Adam works with a highly capable client who is confident in most areas of life but experiences self-doubt specifically around numbers, data and maths. This traces back to a domineering, incompetent teacher at age 12 or 13 who shamed her rather than teaching her properly. Using timeline work, metaphor and future pacing, Adam guides her back to that classroom to reframe the experience: the failure belonged to the teacher, not the student. She comforts and empowers her younger self, takes that child on a journey through her real achievements, and returns to the classroom with newfound confidence to confront the teacher. The session closes with future-paced rehearsal of calm, capable performance in meetings, framing the shame as returned to sender, like a misdirected letter sent back to where it belongs.


In this session:

  • Return to sender (returning misplaced shame to its source)
  • Numbers are neutral, reactions belong to people
  • Seed and germination conditions metaphor for capability
