Life Coaching is Not Therapy
Although life coaching and counseling may have similarities, such as asking the important questions, listening, and finding patterns in people's lives, they are not the same thing.
Counseling is designed to help those with serious issues lead a normal, productive life. Training is focused on those with clinical disorders like depression and schizophrenia and teach them how to behaviorally train people to become more like the rest of society.
Life Coaching is different. Life coaching is about helping regular people just like you reach new heights and get direction on the issues that they need most. In many ways counseling is about the past, but life coaching is about the future, and helping those that want to achieve greater things reach their ultimate vision.
Think of it like the archeologist and the architect. The archeologist digs up the past in order to piece together where we can from and who we are. The architect works with the current foundation and works to build an amazing building that reaches for the stars.
Life coaching is about turning you into a better you, and unlike therapy is a great choice for regular people that wish to achieve greatness.
Everyone Can Benefit From a Coach
Everyone can benefit from being coached at some point in their life. It may be when you are in emotional despair, or when you are stuck with your bad habits, or when you simply want to have advice and put yourself on a path to abundance. Reflect back on your life this week and make a list of all of ways in your life that a coach can benefit you.
