Are you unsure if you should work with a life coach or a therapist? You’re not alone, it can be confusing. So let’s compare:
What is a therapist?
A therapist is a licensed health professional who specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health disorders.
What is a life coach?
A life coach is a person who counsels and encourages clients on personal matters and in their career.
It’s okay if you’re not okay, we are in unprecedented times with this pandemic that has swept the world. I hear and feel the anxiety of others around me and with my coaching clients, things feel heavy, scary, and out of control.
I have to be honest, I worry what months of social distancing will do to our psyche and the long-term effects on our mental health. When I have to tell my 3 year old daughter that she can’t touch or hug her cousin, and that her beloved school is closed and I don’t know when she’ll go back. I wonder what that is doing to her. She might not remember all of the details of this but I believe these things may have a lasting impression on her.
