Melancholic clients bring deep thought, rich interior lives, and powerful potential for transformation, but only if you know how to coach them well.

In this episode of The Catholic Coaching Podcast, we walk you through the do’s and don’ts of coaching the melancholic temperament. Whether you're a Catholic mindset coach, spiritual director, mentor, teacher, or parent, this episode will help you guide your clients (or loved ones) without overwhelming them or triggering their perfectionism.

Learn how to:

  • Avoid common mistakes when coaching melancholics
  • Help clients get out of their heads and into practical action
  • Guide reflective clients through indecision and emotional processing
  • Use tools like visualization, journaling, and “thought recon”
  • Celebrate real growth instead of chasing unreachable ideals

This episode is especially useful if you’ve got clients prone to overthinking, indecision, or emotional overwhelm, and you're not sure how to move them forward without pushing too hard.
