Students often share with me how simple is the concept of five elements but can be confusing in its application. I can agree because five element seems simple and can be practiced on the surface or much more profoundly to understand the need of human at the psychological level, and it takes a lot of guts to just go to this level.
The reason it can be confusing at times is because, now this is the catch - as a coach yourself, it is important to understand the unique definition for each of the element for the person you are working with and respect them, this is what matter.
