Articles by Elisabetta Franzoso
All articles are written in line with my unique approach to coaching using the 4 Dimensions methodology. The 4 Dimensions take the following basic human aspects into account:
Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Relational to help you discover for yourself what is holding you back and to reshape your life from the inside out. I have also added two additional dimensions, spiritual and confidence as these are integral to my work and coaching process.
Enjoy!
The Physical Dimension
The Physical Dimension explores the part of us that communicates with the external world, our body which is the temple and container of our mind. Within this dimension I address physical confidence and explore the importance of movement and nutrition and sleep patterns.

The Intellectual Dimension
The Intellectual Dimension looks at the left part of our brain ‘the thinking or logical mind’. This is where we we think, analyze, judge and critique. Many of us find that we have been conditioned to think and talk in a negative way, which is why I explore ways we can rewind this.

Visions of a 25 Year Journey
When Stella was born, I promised never to be the kind of mother my own had been with me. I wanted to break the chain. How many of us want the same for ourselves and our children? To be and do better than our parents did? After only one year, I found myself straying from my promise.
Vindictiveness: A Holiday Special
We can be true to ourselves and still do our best to act responsibly by choosing not to hurt others and ourselves by surrendering power to our vindictive side, which is a part of our humanness. We do this by nurturing and remaining faithful and connected to our light.
Adult Love and Childish Love
Loving and being Loved is a basic necessity in life. There are many ways to and be loved but I believe if you strip all these ways bare (be it romantic, friends, family etc), you will find that it comes down to two main kinds of love: 'Adult' love and 'Childish' love.

Authentic Forgiveness: A Process, An Attitude, A Choice
I believe that forgiveness is an exercise in compassion, as Joan Z.Borysenko says in her popular book ‘Guilt is the Teacher, Love is the Lesson’.
