(for self-coaching and exploration as well)
These are not in any particular order.
- In Amen University’s Brain Health Coach program Dr. Amen teaches the 4 Circles. This could be helpful when coaching as a spiritual coach (I prefer the term concierge).
Sidenote: I have not gone too deep with his “tame your dragons” stuff, but I can see how each dragon relates to under/over activity in the brain systems (summary here) that we were trained on as Brain Health Coaches. “Tame” is too harsh for me…. We would want to LOVE on our dragons (find out how they think they are helping us, etc, ultimately have them adopt more helpful roles)… At this point I am not sure if that is what Dr. Amen recommends, but that is what I would recommend. [See #3 below.]
You might want to do/have your coachee take the Name Your Dragons quiz and then use more love-oriented recommendations from there.
Back when I got certified as a Brain Health Coach at Amen University we were taught “Kill the ANTS.” ANTS = automatic negative thoughts.
Now I recommend things like IFS’s 6 F’s, lucid dreaming, etc… (See #3 for more on IFS.) - 33 Day Journey into the Heart of Consciousness (free)

Buy his books eg Proof of Heaven, Living in a Mindful Universe - IFS = Science-backed Internal Family Systems, started in the 1980’s, acknowledges “multiplicity of mind,” what we usually refer to as “parts” as well as the part that’s not a part: Self.
Goals: more Self Energy in the system, parts are guided by Self. Inner harmony.
NOTE: All parts have good intentions, so we always welcome our parts and help them to unburden so they can take on a more productive role.
