How is coaching different from psychotherapy?
Coaching is NOT psychotherapy. Psychotherapy generally focuses on treating diagnosable psychological disorders. Because of the vulnerability of individuals who come to psychotherapy, this is a special relationship in the eyes of the law, with specific rules and protections. Psychotherapy is about healing, while coaching is about furthering growth from a starting point of health. Coaching assumes that you are emotionally healthy and able to participate equally in creating the future you desire.
