own abilities, stop focusing on what everyone else is offering or charging, and do their own thing. Stop giving your energy and power away.
Face Your Fears
Face and address your own sabotaging fears or sabotaging patterns of behaviour. There is no point focusing on a law of attraction mindset if you are trying to suppress or deny what needs to be addressed. What we resist persists, what we suppress will eventually come to the surface.
Own Your Coaching Business
Start owning and honouring the fact that you are a business. Work on addressing any shadow wounds you have around this. So many of the highly sensitive coaches and therapists that I work with struggle for years because of naive or distorted views. Some simply don’t have a proper marketing plan or strategy to grow and sustain their business.
Get Connected
When you get connected with spirit, god, and your essence. You live each day with a greater sense of confidence, calm, and trust. You get out of your fearful, sabotaging head and into a state of being. And how can you do that? Well, with the right type of meditation. The type of meditation or technique that helps you access that sense of presence, stillness, and inner wisdom at almost the switch of a button. When we can bring in a state of peace, stillness, and connectedness to our moment-to-moment life. Our fearful, sabotaging mind starts to fall away.
