I love helping my coaching clients feel better about themselves. But sometimes, people need to delve that bit deeper and therapy is a better option.
The best description I've heard so far is that therapy helps people move from not OK to fine. Coaching takes them from OK to extraordinary.
Some people can benefit from both - coaching to help with areas that need improvement and therapy to help eradicate pain from the past.
I recently started training as a psychosynthesis psychotherapist (www.psychosynthesis.edu) and completed the Essentials Course last night.
I'm really looking forward to sharing some of the techniques I learned with my coaching clients (as appropriate - I won't be qualified as a counsellor for three years and a psychotherapist for five).
The Essentials Course is open to everyone (you don't have to want to become a counsellor or psychotherapist) and is, frankly, amazing.
If you're feeling stuck and would like to strip away pain, baggage, doubt and any other negative pattern that's attached itself to you over your lifetime, give it a go.
I've been using coaching techniques on myself as well as my clients for years. I love knowing how to help myself and my clients psych ourselves up to do pretty much anything. But after this five day psychosynthesis course, I'm left with an inner glow that feels effortless (no psyching up required).
All I need to do now is stay open to it...
