Therapy or life coaching?  How do I decide?

At some point in our lives we would all benefit from either life coaching or therapy
(counseling).
Let's take a look at the differences to help you decide what's best for YOU.
LIFE COACHING FOCUSES ON:  Taking you from where you are now to where you want to be in the future.  A good coach will help you identify your core values and help you get “clear” on what you want your life to be like.  Basically, they provide you with greater focus and help you to see your “choices” more clearly. 

They will also help you uncover your greatest, blocks, challenges, or obstacles  to set you on your best course of action.  A life coach will provide structure, helping you to lay a solid foundation. 

​After all, the answers are already “inside” of you, your coach will help get you back to “your center” where you will discover those answers for yourself.

COUNSELING (THERAPY) FOCUSES ON:  Therapists will delve more into your past. They will guide you to emotional resolution from your previous issues.
A high percentage of my clients have already been in therapy and state how helpful that was at 
the time, but they are now ready to “move forward” with their life.  
An example of this would be:  Sally battled with anxiety and depression for years and finally started therapy.  She was able to identify specific incidents and threads from her past that led her to this downward spiral.  
After months of having a professional therapist to talk to she got to the point where she no longer needed to go there and felt free and ready to work with her life coach and carve out that vision of her future and create those “extraordinary results” we all long for.
In summary, we would all benefit from having a professional life coach or therapist to turn to at some point in our lives.  I hope you are now clear on the difference between the two should you ever decide to tap into such services.  

There are many different types of  life coaches and I will cover that in one of my posts in the near future.

In the meantime, have you ever thought about working with a life coach?
