when two world collide

When two worlds collide

Over in Switzerland, the large Hadron collider is busy bouncing protons and neutrons off each other in an effort to discover more about the origins of our universe.

But what if some of those particles didn’t bounce? What if they merged? Fusion can be defined as: The merging of different elements into a union.

If two planets collide, damage occurs. If one planet is much larger, perhaps it absorbs the other. Sometimes that is a good thing. There’s evidence that our own planet earth was hit many times during its history, sometimes by rocks and space debris, sometimes by larger asteroids. One particularly large impact knocked Earth sideways, changing its angle of tilt. As a result, the Earth started to have seasons: winter for the hemisphere tilted away from the sun, and summer for the hemisphere tilted towards the sun.

When elements collide, there is a reaction. When elements merge, something new is formed.

The worlds of counseling and coaching have previously been viewed as separate disciplines, or two communities who spoke a different language. But with the creation of the new BACP Coaching Division, a lingua franca is beginning to emerge.

The fusion of counseling skills with coaching tools and strategies has led to the creation of something very new and powerful in the world of therapy and something which is now available to you in a brief and intensive training programme validated and accredited by the National College of Further Education.
