“We’ve done so much work on this, why isn’t it changing?”
^^ Not exactly the words you dreamed of hearing from your clients session after session, huh?
You became a coach to create transformation - To help people break free from their patterns, to see real shifts.
But instead… you’re stuck hearing the same recycled stories..
“I don’t know.”
“I already know this.”
“I’ve worked on it before.”
You know there’s something deeper.
But when the moment comes, your chest tightens, your mind blanks - and the chance to finally help them change slips away.
You already know your clients aren’t changing from affirmations, reframes, or pep talks.
You want to go deeper - But you’re scared of making it worse.
What if they spiral and you don’t know what to do?
What if you retraumatise them?
What if you freeze, blank out, and fail them?
That fear isn’t wrong..In fact, it’s a good sign.
It means you’re not reckless
..It means you actually give a damn and we need coaches like you more than ever.
Here’s the problem
with that though..
If you keep letting fear call the shots, You might feel like you’re respecting their pace.. you might feel like you’re avoiding harm…
But honestly? You’re not helping either.
Your clients don’t come to you to be kept safe from transformation
And they definitely don’t come to you to babysit their resistance.
Your clients are exhausted from listening to their own inner critic - the voice that says, “You’ll never change, you’ll never be enough.”
They don’t need more pep talks, or someone blindly agreeing with them.
They need someone who can see past the story, help them face what’s actually going on, and walk with them into the parts they’ve avoided for too long.
Because they’re not looking to be coddled. They’re looking to be liberated.
Here’s the truth:
Most clients don’t get retraumatised because a coach “went too deep.”
They get retraumatised because the coach didn’t know what to do once they got there.
Which means this: the danger isn’t depth.
The danger is trying to navigate it without a map.
And I know how quick you’ve been to blame yourself and find reasons you might not be cut out for coaching..
The way you second-guess your coaching? You call it a confidence issue.
The way you soften your words? You label it self-doubt.
The way you tiptoe around your client’s resistance? You chalk it up to people-pleasing.
The way you don’t trust your intuition to go deeper? You shame yourself for not being “embodied enough.”
But here’s the thing - none of this proves you’re not meant to be a coach.
They are proof you were never trained to hold the depth.
That changes here.
PICTURE THIS...
Tomorrow’s coaching calls
go like this instead:
Instead of your client going blank and saying “I don’t know” for the 9,082,390th time…and you spiralling into self-doubt, scrambling for the next question, filling the silence with nervous chatter, and them leaving the call just as foggy and frustrated as they came in — it gets to be the moment you anchor yourself, guide them straight back into the process, and they leave the session with clarity and direction that finally sticks.
Instead of your client launching into endless explanations - “Yeah, I already know that… it’s because my mum was controlling.” “I’ve worked on this before in therapy.” while you nod along, lost in their story, silently wondering if you’re out of your depth, and the call ends with both of you drained and going nowhere — it gets to be the moment you cut straight through the surface logic, drop into the truth beneath the story, and what used to be another excuse turns into the breakthrough they’ve been chasing for years.
Instead of your client resisting at every turn - “That won’t work for me.” “That’s just how I am. It won’t change.” and you backing off, terrified of pushing too hard, while they walk away even more convinced they’re unfixable — it gets to be the moment you hold steady, guide them deeper than the resistance, and they finally feel themselves shift… proof in real time that change is possible.
This is what happens when you finally have the map to go deeper with clients

Introducing
a Shadow Alchemy Coaching Academy
Training experience
Live on Zoom, September 20th, 2025, 9-12pm AEST
This 3-hour training intensive for coaches who are tired of pep talks and surface shifts - but don’t want to f*ck up their clients when things go deep.
Inside, you’ll learn the exact frameworks and tools that turn those “oh sh*t” moments - the spirals, shutdowns, blank stares, resistance, rambling, and deflection - into the turning points your clients will never forget.
Let me walk you through exactly what you’ll be learning in this Shadow Lab:
Topic 1:
Safety & Depth Without Damage
Depth vs. retraumatisation — the real reasons clients get harmed, and how to stop it, so you can go deeper without second-guessing if you’re unsafe.
The ‘safe space’ myths — what you’ve been taught wrong about safety, and how to actually create it using the 4-P Framework, so you stop hiding behind vague “hold space” platitudes.
How to go deeper without overwhelming clients — tools to pace the work so your client feels stretched, not shattered, and leaves empowered instead of raw.
When to go deeper vs. when to pause — a simple map that takes the guesswork out of those “oh shit, what now?” moments, so you always know your next move.
How to know when it’s not yours to hold — spotting when a client needs referral, so you can coach with integrity without carrying what isn’t yours.
Topic 2:
Working with resistance
Resistance vs. readiness — how to tell when a client is avoiding versus when they’re genuinely not ready, so you can quit wasting time nodding through stories and start guiding toward real breakthroughs.
5 ways to spot resistance — so you can recognise “I don’t know,” “I already know this,” or endless loops the moment they show up instead of getting pulled into them.
The Resistance Playbook — exactly what to say when clients push back, so resistance becomes the turning point instead of the dead end.
The Villain Effect — why sometimes being “the bad guy” is the exact breakthrough your client needs, and how to do it without being an asshole.
Topic 3:
Staying confident in difficult sessions
How to navigate client sessions with confidence — so you stop fumbling for the “right” question and start leading with clarity, even when things feel messy.
How to trust yourself when you blank — a grounding process for the moments you think, “What if I can’t remember what to say?” so you can lead anyway.
What to do if a client shuts down or blanks out — instead of panicking, you’ll have simple steps to bring them back safely and keep momentum flowing.
How to sit with emotional intensity without panicking — so tears, anger, grief, or freeze states stop throwing you into helplessness and start becoming the doorway to change.
Moving beyond intellectualising — how to guide with presence and embodiment instead of clinging to theory or scripts, so you quit spiralling into “Am I doing this right?” mid-session.
And Because I Want This to Stick…
Here’s A Couple of Things I Added to Make This Easier
Bonus #1: The Resistance Playbook
Ever had a client say “I don’t know,” ramble in circles, or push back at every turn… and you just froze?
This Playbook is your new lifeline.
Inside, you’ll get the exact scripts and strategies to flip the hardest client defences - “I don’t know,” “I already know this,” endless stories, avoidance, victimhood, over-rationalising - into breakthroughs that actually land.
No more spiralling, no more second-guessing.
Just confident, clear coaching in the moments that matter most.
Bonus #2:
The Depth Map
Ever sat in a session wondering, “Is it safe to go deeper, or am I about to push too far?”
The Depth Map is your compass.
Inside, you’ll find a simple 3-step framework that shows you exactly when to go deeper, when to pause, and when to refer out — so you’re never left guessing in the middle of a messy session.
No more blanking, no more “what if I break them?” panic. Just steady, confident guidance that keeps both you and your client safe while still creating real breakthroughs.
“I can’t believe I was coaching without this.”
“This has been even more than I could have imagined. It’s exactly what I needed, and I cannot believe I was coaching without these safe practices and processes.”

Here’s Where We Have the Honest Chat
If you’re anything like the coaches I work with, you’ve already tried a lot to “fix” this.
You’ve read the books, binged the podcasts, done the mindset courses, maybe even stacked a certification or two.
And yet… when your client stares at you and says “I don’t know,” your chest still tightens.
You still freeze.
You still wonder if maybe you’re not cut out for this.
Let’s walk through the most common things I see coaches attempting to solve this - and why they haven’t worked.
Attempt #1:
More Mindset Work
You’ve tried stacking affirmations, reframes, clever coaching questions — because you thought more positive thinking would shift the block.
But it only lasted until your client spiralled again.
And then you found yourself right back in the silence, wondering if you said the wrong thing or got it wrong.
Why it doesn’t work: Mindset tools don’t touch what’s stored in the body. They just float on the surface.
Attempt #2:
More Theory (Courses, Books, Certifications)
You’ve said, “If I just learn more, I’ll finally feel ready.”
So you bought another course. You memorised scripts. You gathered a library of modalities.
But deep down, it wasn’t addressing the thing you actually feared — not knowing what to do when a client’s emotions get messy in real time.
Why it doesn’t work: You can’t think your way into presence. You have to practise it in the room, in your body.
Attempt #3:
Playing It Safe
You’ve avoided going deep altogether. Told yourself, “I’ll stay surface-level so I don’t hurt them.”
But that time never really comes - because “safe” quickly turns into stagnant. And your clients leave sessions feeling exactly how they came in.
Why it doesn’t work: Keeping them comfortable isn’t the same as keeping them safe. Real safety is built in depth, not avoidance.
The Truth? Playing It Safe Isn’t Just Holding Your Clients Back — It’s Holding You Back.
It’s not just the awkward silences or the fumbling for the “right” question.
It’s the constant second-guessing.
The quiet dread before a client call, wondering if today will be the day you freeze.
The exhaustion of overthinking every move - analysing, comparing, doubting.
It’s the way you don’t trust yourself anymore… the way you feel like a fraud every time you log into Zoom.
And maybe worst of all? The belief that you’re the problem.
That you’re not smart enough. Not safe enough. Not “qualified” enough - that leads to the slow erosion of self belief.
I’ve watched too many brilliant coaches walk away because of this - not because they weren’t capable, but because they stopped believing they were.
That’s the real cost of playing it safe: your confidence, your impact, and sometimes even your calling.

Doors Close In
Wondering if this will work for you?
You’re not the only one who’s asked that.
I've trained many coaches who once froze when a client said “I don’t know,” or convinced they needed more books or tools to feel confident, and spiralled into overthinking every time a session went quiet.
Now, those same coaches are guiding breakthroughs that stick, holding big emotions without panicking, and walking into sessions steady, safe, and confident in the exact moments that used to shake them.
Here are some of their words.
“Run, don’t walk.”
“This space let me connect with other women and level TF up. Caitlin is such a beautiful mix of support and nurture, while also unafraid to ask the tough questions. I cannot wait to start using these tools with my clients to help them find peace, freedom and expansion. Run, don’t walk.”
- Past Student
“Tools to take sessions — and my life — to the next level.”
“If you’re wondering whether this is for you — DO NOT think twice. It will equip you with the tools to take your client sessions to another level, and it will also give you the tools to identify and navigate your own triggers, blocks, and judgments. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.”
- Past Student
“I left with tools, support, and confidence I can’t even explain.”
“You will leave this feeling like you can’t even put your experience into words — but knowing you have the tools, support, and confidence to apply shadow work to your own life and your clients’ lives in ways that feel good and safe.”
- Past Student
“The missing link I’d been searching for.”
“Prior to this, I felt like something was missing. The same client patterns kept repeating. This gave me the missing link: a deeper understanding of trauma and the embodiment tools to finally close loops rather than just bypassing them.”
- Past Student
“I have never felt more certain and confident in my coaching"
“I have never felt more certain and confident in the coach that I am and how I want to support my clients. What you’ve created for coaches is a real gift to this industry.”
- Past Student
“I finally feel like a real coach.”
“Before this training, I felt like I was tiptoeing around my clients—afraid to push, afraid to get it wrong. I’d leave sessions second-guessing everything. This gave me the exact tools I needed to hold depth with confidence. Now I know how to go deeper without doubting myself, and my clients are actually shifting instead of circling the same stories. It’s changed the way I coach—and the way I see myself.”

Let’s Take the Pressure Off
I know what happens when you land on a page like this.
Your body leans in because the work feels right… and then your mind kicks in:
“But what if I can’t make it live? What if something comes up? What if I waste my money again?”
Let’s ground that.
I know what happens when you land on a page like this.
Your body leans in because the work feels right… and then your mind kicks in:
“But what if I can’t make it live? What if something comes up? What if I waste my money again?”
Let’s ground that.
The Shadow Lab is built with care:
You’ll walk away with practical tools and frameworks you can use in your very next client session — not just theory to file away.
It’s an interactive, live training, so you’ll be supported in real time instead of left to figure it out alone.
You’ll have lifetime access to the replay, so you can revisit the material anytime you need to ground, refresh, or prepare before a session.
And if something unexpected comes up, you can transfer your ticket to another coach — no wasted investment.
Please note: because this is a one-time live event with replay access, no refunds are available once the Lab runs.

This isn’t about locking you in or catching you out. It’s about creating a clear, safe container.
So you know exactly what you’re stepping into — with zero grey areas.
And here’s the truth: if you’ve been let down by programs or trainings before, that hesitation makes sense. It’s your system trying to protect you.
But that’s exactly why I built The Shadow Lab — a space that doesn’t overpromise, doesn’t bypass, and doesn’t leave you guessing.
This is depth, with safety. Clarity, with care.
If your gut is saying yes, you can trust it.
Meet your teacher
Hi, I’m Caitlin
I’m the founder and director of Shadow Alchemy Coaching Academy. For over 6 years, I’ve been teaching coaches how to move beyond mindset hacks and actually hold depth with confidence.
I created The Shadow Lab: Depth Without Damage because I saw the same fear come up again and again: “What if I f*ck up my client? What if I don’t know what to do?”
I’ve been there myself — freezing in sessions, doubting everything, and wondering if I was even cut out for this work.
This Lab is built from the exact frameworks I’ve used to help hundreds of coaches shift from overthinking and avoiding depth to confidently guiding their clients through the moments that once terrified them.
If you’ve ever thought, “What if I mess it up?” — this space was made for you.

Wondering if this is right for you?
We made a checklist just for you
(Cause everyone loves a checklist, duh)
This lab is
for you if..
You freeze when a client says “I don’t know” — then walk away second-guessing everything they did (or didn’t) say.
You want to go deeper with your clients, but you haven’t known how to guide clients through it without feeling pushy or unsafe.
You’ve read the books, gathered modalities, maybe even taken other trainings… but the pieces still don’t connect into something you can actually use in session.
You long for a clear framework you can lean on — so you’re not fumbling for the “right” question or spiralling into “what if I get this wrong?” mid-session.
You feel the sting of imposter syndrome, secretly wondering if you’re “healed enough” or “qualified enough” — even while knowing your lived experience is what makes you powerful.
You care deeply about integrity and safety — terrified of retraumatising a client, but just as frustrated staying on the surface and watching nothing change.
You want to feel steady in your leadership: calm when emotions get big, clear when resistance shows up, confident even when your mind goes blank.
This Lab isn't
for you if…
You've never worked with a client.
You’re chasing a quick script, mindset hack, or “one magic tool” to skip the discomfort of real depth.
You’d rather stay in theory — collecting knowledge without using it to actually help your clients.
You’re unwilling to look at your own patterns, because if you won’t meet yourself, you won’t be able to meet your clients.
You want breakthroughs without being willing to engage with the deeper work it takes to create them.

Thought You Might Ask That…
If you’re here, you’re probably circling a few “what ifs.” Here are the most common ones coaches bring up.
Q: I’m new to coaching — will this help me?
Absolutely. You don’t need years of experience to benefit. If you’ve worked with even a handful of clients, you’ll be able to apply what you learn right away. The Shadow Lab is built to give you simple, practical frameworks that make coaching easier and more effective — no matter where you’re starting from.
Q: I’ve done a lot of trainings and still don’t feel confident — how is this different?
Most trainings hand you theory without showing you what to do when things get messy. This Lab is built around the real moments that usually cause panic - client shutdowns, “I don’t know,” resistance, big emotions - and gives you tools to meet them calmly and confidently in real time.
Q: Do I need a formal psychology qualification?
No. You don’t need to be a therapist to coach safely and ethically. You just need clear frameworks, somatic tools, and integrity. That’s exactly what this Lab was created to give you.
Q: When and where is it happening?
The Shadow Lab is a live 3-hour training on Zoom.
📅 Saturday, September 20th
🕘 9:00am–12:00pm AEST (Sydney/Melbourne)
Friday, Sept 19 | 7:00–10:00pm ET (New York / Toronto)
Friday, Sept 19 | 6:00–9:00pm CT (Chicago / Dallas)
Friday, Sept 19 | 4:00–7:00pm PT (Los Angeles / Vancouver)
Q: What if I can’t make it live?
You won’t miss out. Every participant gets lifetime replay access, so you can revisit the full training whenever you need it - before a client call, when doubt creeps in, or months later as you deepen your practice.
Q: Do you offer refunds?
Because this is a one-time live event with immediate replay access, no refunds are available once the Lab runs live. If something comes up before then, you can transfer your ticket to another coach.
Q: What if I still have questions?
No problem, feel free to reach out and ask. DM us on Instagram @shadowalchemycoachingacademy or email at [email protected].
You Already Know What’s Not Working
You’ve read the books, joined the trainings, told yourself to “just be more confident.”
And still - when a client repeats the same patterns, or they resist, goes blank, or breaks down, you feel yourself freeze or spiral into doubt.
Not because you’re not cut out for coaching.
But because no one ever taught you how to hold depth safely.
This Is Where That Changes
The Shadow Lab isn’t another mindset hack or theory you’ll never use.
It’s a 3-hour live intensive that shows you exactly how to go deeper without harm — so you can hold clients through resistance, emotion, and the messy middle with steady confidence.
You’ve circled this long enough.
Now’s your moment to step in.
