How To
What makes life coaching different than therapy?
Therapy is for people who have problems and need help to move forward. Life coaching helps you get beyond where you are now and move towards the future you desire.
Life Coaching is based upon the belief that everyone has unlimited potential. It is not what skills you have, but how well you use those skills. Our belief is that clients can become happier, healthier and wealthier by learning these skills.
We also believe there is an important distinction between 'therapy and coaching. Therapy focuses on fixing problems, while coaching focuses on developing strengths.
Therapists may focus on symptoms such depression, anxiety or anger. While coaches will focus on strengths like resilience, optimism, confidence and self-awareness. Both of them focus on change.
The difference is that therapists are trained in fixing problems and coaches to build strength. Counselors often feel self-conscious and feel worse about themselves. They may believe that if they talk to another person, they will feel better. This is false.
To help clients find their answers, coaches ask them questions. Ask, for example, "What are you passionate about?" Or, "What would you do if you had no limits?"
They don’t try to tell customers what to do. Instead, they help them discover what makes them happy. They look at the whole person, including their body, mind, spirit and emotions. Rather than focusing on the problem.
Life coaching has a second advantage: It's more cost-effective than traditional therapies.
Therapy is usually a series of sessions per week that last several months or years. A good therapist charges between $50-$100 per session. You could spend thousands on therapy if you only need one session per calendar month.
A life coach works with you once every two weeks for a fraction of the cost. Because life coaching costs less, it's affordable for many.
