I’m so happy I chose this course!
This course has been incredibly enriching – I feel like all the knowledge has been organized and structured in a way that makes the whole approach to somatic coaching much clearer and more meaningful. I’m excited to have discovered new techniques and methods that I can already see myself integrating into my work with clients. I can’t wait to start applying what I’ve learned and witness the positive changes in the people I work with!

Reflective Practice Entry (Gibbs' Reflective Cycle)
1. Description
I’ve been progressing through a comprehensive course in sex therapy that integrates theory, practical tools, and emotional self-awareness. Module 9 especially focused on professional development and burnout prevention, which struck a chord. I’ve engaged with topics such as self-care planning, peer consultation, and reflective practice — areas I’ve often overlooked due to a demanding schedule and emotional load.
2. Feelings
Initially, I felt a bit overwhelmed and skeptical about adding more to my plate. But as I worked through the material — particularly the case study with Dr. Shah and Elliot — I noticed a shift. I started feeling seen, validated, and inspired. There’s a mix of relief, curiosity, and a quiet motivation growing. I feel like I’m finally giving myself permission to value my growth as much as I do my clients’.
3. Evaluation
Some parts of the course have been deeply affirming — especially those that normalize professional fatigue in emotionally intensive roles. The reflective tools, like Gibbs' model and the structured self-care plans, gave me clear steps instead of vague suggestions.
However, I’ve noticed that old habits — like letting client needs override my boundaries — still creep in. That’s something I want to keep working on.
4. Analysis
The module made me realize that professional development and self-care aren't separate — they're intertwined. The more I pour into structured growth, the more confident and energized I become. The peer consultation strategies reminded me how nourishing it is to connect with like-minded practitioners. I've also realized that I can't wait for "extra time" to do this work — I need to schedule it like it's sacred.
5. Conclusion
I need systems that keep me accountable — not perfection. Even small acts of learning, like reading one article or listening to a podcast while walking, are enough to nourish me and prevent burnout. I also learned that structured reflection helps me catch emotional fatigue before it grows.
6. Action Plan
Weekly: Block out one hour for professional reading or podcast listening (Tues mornings or Thurs evenings).
Monthly: Journal using Gibbs' cycle after any challenging sessions.
Quarterly: Reassess professional development goals and identify any new needs.
Immediate: Reach out to 2-3 trusted peers to explore starting a virtual consultation group.

Amazing course
A lot of good knowledge in this course.
Loved It!
I am an HSP so some of the course was intuitive, but I learned a great deal about myself in the process. I would highly recommend a prerequisite course to explain HSP factors and give a synopsis for better understanding on the student. Possibly a book recommendation, like Dr. Elaine Aron's "The Highly Sensitive Person". I enjoyed the course and am going to have to go through the course again to improve my retention of the tools presented. Well Done!!!
amazing
