Chapters

The first thing in the recorded course that I teach you is the difference between therapy and coaching and how to protect your license. So there's so many nuances between therapy and coaching, it can be confusing. If you've ever googled it, maybe you were left more confused. So really breaking down the differences so you can feel confident in your coaching identity, I like to call it a bonus identity we get to have. Right? Therapists can be coaches, but coaches can't be therapists. But we can be both a therapist and a coach. We don't have to lose our therapy or therapist identity just because we gain a bonus identity of a coach. And then how to protect your license. So this is incredibly important, and you worked hard for your license. We want to make sure that we're adding coaching ethically and legally.
