What is the difference between coaching and Therapy?
Although life coaching and counseling have similarities, such as asking the pertinent questions, curious and compassionate listening, and finding patterns in client’s lives, they are not the same thing.
Therapy/counseling is designed to help those with more serious issues lead a more normal, productive life or to get back on track. These types of issues might include severe anxiety, depression, OCDs, moving past neglect/abuse, or going through a personal crisis at home (such as an illness or divorce).
Coaching is not advice, therapy or counseling. It IS a more manageable awareness of biology and emotions that allows for real change, growth from trauma, and forward progress. Often, this change happens faster and more permanently because you’ve gained a deeper understanding about why you’ve been reacting instead of responding.
We will recultivate this terrain based on your priorities and guided by your insights, and experiences. My coaching is grounded in identifying your assets and not retraumatization by allowance of old, defecit thinking.
