158: Coach or Therapist: Which Do You Need & How Can Therapists Benefit From Coaching?
Do you need coaching... or do you need counseling?
Sometimes, people get coaching confused with therapy and psychiatry. While coaching has therapeutic elements, it isn’t (and thus can’t replace) therapy or counseling.
In a previous episode, you may have heard me talk about the difference between coaching and counseling. But I gave my point of view on it. Today on the podcast, you’ll get the perspective of clients who are entrepreneurs in the mental health industry who can speak on this better than I can.
In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn about the difference between coaching and therapy and how to discern which one you need. They’ll also discuss the benefits of therapists having a coach and why getting coaching is essential, even for mental health professionals.
