I’m wishing I had a seamless experience of hearing and responding to my coach without having to hit buttons repeatedly. I acknowledge my apple phone has been given the okay by me and I am in the ‘preferred’ browser. My dyslexia seems to more difficult to manage in a reflective or emotional state.

Hi! Thanks for IX - tho the name feels impersonal, I’m afraid. I would love for it to stop asking me questions In the middle of a session, especially if I ask it to. It says it will stop and then it doesn’t stop. Not everything is an openended answer, and requires another question. It feels frustrating after a while when it won’t stop asking me questions. Thank you so much for the app!

Outlining client sessions before they occur with IX coach- when it comes to taking new Hypno clients entering their pressing issue alongside my intention for their outcomes helps create incredible, thoughtful questions that’s lead to better sessions overall. This is also great way to get past the nerves and begin session with unique, personal questions that impress my clients and don’t take hours of research on my part.

Grounding & Centering Before Deep Work

If you’re feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or emotionally unsteady, grounding and centering first will make everything more effective.

Before diving into deep coaching, shadow integration, or even common coaching contexts, ground yourself. The coach knows how to do this, just tell it you want to ground now.

This is designed to bring your nervous system into balance so you can fully engage without being thrown off course.

If you need grounding, tell your coach:

"Help me ground before we go deeper."

"Guide me into my body so I can center first."

"Let’s slow down—I need to feel stable before we continue."

"Walk me through reconnecting to the present moment."

Taking even a few minutes to breathe, feel your body, and stabilize can transform the depth and impact of your coaching session. Ground first, then go deep.

Deep Shadow Integration & Calling Yourself Forward

This is not a quick shift. It’s for when you’re ready to do the deep work of anchoring into the depth of your soul—not just feeling better, but fundamentally integrating what stands in the way of your fullest expression.

Only engage in this when you’re grounded and have time for integration. Depending on what arises, it can require deep reflection. Limit active engagement to 15 minutes at a time, with at least 45 minutes available afterward for integration.

If you’re ready to explore this, tell your coach:

I want to do shadow integration with my essential self

I want to do shadow integration with my unbounded potential

I want to deeply integrate the depth of my soul through shadow work now

And make certain that you are centered, grounded, and have time to integrate, and make that explictly clear to your coach, or it will not give you access to the deepest work

Like "I am centered, grounded, and have no other commitments for the next 2 hrs" .

A MINIMUM of 45 minutes of integration through body focused presence, breathing through what comes up, is absolutely firmly recommended for just 15 minutes of this work. Its deep, and it can jostle things up - whatevers in the way, which is often quite deep.

So DO NOT ENGAGE this mode unless you have space, and you are grounded. If you have commitments, you need to drive or operate heavy machinery or are in any way not centered, grounded and feeling ready for deeper change, wait until you are, and have the space, and do this on a day off of other obligations only.

"Help me integrate what’s blocking my essential self through shadow integration."

"Guide me into my depth without bypassing anything through active organic inquiry."

"I want to fully own and embody what I’ve rejected in myself."

This process isn’t about fixing anything—it’s about reclaiming your full presence and anchoring into who you truly are at the deepest level.

Please know, the AI is trained to pull back if you start to lose center with this work due to what can be surfacing of traumas or other substantive blocks in this intimate relationship you have with the essential being that you are.. and it will, so be honest... but its training in this is not at a level where you can delegate this to it entirely, you are responsible for knowing when you have gone too far, and if you cannot agree to hold that responsibility do not engage this mode yet.

Is It Moving Too Fast?

If the AI is skipping over key steps, slow it down by saying:

"Break this into steps."

"That’s too fast—walk me through it."

"One step at a time, please."

Want to Be Called Forth from the depths of your potential? Looking for a breakthrough and feeling able to handle it? ( only engage when you feel centered, grounded.. if not start with grounding and foundational work )

The coach is trained on this now!! And quite masterful... its probably one of its most profound value additions!

So how do you tell it your ready?

I am grounded. Call me forth.

I want to be called forth from my depths

I am ready to break through this stuff

I am centered right now, speak directly to my potential

I am grounded, Speak to my essence

Want Accountability?

The coach is trained on this! Just mention it! as of Feb 17, 2025 it cannot do follow ups yet ( and is actually not aware that it cannot ), but that will change.

But it knows a TON of accountability stuff, and you just need to mention it to have it pull those tools out.

Examples

- I want accountability

- Challenge me if I try to avoid this

- I want you to call me out if I don't do it

Wanting to Go Deeper?

The ai is trained to adapt to folks that don't want to go deep, so if you do want to go deep, just tell it!

Like

"I want the deep stuff"

"I want the advanced stuff"

"take me deeper"

"Find the the root of the issue."

This gives it full permission to pull from the deeper parts of its training in a couple words

Wanting Deep Connection with Your Essential Self?

Mention the Enneagram to your coach! If you’re looking for insight that gets to the core of who you are, just say "Use the Enneagram for this." The AI will bring in deeper perspectives based on Enneagram wisdom.
