Therapy is a life-changing experience from the inside out. Coaching is a wonderful resource when you need guidance to help you build a new skill or to stay motivated with goals.
Ever wondered whether you need a therapist or a coach? In this episode of 'Soul Sessions', Jodie Gale tackles this common dilemma head-on. If you're grappling with early childhood trauma, disordered eating, or feelings of unworthiness, figuring out the right kind of support can be tricky. Jodie, a seasoned psychotherapist and mind-body eating coach, shares her expertise to help you make an informed choice. Jodie dives into the core differences between therapy and coaching.
Therapy often involves delving into past traumas and working through deep-seated issues. It's about healing and finding a new direction in life. Therapists, like Jodie, are trained to diagnose and treat psychological disturbances, providing a safe space for emotional expression and growth. Coaching, on the other hand, is more about the present and future. It's perfect for setting goals and staying motivated. Coaches help you identify what you want to achieve and create a plan to get there.
Unlike therapists, coaches don't diagnose or treat mental health issues. Their sessions are typically shorter and more flexible, often conducted over the phone or online. So how do you decide which one is right for you? Jodie suggests that if you're dealing with significant emotional or psychological issues, starting with a therapist might be best. Once you've worked through those core issues, a coach can help you focus on specific goals and aspirations.
Jodie also emphasizes the importance of finding a qualified professional. Unfortunately, not everyone who claims to offer psychotherapy is properly trained. Doing your research is crucial to ensure you're getting the right support. Tune in to this episode of 'Soul Sessions' to get a clearer understanding of therapy vs. coaching and find out which path might be best for your unique needs.
