Whats the difference between life coaching and therapy?
Therapy is based on a “reactive” mode—in other words, responding to whatever is wrong, fixing the problem or crisis. It’s about digging into the past and present to get a couple to stable, healthy functioning. Life coaching, on the other hand, is entirely proactive. It begins with the present, but is focused on the future. If counseling is about healing and issues of brokenness, coaching is about growth and issues of vision. Coaching takes a stable, healthy functioning couple to a vibrant, dynamic, intimate level—from “acceptable” to “exceptional.
