CARMEN WOLF might need a professional coach, a mentor, a supervisor or a trainer instead of only himself and a pre-defined coaching-process to solve the problem. It could also depend on the topic and the expectations the students had. Concerning the acceptance of the students on the change of pattern state, the answers in the 208 self-coaching sessions were viewed more closely. For example, the first question in the change of pattern state phase “What is there, if the problem is solved?"" was answered in 85% with descriptive keywords including “relief”, “satisfaction”, “pride”, “motivation” and “relaxation”. Only in 7% of the sessions this question was either not answered at all or with answers that might imply a missing acceptance or engagement with the change of pattern state. Concerning the question on how the change of pattern state can be implemented in self-e-coaching it was mentioned earlier that there are already some ideas on how to transfer face-to-face coaching interventions for this into e-coaching and especially for self-e-coaching in a former publication'? of which one possible solution was chosen: the resource activation through the imagination of being on holidays. In the self-coaching app!° that was realized for the study, an intervention?" was chosen based on resources with a vision of being on holidays which was meant to be as neutral and open as possible so as to have a large number of participants that could imagine such a scenario. The students were invited to act as if the problem was already solved. They were asked to imagine they are on vacation with nice weather. It was written that they are relaxed and they are enjoying their favourite drink in natural surroundings. They were asked what there is, if the problem is solved, how it feels (affective component) where they can feel it in their body and what they can feel (physiological and physical component), and additionally what thoughts go through their heads at this point (cognitive component). Afterwards they were again asked to breathe in and out three times (physiological and physical component) and count to five in their head (cognitive component) while thinking of the vacation. This was mainly because without a coach there is no possibility to check, if the client is in solution state phase or not. Usually the coach observes this change of pattern state, but that is of course not possible in self-coaching.

In this case intervention is the designation of the whole method and tool combined that was researched: the self-coaching app. In supervision and coaching the term is used different, e.g. even a question already can be an intervention. + 206 +
