Connection Games Integration Coaching

Why

A Connection Games session, or something else, moves something in you. What happens next is up to you: it fades by Thursday, or it changes how you live. Integration is the part where it changes how you live, and it is easier with someone beside you than alone.

Coaching, and healing

Coaching goes from zero to infinity. Healing goes from minus to zero. We do our best to be trauma-informed and to be a positive part of your healing, but our primary focus is coaching. We know the line between them can be thin. We hope we are not your only support: please tell your therapist about Connection Games, and let us know what they think.

What

CG Integration Coaching is coaching on four squares: the games and the five principles, in the sessions and in your own life.

Each square leans on the squares next to it. The journey runs from the top left to the bottom right, from learning 26 games to living OneConnectedLife. The bottom right is hard. It is an aspiration, and that is the point.

You have one primary coach. Between calls you share a private thread with them, for messages, notes and small check-ins. Email coaching is included, and so is your coach reading your post-game reflection.

Your coach may suggest that one week you have a session with a different coach who is a better fit for what is up. The coaches coordinate and share notes. Your primary coach can change over time. The whole village coaches you.

How

Weekly calls, or a longer call every other week — 30 and 60 minutes by default. You pick the rhythm when you register. For the first month or two, four 30-minute calls is the rhythm we suggest.

Inside each slot: 25 or 50 minutes of coaching, then 5 or 10 minutes of integration, where you and your coach each write down what you take from it. If you both want to go on past that, you say so, and continue.

After each call your coach writes short notes for you to read. If the call was recorded, a summary sits alongside. You are asked how it went: were you happy with the session, how did you come in, how did you leave.

What you write, and what your coach writes about you, is yours. It is in your account export and it is deleted with your account.

CG Integration Coaching comes as part of a Connection Games series — weekly 30-minute calls or 60-minute calls every other week, picked once you register. You and your coach can agree a different length. It can also follow a one-off session, if that’s where you’re starting.

Your coach

You have one primary coach. They work with you across your sessions — one relationship, not a rotating cast.

Between sessions

You and your coach share a private thread on the site: messages, notes, and small check-ins between calls. It belongs to the two of you, and no one else can read it. Separately, you can consent to your own recordings and reflections being used to help your coach prepare — for your own sessions, for a group session, or for someone else’s — and nothing is used that way without it.

After each session

Your coach writes short notes about the call, for you to read. If the session was recorded, a summary sits alongside them. And you’re asked how it went — a quick check: were you happy with the session, how did you come in, how did you leave.

Another coach for a one-off

Sometimes your coach thinks someone else is a better fit for a particular session, and recommends them. That coach sees nothing of your thread until you say yes. You choose whether they see only what happens from here on, or everything so far — and you can remove them later.

Your words stay yours

What you write, and what your coach writes about you, is yours. It’s included in your account export, and it’s deleted with your account.
