Character Formation Coaching: Proposing a Christian Mind/Body Transformational Coaching Model

By Aaron Eggman

Character Formation Coaching (CFC) is a mind/body Christian approach that guides helping professionals in enacting permanent transformational neuroplastic brain change. CFC is founded on a Christian worldview and the wisdom of God as found in attachment research, interpersonal neurobiology, affect regulation theory, developmental theory, infant observation, characterological research, and somatic trauma treatment research and is an affect-focused, experiential, sensorimotor, dynamic coaching model. This book seeks to equip practitioners in the art of the science of enacting bottom-up right-to-left neuroplastic brain change through the new science of memory reconsolidation. Mastering the concepts in this book trains a helping professional to make "the implicit explicit," "the explicit experiential," "the experiential transformational," and the "transformational procedural." Key concepts covered in the book include:1.) The Character Formation Coaching Avatar: The CFC Avatar is a detailed, comprehensive intervention roadmap detailing the affective markers which inform CFC interventions. A skillful coach using this avatar will empathetically guide a client through four states: Disconnected, Core Emotions, Integration, and Transcendent.2.) The Character Formation Protocol: The CFC protocol simplifies the coaching process to seven practical interventions: "be present," "track and attune," "stay with the felt sense" "follow the body," "affirm and heighten," "welcome and contain," and "metaprocess."3.) The Incarnational Stance: The word "incarnational" describes how a CFC coach seeks to be with their clients during a session. Their stance, both implicitly and explicitly, aims to be the one that Jesus would take with the client if he were in the room showing radical grace, acceptance, compassion, and love towards them, inviting all parts of an individual into a relationship.4.) The Zones of Regulation chart and protocol: The Zones of Regulation is a guide for coaches to help keep their clients emotionally regulated so that transformational brain is possible.5.) The components that make up character structure.
