Ever found yourself reacting in the heat of the moment without thinking?
It’s called emotional hijacking, and it can strike anywhere—whether you're stuck in traffic, facing a tough meeting at work, or dealing with family issues at home. One minute, you're calm; the next, you're caught up in automatic reactions driven by past experiences and old emotional patterns. When this happens, you're no longer present or in control—you're simply reacting.
In Ontological Coaching, we believe “the context is decisive.” This means that your current reactions are shaped by your past experiences and survival mechanisms. The good news? You can change this. As humans, we have a unique ability for self-awareness that allows us to interrupt these automatic responses and choose how we want to act.
