Untying the Monkey Knot: Reframing the Patterns That Keep Us Stuck

Untying the Monkey Knot is an experiential workshop designed to help coaches understand the protective mental and emotional “knots” their clients form early in life – patterns that once kept them safe but now limit their growth. Through the lenses of mindset, neuroscience, and self-awareness, this session explores how these internal safety mechanisms evolve into overactive saboteurs that restrict creativity, confidence, and authentic expression.

In this interactive experience, participants learn how to help clients recognize, soften, and reframe these deeply rooted patterns. Using metaphor, reflective inquiry, somatic awareness, and practical coaching tools, the workshop guides coaches in supporting clients as they shift from self‑protection to resilience. Rather than “cutting away” the knot, the process reveals the wisdom within it, empowering clients to meet challenges with clarity, curiosity, and compassion.
