Is There A Difference Between Life Coaching And Therapy?
By Kimbles
Is There a Difference Between Coaching and Therapy?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions I receive about Life Coaching. Yes there is a difference and by explaining what Coaching IS, I aim to help you understand what it is NOT and how it is different to Therapy.
Coaching Focuses on:
Where you are right now.
Your needs and wants.
Values.
Goals and actions.
Self-potential.
Acknowledgement.
Support.
Accountability.
Moving forward.
Solutions.
Replacement of sabotaging thoughts, patterns and behaviors.
Trust.
Non-judgment.
Insights.
New perspectives.
Inspiration.
Self-actualization.
Results.
In a nutshell Coaching believes you are fully functional and helps and supports you find your solutions in a quick, effective and life-changing way. It focuses on where you right now and find ways to help you move forward. It is a proactive approach that examines your behavior today and challenges you to develop new behavior. Coaching supports you to take charge of your life and make it whatever you want by providing you with tools and strategies to accomplish the desired shifts in thinking and behaving. It helps you to respond versus react and looks at ways to help you change your life permanently in ways that empower you in every niche of life.
