If you wonder about what the difference.
Between life coaching and therapy is, here you go.
In my efforts to serve my clients the best way possible, I've asked myself that question, too. So I have researched and learned to make sure that I am giving them not just the therapy benefits, but also the life coaching. Because why not, right? So let me tell you what the difference is.
Therapy is the process through which we.
Take our clients from dysfunctional, right? Like they're experiencing some mental illness or symptoms that are preventing them from functioning.
Well in their daily tasks, from feeling.
Emotionally stable, experiencing anxiety, depression. So when they're in that level of dysfunction that they don't know how to.
Do, even basic things that are typically easy for them to do, I pick.
Them up, I hold their hands, and I bring them to a level of functionality. But I don't just stay there. I am not your typical therapist. I take my clients from functional to thriving to elevated, to a better version of themselves. And that's what life coaches do. They. They pick you up, they hold your.
Hand in a place of functionality but dissatisfaction, right?
You want more out of life. You feel a little stuck. You need more motivation. So they hold your hand, they pick you up, and they elevate you. They allow you.
They give you steps and tools and.
Hold you accountable to make sure that you rise up and step up to.
What you're created to be.
So imagine having both the skills of taking someone from dysfunctional to functional and those that will help you take your clients from functional to elevated.
That's where I come in.
I have combined my 20 years of clinical practice, my PhD in clinical psychology, the 20,000 books I've read, all the conferences I've been to, and all my.
Incredible wisdom with my personal experience of walking, the talk of rising above pain.
With my faith and spirituality, which I believe is the most healing of all the above.
And I have created a coaching certification.
So that you don't have to go to school for 20,000 years.
And you may also have the skills, the training, the wisdom to elevate people.
From dysfunctional to thriving. So if you're interested in doing that, I'm your girl.
