A short personal-reflection video (by Carly Hill) describing the speaker's realization that, despite training and practicing as a therapist, much of her work functionally resembled coaching.

When I studied the online industry, studied these coaches, studied really the difference in the definition of therapy and coaching, that's when I had this big aha moment that I was actually coaching the whole entire time in my quote unquote therapy practice. And that may seem like a silly realization that maybe I should have known as a therapist, but nobody really teaches us the difference between therapy and coaching. I think there's so many nuances and overlaps. And being a therapist by trade who had a private practice, I was doing therapy, but the reality was I was helping people with more situational, non clinical, less severe problems, therefore I was doing coaching.
